    Poor things! But I suppose hay is a good reward for getting tossed in the gusts!

    Such an attentive following! Ah, the memories of haying cattle when visiting the family ranch…

    Angela ~ have no fear, those calves are having a ball ~ we call it the “scampede” (scamper + stampede = scampede) which is what these frolicking calves do nightly regardless of weather!

    It’s a fabulous picture. The tones are great.The plant in the foreground is a nice desert and dust feel.

    Haha, that calf in the front looks a little out of control and happy! This is a beautiful picture as well Shreve. Love the tones.

    i love the little one in front — it looks like the wind is pushing him/her along and she’s just saying, “weeeeeee!”

    whoa – what an image! thanks for the clarification of “scampede” – they do look focused. I’ve also been reading a shepherdess blog and she has video of lambs spontaneously bouncing. I guess all little baby critters have cute antics as they learn everything! That’s what makes this time of year so grand.

    I love how you never see a cow gallop or canter or whatever they do… it’s usually just a lazy trot. In this picture, the calf in the front is doing a crazy combination of everything that ever exited. Only you could get this shot! Haha

    I agree with Lisa, before I looked at the comments all I could think of was Wheeeeeee

    Beautiful photograph Shreve. Being down here in Denver, we get some of the same winds. I can taste the grit, feel my hair whipping, and smell those cows. Thanks. Surely you have been approached about doing a professional show?

    when I saw this pic, I thought of a gentle tornado blowing cows around and that music from Wizard of Oz started running through my head…
