Calves Week 9

Chuck & Tbone waiting for their bottles in the morning

Weaning is going great!! Much better than I expected.  This past week the boys received 1/2 bottle, 1 quart in the morning and then 1/2 bottle, 1 quart in the evening.  After they finish eating there bottles they get to eat grain.

Chuck is eating almost all of what we give him.  Tbone is not eating as much but that is expected because we really believe he is 1 week younger than Chuck.

They spend most of their day out in the pasture now.  If they aren't grazing on the grass they are relaxing laying in the shade.  I think they finally figured out that its nicer to be outside then to be laying in the barn all day, so now I don't need to lock them out of the barn anymore.

They also are drinking lots of water, which is great.  It's a true sign that they are ready to weaned and of course it's great because it has been so HOT here.

Here are some other cute pics of them.
