Sorry ’bout the fence, but I had Gizmo on the box and getting close enough to shoot through the fence wouldn’t have given my the Whole Calf.  I’ll try to get back there while the newborn are still small, and I’ll bring a range of lenses.

These bad boys are bound for burgers, sad to say.  Such is the fate of this great symbol of America’s Exceptional Plenty.
