Feedin' Cows

I took my camera out with me this morning while doing chores to get a few pictures of the cows when I feed them.
One big fat one leading the way for me.



The end of the line.....look at them chowin' down!

I've really gotten to know some of their personalities while feeding them. I know the timid ones and the "pushy" ones, the sloooow ones and the ones that try to beat me to the bunk and the really dumb ones! That's something I have never gotten to see because normally I spend most of my time with them during calving season and I just get to see the "motherly" side of them. It's been a whole new experience for me.

That picture reminds me of thanksgiving at my aunts house

I didn’t even know cows had “personalities” I love the one who is looking at the camera – never too hungry to get in a photo opt!

Just like people, huh? All sizes and shapes and personality types.

Love that first pic! It looks freezing, makes me want to wrap up in a blanket.
Hope Chad is doing well.
God bless

Superwoman.

I know it's lots of HARD work but it's neat that they have the different personalities and that you are learning that. I surely never knew that. To me a cow is a cow!!!

As my grandmother used to say, you sure have your hands full and your britches to hold up now! I can't imagine having all of those animals to take care of. Hope Chad is improving each day. He must hate to see you out doing all that work.
I know what you mean about the fast snowmobiles. My sons is fast and he just bought one for my granddaughter who is only 7!!! Why grandmothers get gray hair!!! Hers is slow but I still worry.

It is funny how each cow has a distinct personality....and they ARE just like people!

There is a plus side to all of this. Learning about their personalities has to make the work a little more personable, I would think. Kind of like making new friends, maybe?
