Calf Run!

Today's plan:
  • run north on trails from my volunteer job
  • rendezvous with running buddy Connie
  • continue north on trails alongside or through cow pastures
  • keep a sharp eye out for newborn calves
Pastures one and two had lots of cows - some verrrry wide - but no calves.
Pasture three, and there it was: a brand new calf on wobbly legs, then laying down under the watchful gaze of its mother who lumbered over to lick the youngster.

Mama cow keeping a close eye on us as her baby snuggles down in the grass

Those babies are going to be popping out all over the place now. There will definitely be more pasture running in the coming days!

You Boulderians don't seem to have much snow - we're eat up with it down here in Purgatory.
