Bovine babies grow up fast

They’re not quite babies anymore.

If you were with us back in April you likely caught a glimpse of this cute calf post by Miranda. #Calfwatch14 was in full swing and the CAB staffers who dedicate before and after work hours to caring for their own herds kept quite the busy schedule.

With summer nearly behind us and fall on the horizon, I thought it only right to check in with those bovine babies and see if they’d show off their good side for the camera once again. They didn’t disappoint. What divas!

Like any growing youngin’ Paul’s Nebraska (half) pair preferred to be photographed without mom this time.

Steve’s beauties are still walkin’ on sunshine in Kansas,

As for my gals in Florida, they’re getting by just fine, one summer shower at a time.
