Just a post about life as we know it. During the fall after we’ve weaned we feed the calves a protein supplement called cake. We have a siren on the pickup we use to call them to the feed. This day we were moving the calves to fresh feed. The calves follow the caker fairly well, but if Jason’s around he follows along behind to keep them moving and gather the strays. Pulling the solar panel behind the horse trailer (as you can see in the picture below) isn’t a problem unless I get stuck climbing a hill and have to back out. Then things get a little tricky.
We passed this cool tree on our move. It’s amazing that it is still living after the beating it takes every year.
This is Spark Plug and Piston behind her. They are our bucket calves and we just put them in with the other calves. If they get separated from one another they ball as if they’ve lost their mother. They’re quite the pair. Spark Plug was a twin and barely 50 lbs when she was born. We didn’t think she’d live. We’ll be sad to see them ship in a couple weeks.
