Calves - Week 7

Tbone & Chuck hanging in the pasture

I am so happy to say that both of the calves are doing wonderful!!!  They have adjusted well with moving into the big pasture with the goats.

They still like to stay in the barn, so as long as the weather is good for the day I lock them all out of the barn.  They have plenty of fresh water outside and also other areas where they can find shade to cool off.

Since we didn't know the boys exact age when we got them we are just  guessing they were only 1 week old when we got them.  So know they are 8 weeks old and are eating great.  They both love their bottles and they are eating more grain at each feeding. They have also started drinking water which is a good sign that they are ready to start to wean.

Tbone finally looking good after putting some weight on

Chuck looking good, still needs more meat on his ribs

Tbone & Chuck are enjoying running in the pasture and just eating all the grass.

Check back next week. We are going to start weaning them from their bottles.
