Poor babies are born in the wet and cold! I always thought nature was a bit cruel there. ❤

I worked for a cattle ranch in Montana, years ago. Mind you, I did the administrative stuff, but loved seeing the calving. It was a unique experience for a city girl. 😀

I grew up a city girl too and then transplanted to rural Iowa 🙂

Oh, fun! I learned so much about black angus cattle. It was really an interesting experience. My farming and ranch background really helped me when I did accounting. That’s like another life ago now. 🤣❤️
