Things out here
are always changing.
We have gained a
few new animals over the past weekend.
7 to be exact
My dad picked up
the cutest Holstein calf 2 years ago.
He was at an
auction on a dreary rainy day
and this little
calf sold for next to nothing so he picked it up for me.
We loved on her
for the first year but he took her back to AI (artificial inseminate) her.
We ran different
cattle in the pastures last year but this past weekend he brought her back.
This is her….
Wow she has
grown!!!
I bet you can’t
guess her name! (Thanks dad)
My 4 year old
cowgirl calls her “Suzie Cow”.
Luckily it isn’t
spelled like my name (Suzi).
I guess it was
easier to give her a name then a number
:/ ?
She went down in
the trailer on the trip here. It was SO
HARD to get her out and up!
Needless to say we
had to use a tow strap and a 4-wheeler to pull her out of the trailer.
It was quite the ordeal!
It was quite the ordeal!
(I won’t go into
much detail; I don’t need PETA hijacking my blog! Ha Ha)
But she is now
doing great!!!!
Dad also brought
up her calf. Isn’t she adorable!
Did you see her
ear tag???
Chuck……Yep that’s
my dad’s name.
So this cute
little lady is named Chuck!
We tried to give
her a different name
but when her tag
says Chuck you just have to go with it!
Since she is a
Holstein she is a nurse cow for us!!!
She currently has
3 calves on her.
Their mommas were
unable to provide enough milk for them.
They are all sweet
little calve but I do have a favorite…shhhh
Isn’t he cute?
He is my favorite
because he matched my little redheads! :)
Oh and we also
have 2 little pigs Dad dropped off.
They are unnamed;
I’m thinking Sausage and Pork Chop sound good tho! ;)

Those milk cows are priceless! We have a Jersey and she has raised many an orphan!
ReplyDeleteSausage and Pork Chop! I die! lol
ReplyDeleteLove them all!! :) We used to raise bottle calves when I was in high school and I sure miss those babies! Yours are too sweet! We also showed pigs and we always had one named Sausage or Bacon!! :)
ReplyDeleteAww, calves are so cute. But then they grow up and aren't so cute anymore. I think sausage and pork chop are great names! Pigs are one of my favorites :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was growing up we had 3 pigs...they all looked the same so we couldn't tell them apart. Their names were "Smell", "The", and "Bacon"! So I think Sausage and Pork Chop sound like great names! hahaha. And you're not a real rancher until you have to pull a cow out of a trailer with a tow strap! If they would just cooperate!
