little trouble maker already!



well she's healthy nursing and doing great! - BUT ... She did give us a bit of a fright... we got home from pouring wine all day today and she and momma where outside the fence but luckily near by the pasture... so we put her back and kept and eye out - doing a little training to the hot fence... we thought we'd made progress so we put here in the cow shed in a nice bed of straw and watched her for a bit and then figured she was down for the evening (its about 9pm at this point and I've still got work to do and have been at a wine event all day... so went up to my desk and Brian went out to check about 15 min later ... he came back in and said the baby was missing!! and we hear coyotes!! NOT good so we went out with flash lights tromping all over nothing... abotu 15 min in of tromping all over hell and gone hearts racing we decided to let momma out to see if perhaps she could help find baby... momma called a bunch and then jsut stood near by the pasture not really making any noise - we keep searching ... then I look over at momma and think humm why is she so stock still I go over and sure enough 12 feet from the fence hidden in the tall grass right where we had walked several times with our lights right under mommas nose was the little trouble maker!! -- whew!! so we put them back in the shed and put a gate to lock them in for overnight... we'll let her out in the morning when we can keep a close eye and do a bit more training on the fence.... sleep well little heifer...
