We had an opportunity to visit some newborn Angus calves yesterday. Since it was such a beautiful spring day here in the Rockies, we jumped at the chance! Meredith was so excited - besides the cats and dogs in her home and storybooks, cows are one of her favorites (plus "moo" is one of the few animal noises she can actually imitate). So we talked it up, drove up to the ranch and she ran to the barn. Once we got inside and she saw the size of Mama Cow, it was a whole different story! Even though the babies were about as tall as she is, it was still a bit intimidating and she preferred to stay by Mom or Dads side most of the time. Even so, it was a fun experience and I wouldn't rule out a future in ag - - she looks pretty comfortable beside that tractor, don't you think?
