Our VERY favorite part of our visit to the ranch was getting to feed the baby cows. These little guys, Sue and Justin, were only 5 days old. Talullah has decided that on top of wanting a white horse, a brown horse, a pelican, and a deer... she wants a baby cow, too. She told her dad that he can build a house for them in our yard. He did it for the chickens, right?! I love that she has full faith her daddy can do anything.
Sue was our favorite calf. He is the cutie pie with a lot of super soft white fur ( Is it called fur?) and a spunky personality. We like spunky. He fought and fought against drinking his meal, and Aunt Jojo had to tackle him against the fence until he got the hang of sucking on the bottle. Then we realized the nipple wasn't working and he just wasn't getting any milk. It's a learning process for all of us, I guess.
Johanna and Eric have to come feed these babies 4 times a day, even waking up in the middle of the night to give them their bottle. As much work as this is, I still think that it's a life I could easily get used to. I love visiting the ranch!
