My son the midwife

My son Kevin went up to visit the farm that he used to work at while we were in Dayton visiting my Mother.
I think he missed all the animals to tell the truth and below are some of the pictures he took.
The cows in the pictures are ones that Kevin delivered himself.

The sweet faced calf below is about 6 months old and weighs about 300 lbs.



These two lying together are twins, but obviously not identical. Each weighed about 50-75 lbs at birth. They are now 2 months old and weight about 150lb.



Here are some of the mama's cows that Kevin helped bring into the world. They weigh about 1500 lbs now and are ready to have babies of their own.

After the babies are born, they only nurse with their Mama for a day or so, then Kevin would bottle feed them for another 3 months. He grew quite attached to his baby cows.

My husband and I went to visit my Mom last week in Dayton Ohio and saw so many beautiful trees and flowering bushes already in bloom. When we left Illinois every tree was in the early budding phase but nothing had actually bloomed yet.
These flowering crab trees are at the entrance of my Mom's condo complex and they are just so beautiful every year.
