Texas style photography and words
My brother n law moved these heifers back next door to us.
I figured it was because they were about to calf and it looks like I was right.
The first one had a calf a week ago and another had one this past Sunday I have not gotten pics of that one yet.
I hope to get more pics soon in the mud using my rubber boots to tromp across the pasture lol.
Everyone, please remember that most pets do not like fireworks. Many run away from home if left outside during the fireworks. Bring the pets in so they have the security.
Daisy does not seem bothered by them but then again she stays in the house.
Have a safe and Happy Fourth of July.
Cadilac has grown a lot since our daughter and her husband bought her. She losing her baby face.
She will be 1 – year old next month. She seems so small standing next to Scamper the other Minature Hereford but Scamper is almost 2.
I have a soft spot in my heart for cows they are my favorite farm animal. I love to talk to the cows, pet them and feed them clover.
Daisy likes to charge the cows next door to us when they are the fence then she kisses them on their noses lol. They just stand there they are not scared of her.
On Wednesday I was over at the little farm and decided to try and get a few pictures. That was when Cadilac gave me this look. She was thinking ” I was just chewing my cud and minding my own business and here you come to take more pictures. ”
Have a great Memorial weekend everyone do a few projects and a lot of relaxing.
I saw this and I cracked up because I can just see our daughter’s chickens doing this very thing.
Yesterday our daughter Jeanelle her 11-month-old baby Adrian and I took off on a road trip to Waco, Texas.
We were on a mission to pick up Nigerian Dairy Goat # 1 of 3 that our daughter and son in law have already bought for their little farm.
I do believe that goat #2 and #3 will be picked up later this week. That will be another road trip in a different direction.
While at the farm our daughter was able to find out a bunch of information about raising dairy goats. She had been researching this for a good while but someone in the business can give you information and advice you may not find elsewhere.
She even got to taste goat milk and goat milk ice cream. She said they both were very good. She said the milk is a little bit thicker than whole milk but had no after taste. We learned that what you feed them is what determines the taste.
I was busy occupying Adrian which can be somewhat of a challenge sometimes he was trying to get down and crawl around and I knew I had to hold him. He did very well on the 3-hour trip there and 3-hour trip back and even managed to take 3 naps because he was bored.
The baby goats name is Clover she is 8 weeks old and she is a triplet and was the smallest one. All they goats they are getting will be registered.
Andrew named her when he saw her. The girls will name the other two goats and no telling what they will come up with.
She cried in the back of the suburban for 30 minutes straight because she missed her family, home, and security. After that, she settled down and would make a few peeps but she was not bad at all. She sure was glad to get out of the dog kennel when we got back. She is very sweet and did eat out of all the kid’s hands which they all loved.
Here are a few pictures I was able to get but I hope I can get some better ones as she settles down a little bit this was right after she got out of the kennel.
Here at home, my husband had Andrew, Karina, and Sophia for the day. They made chocolate chip cookies, played fetch with Daisy, played outside, colored pictures of farm animals and watched some tv. This gave them some special Pappy time.
This calves eyes and eye lashes pretty much say it all.
