It's spring calving, or birthing, season at Big Creek cattle ranch on the Colorado border, near the towns of Riverside and Encampment, in Carbon County, Wyoming.

She would immediately be surrounded by other cattle, who formed a protective ring around her (and hiding her from intrusive photography) during the rest of the birth
