Holy Cow

WARNING- viewer discretion is advised with the reading of this post, it contains graphic scenes.

Yesterday we took a drive to a little town called McBain, population not many. My mom is originally from there, she grew up on a dairy farm with her 4 sisters and 1 brother. My uncle Carl now owns and runs the farm and we love to go and visit whenever we can.

It was such a great day yesterday to be outside and enjoy the last day of great weather. My Aunt Donna flew in from Florida to visit for the weekend so it was great to see her again as well.

Abby loved all the different animals, and at this age showed no fear.

Abby face to face with a cow that would rather lick her feet than the block of salt.

I guess it has been a few years since my last visit to McBain, because I would never missed the construction of 2 wind turbines (not sure if this is the correct name for them). In the middle of miles and miles of fields there are 2 HUGE turbines creating alternative energy... go McBain!!

I have been vising the farm for over 28years now, and every time we go there is always something new to see... new barns, new house, different animals, etc etc.

One thing that I have never seen was the birth of a calf. I am always a minute too late, just never good timing. For some of you, you would have no interest in witnessing such a sight, but for me I guess it was something I wanted to see. Well yesterday was my day. We got there at the right time to see the miracle of birth. Not only did I witness it, I helped it along.

Surprisingly I stayed clean and my shoes dry, I think I missed my calling of living on a farm or being a Vet.... maybe not, but it was an exciting visit to say the least.
