Busy turkeys, Busy cows, means Busy Rancher
Busy turkeys, Busy cows, means Busy Rancher:
While the calves are being born, the turkey’s are getting down to business if you know what I mean. First I’ll show you the turkeys. This guy was strutting his stuff!
After hanging out with these feathery creatures, we traveled over to see this lady give birth. It was a little messy and she’s a wild one I hear. I stayed back and watched the whole thing from afar. I’ll spare you the graphic shots and just share the sweet ones.
Notice her eyes. She watched me the entire time. I couldn’t take my eyes off of them either. The first 10 seconds he was on the ground he didn’t take a breath. Neither did me or Patrick.
He is just minutes old and she is licking him not only for cleaning, but to stimulate him to get up and suckle. I was ooohing and awing and she looked right at me and mooed really loudly. She wanted me to leave.
I stayed long enough to watch him stand and look for the pocket (teat). Then I left them alone to bond.
Oh my gosh! They are all awesome photos, but that last one is freakin amazing!
