We're getting ready to sort off the calves and ship them out, which means the majority of the cattle are right around the ranch, and they need to be fed. Together they eat about 12 tons of hay per day. Right now, we are feeding them morning, noon and night.
All those cows kick up a bunch of dust.
H-Bomb and Sawed-Off LOVE feeding the cows, and the horses. They simply MUST be out there, on the trailer or in the tractor. If #1 goes out there without them, there is a huge scene. It's not pretty. We got home from school yesterday, and saw Daddy was out feeding. I had to run the boys out there on the four-wheeler so they could "help," even though the feeding was done and all they did was ride back in the tractor with Daddy.
Once we're finished with the cows, who get one-ton bales of hay, it's time to feed the horses. Honestly, if we load the small bales on the trailer and cut the strings, the boys can pretty much feed the horses themselves.
My sweet little cowboys...
