Introducing the Baby Cow Pie

Grace's obsession with Cows continues.  She wants to rent one if she can't have one of her own.  If we just move the shed and open the garage door she thinks we will have room for a cow at our house.  We were just leaving Wayne when uncle Nim (Jan) called to say he had a cow ready.  We hurried to Bicknell, pulled our van into the middle of the corral and got the incredible experience of watching from start to finish.  This mama walking confused in circles in the middle of the field away from other cows with her tail up. 

For some reason she moved back over closer to the other cows.  She kept laying down then standing up and pacing and pacing.  

 Starting to see a little something.

 Oh it's the sac-and then it broke.  Grace got to see all of that.

 Then hooves showed up and not long, she was pushing, moving up and down.

 The baby came quickly after.

A sweet baby Pie. 

 A very satisfied girl. She said, "I hope I don't cry."

A Protective Momma

 Within 30 minutes that baby was standing.

 

 And trying to nurse.  It took the momma a minute to figure out what was going on but she finally the baby latch.

 Jan and the girls celebring. Elessa got there in time to see the baby stand.

Grace said it was the best experience ever.  Walker got to see it too, but didn't quite get what was going on.  So cool!
