A mother's love

This cow gave birth to two calves this morning - one male, one female. Here she is still in the process of cleaning them off and they are in the process of trying to get a drink. They are very strong, up on their feet and following her in a very short time.

I had a friend staying with me for the weekend and she got a lot of pleasure out of watching this process and sending photos to her family. We spent a lot of time catching up and reminiscing, we've been friends for 35 years. Hard to believe.
