Happy Families

I found them spread out around the Horse Pond and in the trees by the blue lick barrel this morning at around 0700. 145 was near the barrel, leaning against a tree, still holding the leg up when she can but putting weight on it when she moves. I wasn't able to get a count but all those I saw looked well. I didn't see the calf with the weepy eye.

The bull was doing some courting down by the pond but the lady was not interested. While I was kneeling down taking some photographs I found I was the subject of interest to one of the calves who crept up and gently butted me. It followed me around for a while until mum came out of the gorse to advise me to go away.

I met Norman (and Crystal) shortly after and chatted for a while until the bull decided he was wasting his time with his latest lady and set off for the lick barrel.
