A happy ending….

….and all is forgiven and forgotten.  Moms are that way.  The little bull calf slept late but obviously had eaten and had been mostly cleaned off during the night.

He’s by THF Jackpot….and his young mother took to her new role immediately.  There is always a danger that a difficult birth can be so traumatizing that the mother won’t have anything to do with the newborn.  That’s why we kept them together in a small pen overnight but it was fairly certainly from the beginning that she was going to be fine with him.

They’re now out in the heifer pasture together, where he has a playmate.
