Calving season is over for us now, we only have the milk cows left and they are a whole other story. As you hear in the video, we had 13 animals calve but the first heifer lost her calf so we only have 12 calves this spring. As you can see the cows are liking all the fresh green grass they get this time of year while we rotationally graze them through the pastures.

Calving season is right around the corner so we're moving the herd to the paddock right by the house. That way it's easy to go and check on them. As you can see we've recently discovered that cows really like bananas, so we used them to get the herd moving towards the pen. Sadly I run out of bananas near the old barn. Emily starts filming for the rest of the move near the end of this part.

In this video we show off our new John Deere baler. Our tractor isn’t new so we have to take it easy. On the way out Emily films a muskrat with some cow parsnip in the lake. You also get a fairly in depth walk around with the cows while she waters them.

This is the second calf to go into the creek, but we have a solution. We will post it in the next video. So far this little guy is doing great and is nursing. We’ll register him and hopefully show him. I will film us halter training the calf and his growth along the way.
