Cattle

Catching a Few Rays

A Black Angus calf is sunning as the rays hit inside the barn door.It was between showers, when I was feeding the animals in the show barn one morning. The three calves had been huddled along the cement wall of the barn, simply enjoying the sunshine.

When the calves saw that the manger was full of hay, two of them got up and headed over for breakfast. This lazy calf was too drowsy to bother. She stayed sprawled out with her head resting on the bottom metal rung of the gate taking in all the warming sun she could.

Don’t worry, she finally woke up enough to mosey over for some hay before the rest of the critters cleaned it all up, and she was able to nurse right after that.
