They have become the best part of my day. 30 years ago when I was a young mother of two little boys of my own, I raised 50 bottles calves every year to supplement our farming income and afford me the pleasure of being a stay at home mother. I have not raised calves for many years until we had our orphan twin calf last March. I am enjoying the experience.<br /><br />Many thanks for all of your wonderful comments.<br />LuAnn in Oregon<br />LuAnn Kessihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452504557094310816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713159193159889633.post-86245422587897567772017-07-18T05:38:17.300-07:002017-07-18T05:38:17.300-07:00Hi Farm Quilter,

Once they are weaned in November, they will be put in with the rest of the weaned calves and become part of our herd of yearlings next year. That puts some physical distance between us and gives me time to become unattached. I will help the cowboy feed them all through this coming winter so I will see them every day, but they will be mixed in with the herd and become real cattle as it should be.<br /><br />Many thanks for thinking of me and for your very sweet comments,<br /><br />LuAnn KessiLuAnn Kessihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452504557094310816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713159193159889633.post-2642588800647935492017-07-18T04:31:07.653-07:002017-07-18T04:31:07.653-07:00LuAnn, I adore the photos of your farm. :) Your b...LuAnn, I adore the photos of your farm. :) Your barn is gorgeous and how wonderful to have all the fresh air and company of those two bottle babies.
