Thought for the day

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who as the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. [Theodore Roosevelt]

Cow Discipline

I was just watching my mama cows and their calves.  The cows headed for the watering trough and the three calves stayed down in the pasture playing a kids will do.  About halfway to the trough, one of the mama's turned and bellowed at her calf and the other two joined in.  The calves ignored them, again much as kids will do.  One cow then returned to the calves, separated her calf and began butting it in the direction of the watering trough until it went on its own.  We just think we are different.

Here is that calf about an hour old.
