CattleIn the Fields

#76 Blackie And Rock

Now that we exposed the culprit that has been picking on the newborns, we are watching out for him. We are trying to isolate the new mothers, if not before they give birth but as soon as possible after birth to keep our little troublemaker, KAOS, from pestering the new mom or baby.

When we got closer we saw that indeed Blackie had a baby. We got KAOS segregated along with the rest of the main herd from the new family and locked the gate to the 6 acre field so Blackie and her new baby had time to chill out and bond without interruption.
