...i need to stop looking for information on raising calves and lambs online because the pictures out there make me want to raise them in my own home. i mean...how can you want a plain old dog or cat when you can have...
a jersey calf. adorable and doe-like, yes? how can you possibly resist?
oh my WORD!
yes, yes, i realize they get big and poop everywhere BUT in a toilet...i just don't know what i'm going to do come the first heavy thunderstorm or snowstorm... i just might camp out in the barn with them to make sure they're okay. provided i can talk kenny and the boys into joining me.

we will be going to the county farm show in august and plan to talk with the owners of the anials this year. in year's past, we'd just walk through the sheep barn, the dairy barn, the chicken pen...this year, we're planning on meeting the folks who raise these animals. we're finding that the way you meet good vets, technicians, and breeders is by recommendations.
