Tasked with naming three quintessential sounds of springtime?

And barnyards across the land begin to bustle when the days grow longer, meaning tiny baas and bleats and chirps and moos can be heard by anyone standing nearby.
And if you happen to find yourself standing in the vicinity of the Animal Center of Underwood Family Farms in Moorpark in March or April, you may encounter some of those wonderful sounds, or at least the sweet sight of a coterie of cute critters.
For springtime always brings a bundle of new babies to the agricultural center, and those awww-some arrivals have just begun.
