But only for the feet.
In the heat cattle will stand in one area and urinate then stomp their feet until they have made a puddle for their feet.
went one better and have them a wee pool of water.
They seemed to like it!
Sheila finally got her big body outside and dug her wallow. Once she had got that sorted she lay out there in the water all day and did not come into the barn last night.
The three little pigs live in their wallow. It is getting deep too, I cannot tell them apart anymore they are so covered in dried and wet mud.
It is very hard to creep up on a pig. Their ears followed my progress.
A Frenchman was my Dairy Maid yesterday.
And that job includes feeding little Talia. Talia is a vigorous little calf for being early. She drinks very well – I did not need to train her to the bottle at all. She latches on like a pro.
Today the crew and I go across to help Jake get his vegetables ready for the farmers market. Our contribution this week is sunflowers which we will go out and pick shortly.
But first the milking and feeding of everyone all over again.
I hope you have a good day
Love celi

The piggies are getting so big! Tell everyone on the farm hello. I’m glad everything is going well
Every day brings new experiences and todays were great! c
I had absolutely no idea that cows did that – it’s a pretty darn smart thing to do. I’m just happy that people don’t do it!! ; o )
Yes. That would be unfortunate while waiting in the check out line!. c
GOOD ONE Cecilia!!! ; o )
Those 3 piggies all in a row in their matching color wallow is truly a calendar worthy photo! Love it! Our youngest son, Shelby works on a lavendar farm here and only has one thing to work with all day…although it smells lovely I think he would love the diversity of the Farmy for a change. Maybe you’ll see him one of these days! 🙂 And oh yes, I’m sure glad too that people don’t pee in their shoes when they’re over heated! Hah!
Shelby is welcome!! Maybe next year!.. c
I thought of you today, Celi! I gave some private tours to a pair of Kiwis who had come to the US for a visit. They were a lovely couple.
We are all lovely – there is a RULE!! c
I believe it.
Clean, feed, sleep, repeat. Then throw in a little fun and diversion every now and then. Sounds like everything is humming along. Glad to hear. Enjoyable to read about and your animals all look so strong and healthy. Thank you.
Sunflower photos…….PLEASE!!!!! They are so cheerful. Have fun at market.
I love the three piggies in the mud hole. – They look like heavy hippopotamuses to me…. Hehe.
