Update on the Twin Calves...

A week or so ago, I told about how I had a bottle baby,we had a cow that had twins. Well, we kept him up and bottle fed him for about 4 days, and then thought we would try to get the mama cow to take him back. Thankfully, it worked! She accepted him right back when we put them up in the barn, and I guess she figured she couldn't get away from him, so she let him start nursing. We are going to keep them up for awhile to ensure that she won't run off and leave him when we turn them back out, or to at least make sure he is strong enough to keep up with her if she does! I went to the barn this morning to feed them and took some pictures. We are still supplementing the bull calf with a bottle, but he is doing great. The heifer calf won't get near us, but the little bull, runs right up looking for that bottle....here he is trying to nurse on my fingers........

He figured out real quick that wasn't what he was looking for and ran back to mama and sis......the mama cow was busy eating, but she stopped occaisionally to look and swing her head at me, she wasn't too thrilled that I was there, LOL..............

Before I left, I snapped some pictures of the rest of our herd...............

One of our newest calves very curious about what I was doing......

A couple more of the girls.......

Some of the younger cows checking me out........

On my way back home, I encountered a flock of Guineas crossing the road. By the time of got my camera, they had already crossed and were moving quick, but I manged to snap a picture............several had turned to look at me I guess they were thinking about what I was gonna do next, LOL....

Hope everyone has a great day!
