As the daylight dwindles earlier and earlier each night, I found myself watching the cows in the dark several nights this week.  They have been eating a new brand of cubes that Madison seems to really enjoy so she has been joining me on my nightly patrols more this week.  Each year I see more and more calves being born on the ranch and there are some recurrng traits I must admire.  In this case, its the beautiful pigment around Millie's eyes.  I hear it was a requirement for each bull last year - Elvis has it, TJ has it and Decker had lots of it!  Millie inherited it from Elvis and Alley has it from TJ....maybe all the 2010 babies will!  It just so happens, its the same color as me!!
