We have a beef cow/calf operation, so the calves stay with the cows for about 8 months. I understand it's different in dairy and I'm not criticizing, don't get me wrong. Business is business. Our busy time for calving starts in about a month here in Kansas.<br />Thanks for sharing all the info and pics.Window On The Prairiehttp://windowontheprairie.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749684475391974742.post-11287717291633052492012-01-10T16:13:53.821-05:002012-01-10T16:13:53.821-05:00Just fascinating!

I had to get out in the real world to find most people don't even know what a heifer is or when she becomes a cow; or even the difference between a bull and a steer.<br /><br />As much work as dairy farming is, I do miss a lot of it.Leeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655189620056032790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749684475391974742.post-74543115703168365972012-01-08T08:58:35.160-05:002012-01-08T08:58:35.160-05:00Wow Alica you are busy I remember doing all that. ...Wow Alica you are busy I remember doing all that. I especially liked being covered in sweet sticky milk replacer and I swear the little calf butting and laughing at me at the same time. You are a very good teacher of farm life.

It doesn't go to waste and it's good for the calves!Teresahttp://edenhills.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749684475391974742.post-91248691917028285702012-01-07T20:01:59.213-05:002012-01-07T20:01:59.213-05:00My sister lives on a dairy and I know how much you...My sister lives on a dairy and I know how much you have to watch these little buggers.
