Sad day on the hill

We have had a tough lesson in life this morning at the farm. Fancy delivered her calf last night. The long wait is over and the outcome wasn't what we wanted. It was a heifer, but she was dead. Nature teaches us an awful lot, but sometimes the lessons are a lot harder to take. The good in the whole situation is that Fancy is okay, and will head up to the neighbors shortly to begin her life as a milk cow. The rest of us will try to have a good weekend.
