Farm Happenings

Several things have occurred on the farm the past couple of weeks. 
We have 4 new baby calves.

New Babies

 This little one is marked so uniquely.  He has the white streak on his shoulder and it continues down his leg for one totally white leg.

A Trip to the Vet

One of our heifers had trouble calving so we loaded her into the trailer and she went to the vet.  Luckily, Mel got her there in time and the bull calf was fine.  The vet kept them overnight just to make sure.  He called the next morning and told Mel the calf was doing great!  In fact it was running and bucking.

He is so cute!

He was  a little reluctant and needed some "encouragement".

Gardening Time Again!

The seeds and plants are purchased.

The ground is tilled.

Onion plants and bulbs as well as spinach and radish seeds are planted.

Horses and chickens are doing well.

The chickens enjoy eating cat food.

We have moved the chickens outside now that the weather is warmer.
