....and the nursery is ready.
Yes we have the calf pen ready for new babies. It is amazing how many things were needed before really young calves can be brought home. They need a safe place to play. They need plenty of special food. They need shade to sleep. (kind of sounds like people babies doesn't it?)
Tomorrow will be "cattle auction day" again. This time I hope it will not be a repeat of last time. (my fanny can't take another 5 hours of bench pressing) The goal is to purchase 10 really little calves and start them off on calf pellets. Wish me luck!
Things I didn't know little bitty calves needed:
1) a mineral block just like the big girls
2) special feed
3) a large safe play area (ours is fenced so they can't get out and nothing can get in; we think)
