Four little Friesian calves came home with us from the last auction! One heifer (named Dolly) and three bull calves.
They obligingly drank their bottles on arrival and the first morning and then Cules decided to switch them to buckets and they gracefully slurped it up without too much hassle! They each stand by their buckets four times a day and happily drink their milk,we couldn't believe how easily they switched over to drinking from buckets...
oh, you just keep adding more adorable critters to your farm! sweet!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet...I remember baby calves from my childhood..they were so much fun. You are getting quite a collection of animals there! ;D
ReplyDeleteSo cute. Glad they changed to the buckets so easily. Diane
ReplyDeleteQuick little thing, and cute, too. Glad they took to the bucket so easily.
ReplyDeleteI know Friesian horses, but never heard of Friesian cattle before. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky they are cooperating. Maybe these Friesian cattle are smarter than the average bovine.
ReplyDeleteHow cute and smart too with the change to buckets.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's so cute! I love their wildly clumsy legs. How darling!
ReplyDeleteIt is a good thing they did...will save a lot of time and they will grow even faster. Sure are cute...
ReplyDeleteHi, found your blog through Texwisgirl. Your little fresian calf is so cute. How good is that how they took to drinking out of buckets. I have become your lastest follower. Hope that's ok.
ReplyDeletecame by to visit from Texwisgirl..what a cutie....
ReplyDeleteA cutie! I always love having a calf around.
ReplyDeleteHi again, it's great this being able to get to know different people from all over the work. I lived in Rhodesia in early 1970's, I was only 10 then. I remember driving through to Durban at one point. It's a beautiful part of the world.
ReplyDeleteAmazing what critters will do when they are hungry!
