I won't say that it is ever easy, but I will say that it is the purpose for which they are raised. We do love our cows and they get the very, very best of love and care that they could ever get and I'm thankful that you see that! I appreciate your comment. ~ Dori ~Dori at The Red Feedsackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09600940689338767875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323174088524237837.post-25689492253014404492013-06-10T05:42:47.091-05:002013-06-10T05:42:47.091-05:00Beautiful pictures.

One thing: I don't know how you can part with your animals (they're beef cattle, yes?) once you get attached to them. I'm a vegetarian, but I'm grateful for family farms like yours, where the animals are well cared for and loved. If I ate meat, I would buy my beef from you.Claudianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323174088524237837.post-49228677500326795542013-06-08T20:13:17.155-05:002013-06-08T20:13:17.155-05:00Michelle - oh if you only knew.

We had one born this week that we had to have the assitance of the Vet and I worried about the little guy terribly. My husband turned the Momma and the calf (Walter) out today and everything is fine; but I was watching them like a hawk! :-) Thanks for reading and commenting! ~ Dori ~Dori at The Red Feedsackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09600940689338767875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323174088524237837.post-53168960387982563292013-06-08T19:53:31.958-05:002013-06-08T19:53:31.958-05:00What a great post.

So sorry for MayBelle and the calf that she lost. How sweet it was that she turned to you for comfort. I'm sure I would be the same way you are about the calves. My husband always teases me that I treat our dog like one of our children. I can't imagine what I would be like with a bunch of calves.

They are the sweetest things. We have a calf just born the other night (with the assistance of the Vet) and because of a rough start we have him and his Momma in the pen. We've been in and out of the pen and so the calf, Walter, has bonded with us and we get to just pet and hug on him all we want and its really sweet! Luckily the Momma is very accepting of us in there - I think she knows she's alive because we called for help for her! :-)Dori at The Red Feedsackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09600940689338767875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323174088524237837.post-91652324048179541092013-06-08T07:27:44.081-05:002013-06-08T07:27:44.081-05:00Deb, so glad your flooring came in.

She's had a rough time of it! But the reward is that now the calves seek her out to play... they get in a quick nose rub, and bucking run and play before their Momma bellows out a warning and they go back to her! She's a good do though and she seems understand!

One time when visiting my husband's family farm I got to see a just born calf at a safe distance from the protective mom. SO precious.
