Spring is for Babies

Besides all the other irons we have in the fire, we also raise beef cattle on our farm, Triple J Farms. We named it after our 3 sons. So far we have had 7 babies with 2 more due. It is a fun, but stressful time; you don't know if they are going to have problems birthing, troubles eating, or get sick. This year has gone pretty good; a few bumps in the road but that is expected. We even had twin boys, a first for us! The babies are so cute when they are little and are a favorite of mine to photograph. Here are a few of the babies. Enjoy!

I love this little guys markings! One of the twins.

 This one is our orphan calf. She is so lovable, she rubs on you like a dog would.

 Everybody knows what the grain bucket is! This is the twins.

Snow Fun

We went out to work on the maple syrup lines so I decided to grab a few shots of the kids in the snow. One was cooperative, one was semi cooperative and number 3, well, he just wanted to run!

Even when he is grumpy, he is cute!

I can't decide between the color and black and white.

Is it really Spring?

This crazy weather. Since it was sunny out and mid 40's, I kicked the kids outside to get rid of some of this cabin fever. The snow has melted and we now have mud. And anyone with kids knows, where there is mud, there is kids. We also have two new babies and I caught them napping in the sun along with all of the other cows.
