All is well, @montanajoe ! The newest one is now right at 48 hours old and is starting (already!) to jump and run with the other two that are a week old. It has always amazed me how quickly they get up and going, even after all these thousands of calves I've seen born.
The mommas are very watchful and wary. When I walk down that way with the dog they all turn and keep a very close eye on the 'wolf' and they let him know that he is not welcome. I've watched the two female yearlings that are in the same pasture as the babies chase coyotes off twice now. The 'yotes were just down there hunting squirrels, not even anywhere near the babies, but the two yearling heifers charged 'em and made both Wily's take off for a safer haven. Pretty fun to watch!
