weekend farm pictures or where the calves go when they are "teens"

me and rick bringing water to the springer cows (pregnant ones )where we are standing is right next to where our driveway will go.











me trying to convince this cow to stay in the picture with me, didnt really work.








This is down at "the pad"down the road from the main farm (across the street from ricks parents house) there are 42 calves here and all but two (bought from another farm) were raised from birth by rick and I! This is where the caves go after they have been fully weined from milk and constant attention. (they begin to look more like cows than calves here)



they all respond to our voices and a few will come running up to us just to get love.















this is the heffer barn, behind ricks shoulder is the pad, the calves have a big pasture and only get feed (that we harvest all summer from our fields).these guys and the calves from the pad all got out and mixed up this weekend. it was a chore and ricks dad didnt think we could do it but we got them all sorted out and put back in their respective spots. There is 43 hefferrs here. and most of these are all raised by rick and i as well. they also all come when we call.




This is Buffy she is one of the first group of calves that i met when i started to go to the farm and actually help instead of just standing around ackwardly.she is about 3weeks to 1 month in this picture






This is buffy now over a year old lovin the organic feed in the heffer barn
