It definitely gets easier as they get older.Paintsmhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05912149407619396384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211012004316276379.post-80783338791790842542008-12-31T11:19:00.000-05:002008-12-31T11:19:00.000-05:00What a cute little bull.

It's tough to get anything around here.<BR/><BR/>Paintsmh,<BR/>I hope your heifer/bull ratio improves. Do you bottle or bucket feed or leave them on the cow? I know it's time consuming regardless of how you do it. <BR/><BR/>joanna,<BR/>yes - I did take the photos with my new camera. I love it!! I was so impressed with the speed and how easy it is to focus and shoot. I need lots of practice :) <BR/><BR/>nita,<BR/>Thanks....I just love them all. The hardest part for me is refraining from having a barn full. One look at those adorable faces and I'm hooked :) <BR/><BR/>christy,<BR/>It was hard for me to be patient with my hens but they knew when it was time better than I did :) It will be soooo exciting when you get your first egg! <BR/><BR/>kristi,<BR/>next batch of hens I'm going to get a few of the easter egg chickens. I miss the colored eggs. Not sure the milk would hold well on the express from Maine to Ohio! Wish I could make it happen. <BR/><BR/>linda,<BR/>I really do prefer the snow to the ice. It's treacherous trying to get around. We had just enough snow this morning to cover and you couldn't tell where the ice was. We had a hard time staying on our feet. The cows have to be so careful not to slip and really injure themselves. <BR/>I hope your temps warm up for you :) <BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your comments everyone - I really enjoy hearing from all of you :)Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353371999780496358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211012004316276379.post-41188165884879576342008-12-30T11:20:00.000-05:002008-12-30T11:20:00.000-05:00I'm ready for some sort of thaw.

The only thing it makes is ice on top of ice on top of ice.<BR/><BR/>Linda<BR/>http://coloradofarmlife.wordpress.com/DayPhotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241862779620972216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211012004316276379.post-38361371422497675992008-12-30T10:04:00.000-05:002008-12-30T10:04:00.000-05:00I never tire of seeing brown and green eggs in the...I never tire of seeing brown and green eggs in the chicken coop.
