Yesterday as we headed out to town, Sonny and I saw this calf belonging to a neighboring farm and just had to stop to take a pic. Hours later when we drove back by he was still eating, but this time he was on the outside.

We wouldn’t mind getting a couple of calf’s sometime. We still have to use this summer putting up acres and acres of fencing and other cow accessories.
oh ok…lol….because that feeder was designed to hold the hay in the middle, while the cattle encircle it. But of course you already knew that. And I reckon that calf slipped thru the cracks and YES “ITS MINE, ALL MINE” lol
Heh. That’s great, and funny to see as I was just today working at a farm down the road with cows and sheep and was putting up mesh wiring along the top half of a similar feeder. Both the sheep and some of the smaller cows have been slipping through the opening and proclaiming all the hay theirs. Troublesome!
We are on an adventure learning the ropes of starting a small farm, being self-sufficient and living in a 100 percent off-the-grid solar powered home. We'll share the ups and downs of raising chickens, pigs, growing a garden, and life in general, all with a twist of humor thrown in for good measure.
are you saying you have a calf now?
Unfortunately no. He belongs to a neighboring farm down the road. When I titled this I meant that he was hogging all the hay.

We had to do a double take when we first saw him. Glad I had my cell phone and snapped a pic of it.
