Pictures-The Cows

These pictures are for my city girlfriends ;) Is that you, Lindsey??
After staying inside for way too many days with all of us having colds....AND some nice weather
has come for the weekend it looks like.....I took the kids out to where my brother Jacob works this morning.

This place is pretty amazing...they basically raise TONS (as you can see above and that's not even all the calf huts either!) of calves and make some good money in the process.

Here's some bigger cows.....


If I remember correctly from growing up on a dairy, this is called a freestall barn.




Gabe got to "feed a baby cow" as he says ;)



Ellie was loving it too....poor kid, I'm the over protective mother that made them wear their winter coats because they have colds.....nasty coughs...never ending runny noses....



We got to ride on the feeding machine....the neat looking tanks in the back actually are the cow's drinks ;) You just drive past and fill their buckets...how cool is that?


Uncle Jacob...the bull rider....and farmer boy ;) Thanks Jacob! We love you so much!!!
