Hi Sonny,
It's a good thing there's a fence between you and the critters or they'd be 
right up close and licking the lens! ;-) Even though I did some of my 
growing up on the farm I never related to how curious calves can be and how 
close they'll come providing you are down at their level.

When I shot the book on cowboys, "Men of the Saddle." one day I'm shooting 
away looking through the R camera and the calf was walking toward me, so I 
thought "oh this is kind of neat I'll keep focusing and shooting."

That was until he eventually was right in my face so to speak and licked the 
lens before I realized he'd come as close as he was. I jumped and that 
spooked the heck out of him and off he went on the run.

I on the other hand had a gooey lens to clean. So a good thing you had a 
fence for protection. :-)

Nice shot. :-) Future steaks on the hoof! ;-)
