The Cows Came Home!!
Rico
Stewart (Left) and JC
CC and Rico
He loves attention
Meat birds are big and still eating!
We welcomed home the girls yesterday....
Eleanore (Black and white) and Elsa
They are very calm and A LOT LESS vocal than the boys!!
They settled right in and Eleanore seems to be the friendliest so far! We have done lots of hand feeding and scratching of the boys and they are warming up to us daily. Scott was able to brush out a couple of them.

Jimmy Stewart
Acelia and I have decided we would name any incoming animals after famous Hollywood actors/actresses. When the cows came yesterday though David had already named the two boys Rico and JC......
So Acelia and I have named the rest of the herd. This little guy is Jimmy Stewart!
Thank goodness for my iPod and head phones last night!! Rico and JC moo'd all night!! I plugged in and listened to Netflix shows all night to drown them out!!
Yesterday when we brought Rico and JC home they were good boys. They were a little scared but came out of the trailer fine and entered their stalls like good cows, and calmed right down. By the end of the evening, David was sitting in the stall talking to them and petting them. Jimmy Stewart on the other hand......
No so cooperative!
He was throwing a tantrum....
Having a fit.....
Just being a little buggar! Good thing he's cute, and we love him!!
He is settled in with his new brothers, and doing very well!!
On Your Mark..Get Set....GO!
So here's the deal.....all these kido's are running.......
They are running toward.....
....these calves...
...with blue ribbons tied to their tails....
...that they need to take off....
See that little girl in the back ground hugging the cows head?
I guess hind sight is 20/20......
Fall is in the air
Fall is in the air here, and you can see it in the horses actions in the field. They are frisky, running, jumping, kicking, rolling, and just energetic in general.
Poor Zip! He's just wanting to take his mid-day nap! Fancy is wanting to play though.
After a couple of attempts to get Zip up and running around, she gives up, and Zip is free to take a snooze....
Honey has had enough of Fancy's antics, and decides to just get up!
Just cracks me up, these three!! Zip just ignores Fancy, Honey is disgusted with her, and as far as Fancy is concerned......
Life is good!!
