Love is in the air

I had been starting to wonder if my ram was gay or something. He
really hadn't shown much interest in the ewes...until yesterday....
Let's just say this - it looks like we'll be having spring lambs.
Yep, I think it is 140 or 150 days from today, and we should seeing
fleece-balls bounding around the field.
On another note, the calf seemed to not be showing much interest in
the hay, so we brought out some feed that the previous owners had left
(not sure if it is horse food or what) and the calf tore into it like
she was starved. Seeing as how she looks like she is starved too, we
figure we need to buy some feed for her tomorrow. We don't know how
old she is, but maybe she isn't ready for a 100 percent pasture diet
just yet. Hopefully she makes it through...weaning is a tough time in
a calf's life. Heck, she was even nosing around our legs looking for
udders till we pushed her off (which she accepteed as very cow-like
behavior and immediately ceased the aggressive nosing.)
