New born

Failed dreadfully with my photos today. Didn't have chance to take many and what I did I blurred - don't know why. Then later in the day had an eye test which involved drops being put in my eyes resulting in blurred vision for a number of hours.

Any way we had a caesarean on a cow today that we had implanted a pure British Blue embryo into in February 2015. This is the bull calf that was born. He is approx 5 minuets old and already he is trying extremely hard to get on his feet. This always amazes me has to how much quicker they are than humans. This is also a bit blurred but he was struggling so much and was moving all over the place.
An exciting day on your farm today! You're right, it's amazing how quickly newborn animals are up on their feet.

Hope your eyes clear soon. It must be a weird feeling when everything is blurry.

What a neat shot to post - I've already learned two new things today - one how long it takes for a calf to be born and then how quickly they adapt. Wow!

@ingrid_marianna @milaniet @bkbinthecity @anniesue @julienne1 @snowy @elisasaeter @hermann @barneyone @gijsje @deborah63 @flowerfairyann Thank you all for your kind comments. No matter how many times you see the birth of calves it is always amazing. They are quite funny to watch in their attempt to get on their feet and it is amazing the bumps and bangs they take during this period. Milanie the gestation period for a cow is very similar to a human, approx 9 months. Animals have to be quick to get on their feet when born outside because there is always something that will take advantage of the weaker ones, such as Jackdaws, badgers and foxes in this country.
