Too Steep To Sleep

It's calving season now here on the 4R's.  We've had about 20 calves born so far.  We start calving a little later than most in our area.  We try to calve more in sync with nature so we can decrease the inputs needed to maintain the cows.  We keep too many to go to year round grazing so we still depend on hay in the winter.  The calves enjoy this fresh bedding that J puts out daily.

 This one picked a pretty steep spot to try to take a nap.

 Every time he tried to lay his head back he would start to flip over and slip down the hill.

 Mom even had to come check to make sure he was ok.

 He must have been very sleepy because he kept trying to get comfortable.

 One last big flip,

 and 3...2...1....

 he's down for the count.

I guess he finally got situated.
