This cow was tired enough from calving she didn't want to stand as long as he wanted to nurse. So Jim assisted him in nursing while they both laid down. Jim has never witnessed this in all his years. *The cow was not in a head gate during this. She was just chilling as he nursed even with us close‐ she was such a doll through it all.
Here's a video of a cow giving birth. Enjoy!
This is how we started our morning. Moved 90 head down the road with just a couple glitches. 😊🐂♥️
They have arrived all in great time with their appetites.
Sunday before church moving the cows and calves to new pasture. Just a brisk jaunt down the road to greener pasture.
Turn up the sound on this one!! You can hear the calf nursing.
Calves at play on a cool spring night
A glimpse of spring here at the farm!
You have heard the saying “Make hay while the sun shines” Well Jim is taking advantage of the sunny weather to get hay made as the rain has put us way behind this year. 110 acres of first cutting to get done yet. Enjoy the sunshine and stay cool as you can this weekend!!
Beef cattle can be big babies even if you don't bottle feed. :)
Bringing the calves in for supper.
The calves after feeding tonight. Sorry for the sideways video as I'm not that tech savy.
Moving this group to the next paddock this evening. Calves are so cute running and kicking up their heels.
A beautiful day here at Courtright Farms. Have a great and safe Memorial Day. Take time to remember those who gave their all for our freedoms we have. We are blessed.
