Here on the ranch I classify all my female Bovine critters by age. There are the:<br />n<br />nCows – three years old and up<br />nTwo- year olds- self explanatory<br />nYearlings- In their first year, self explanatory too<br />nCalves- first year of life<br />n<br />nThe reason I bring this up is it's funny how my viewpoint changes. The two-year old having a calf, even though it was premature, shifted my viewpoint. Everything moved up a year. Last years two-year olds are all of a sudden cows in my book, yearlings are two-year olds, since one had a calf, and the calves are now yearlings since I have a new crop of calves coming along. So, instead of a picture of the calves this morning I present a picture of the newly designated yearlings eating their hay as the sun comes up.<br />n<br />n<center><a href='http://www.sarpysam.net/gallery/Yearlings/feed12302005?full=1'><img width='250' height='167' border='0' hspace='5' src='http://www.sarpysam.net/gallery/albums/Yearlings/feed12302005.thumb.jpg' alt='' /></a></center><br />n<br />nHopefully by explaining all this I won't confuse anybody when presenting pictures.<br />n<br />n<b>There are things I can't force.
