New Arrivals and Old Friends

Hello friends!  

I have many new arrivals for you to meet this week. Starting with my new best friend and partner in crime.... 
Shadow!! 
Shadow was found early last week near the farm and he has been hanging out ever since.  He really likes helping with chores and riding in the truck!  He also loves to fetch.  So far no one has claimed him and I may just take him to the vet this week to get him all checked out!

The calf farm also got a couple new neighbors.   Two cows and a bull.  The cattle are the neighbors and he primarily turns them out to keep the bull and cows with no calves away from the rest of the herd just for safety reasons or breeding reasons.

He looks very serious.  I am sure he puts up with nothing in his big woods lot.  

Our next new arrival is another important one!  The boys have been very busy, as I said last week, planting corn.  The regular #2 corn is done and seed corn and beans are in the works, but you can already see the fruits of their labor!  

This was taken early last week, the corn is growing so much already!  

And I saved the best new arrivals for last!  Double D had 6 baby lambs!  5 boys and 1 girl!  Look how cute these boys are!  



Awwwwww


Now for the old friends,  if you look closely you can see two previously introduced friends.  726 is Smores from "An Average Day" fame and 704 is Freckles from "Beware of Buckethead" fame.  They are all grown up and in the weaning pin!  The weaning pin is full if can't tell.  


That is about it for this week, just keeping up.  We are actually short calves due to the busy spring calving season being over so life is pretty nice right now complete with pretty nice weather!  


Calf Count: 69 


Enjoy your week!
