Growing Up Fast

Standing by Bella, the mare that took her away from the birth mare
 

The nurse mare a few weeks after we got her.
This is an extreme improvement from the condition she was in when we got her.
 
 
This is the nurse mare now.

Snickers with the nurse mare


 
Snickers getting a lesson on wearing a halter

 
 
Learning to use a lead rope

 
Positive reinforcement

 
 
Eating big girl food with the nurse mare
 
 
 
Her coat is pretty dirty and rough from lying down to sleep in the grass, but she has really filled out and grown taller the past month.
 
 
 
 
 
Romeo looking wistfully at the bucket of feed being given to the mare and baby.

 
 
Snowball planning what new mischief he will get himself into.
 
 
 
 
 
 
A little late, but the first week of November David put our new fish in the pond.

New run-in for the cows on the second pasture.

 
 
New cows will soon be added to the herd.
David is getting ready to buy some more to feed through the winter.

How many cows must a person own to be a cattle farmer?

I think David is close to having enough cows to qualify.
