6 new calves today - the beginning of the first big wave, I think! The cows are testing my faith in them - found a calf outside the fence today with no mama around. Found another that mom forgot - she was glad when I brought her calf back to her. And a third wanted to eat my lunch when I went to tag her calf.
Looks like we'll have at least 5-6 more tomorrow...
