Ok, so here is the pic from when the little ones were visiting the cow shed over the weekend. Pig Pig is standing up and Pig is laying down. The little ones would not leave her alone and the look on her face said it all....."I ain't allowed in the barn and now I gotta baby sit too!!!???
The cows were enjoying some face time also getting to know the little ones. The smallest is about 8 lbs. and the largest is probably a 10-11. I have been feeding the momma some silage hay to supplement her food she is getting from the pasture. I also take treats to them when I can. Tonight they all had the leftover celery stalks and leaves from supper. Even the babies enjoy the snacks, it just takes a little longer for them to eat them!
As for the cows they are eating hay quite well right now. Going through a round bales every 3-4 days. At this rate they will eat a bale every two days during the bad part of winter. Good news is I still have quite a bit left so we should be fine.
I will try to get some pics of the cattle this weekend to post to compare with summer ones so you can see the difference in their coats as the seasons change!
