We begin each day with these beauties...

Our first stop in the morning,
feeding the cow and calf pairs...
They eat 1200 lbs of hay each day...
We are enjoying a sunny and dry autumn
here in Western Oregon...
These are two of my favorite heifer calves...
Queenie and Ruby Jean
They are a chip off the old block!
They look just like their daddy, Fernando...

We feed in 5 different locations each morning.
It is a wonderful way to begin the day,
surrounded by such beautiful livestock.

First off, Fernando is a beauty! He would show in a halter class! HA I can see where you would enjoy your mornings feeding. I used to have my coffee pot ready to take to the barn each a.m. Plug in; then feed the horses, then pick up stalls, grab a cup of coffee and sit on the step watching them munch on their hay after eating their grain. So quiet and serene...I loved that time...now I just watch my two girls (dogs!) go pee and poop in the a.m.! HA But we do get to walk twice a day...just not the same as life on the farm!
Yes Robbie....simple pleasures are the best and what we will remember the most.

Your girls and the calves are definitely a wonderful way to start each day!! Were there 4 videos?? I could only get the first one to play. I love my time in the barn feeding my horses...only 3 of them but there is just something about being with my horses that brings me the same kind of peace as you get with all your cattle and goats.
I never realized how much hay they eat each day, it’s mind boggling thinking about having to grow, cut and store that much hay. I love reading your posts and learning about farming, it makes me stop and appreciate all the hard work that is done in the background.
Yes, I uploaded 4 videos but only the first one is playing. I have been having trouble with my Smilebox slideshow maker for months now. I need to look around for something else more reliable.

So glad you are enjoying the blog Jackie.
My Best To You,
