Bottle Feeding

I got the chore of feeding two calves this summer. Have you ever tried it? It is not the easiest thing in the world, feeding two at the same time. I got pretty good at it though.


Aren't they cute? One of the calves was kind of sickly, so it got special treatment, not the gentle kind though. It had to get daily shots for a while and I just couldn't do it. I had to have William come home on his lunch break one day because I just couldn't get the needle into the cow's skin. It started to wail, and I just couldn't emotionally do it. Sad, I know, but I am ok with it.


Unfortunately, the sickly one ended up dieing on me when we switch the calves over from being bottle fed to eating grain and hay. Such is life.
