Your pictures are great and what healthy looking animals....amazing, cows raised on grass...what a novel idea (pun intended).<br />I wanted to join 4-H but they didn't have it in the city. I was a girl torn by spending Summers in the country and the rest of the year in the city...what a tangled web! Again...I don't like to be repetitive but STAY WARM!

They are so carefree and have a zest for life. Don't you love how some cows are "baby-sitters" and always have the calves clustered around them while the rest of the herd goes off to graze?Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296050573667055406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-53690880569425600162013-01-23T09:52:21.881-06:002013-01-23T09:52:21.881-06:00Your blog is so interesting....love the old pictur...Your blog is so interesting....love the old pictures of the cattle, they look so healthy, sweet little calf.......Such memories, many kids today know nothing of growing up on a farm, sure glad I did.......enjoyed seeing the before and after shots of the pasture.....Blessings Francine.Primitive Starshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02525399769247105105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-45082685456892552222013-01-23T09:39:49.640-06:002013-01-23T09:39:49.640-06:00It's still bad enough to lose a calf:( I admi...It's still bad enough to lose a calf:( I admire your mother's persistence with lifting the cow up, that must have been quite a chore. I have a friend who raises Herefords. If the cow doesn't have a successful birth, she is shipped. <br />Our second oldest sheep has to be lifted to her feet each day. She is arthritic I guess and can't get herself to her feet, but can walk once she gets up. I refuse to ship her and have been putting off calling in the vet.
