Earth Day Bison Calves

Well, just in time for Earth Day, we spotted our first two calves of the year Friday night on the ranch.

It’s an amazing thing.

You’re looking and watching day after day after day after day — hoping and wishing for that first calf — nothing for days — and then one moment you see one.

It’s a euphoric excitement, and while you think you’d get used to it, it seems to get more powerful each year.

Something about spending so much time with these animals — it feels more magical than ever.

Based on the recent weather, it looks like spring will arrive here on the ranch sometime in August — but in the meantime, the first calves have arrived, and there’s magic in the air.

Here’s to newborn bison calves, and to nature.

Happy Spring.

Happy Earth Day.
