Two new calves born in the snow this morning. Both are doing well. The cows don't mind the cold at all and the calves don't care much after they have been dried off once and get their own furnace going. I put the newest one in the barn for awhile to dry off, then back outside in the 'nursery' corral. The calves stay about five to seven days in the nursery to make sure they are functioning well and eating enough. Highland are sturdy and rarely have any troubles, but you should still keep track of them. We as humans have the responsibility to take care of them and learn to notice anything out of the ordinary.
I wonder when the nice warm weather will get here?
