Calving

We have such a big herd that our calving season lasts for a few months. :) We finally finished calving Tuesday, when both remaining cows calved, one heifer and one bull. So now we have 12 heifers and 3 bulls steers running around out there. Just in time, since we're hoping to get them to summer pasture this weekend.

Both girls love helping Rodney chore. He uses the pickup to feed the cows and they like to stand on the seat to look out the window. For both girls, one of their first words were "moo".






There's been a few calves that the girls have been able to pet. Hannah asks to still pet 'em, but they're a little too fast to catch nowadays! She has been able to pet the yearlings, but she's been feeding them hay during the day and they are used to her now (they're in a separate pen).
