Deuteronomy 11:18-19

18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Calves to the Lease.

Going from our place to the lease. Papa is in the lease, calves still on our place. 


Farming has a way of calling to us and lately we've been doing a bit of it. Ivan, the smallest calf in the top picture, needed to be separated from Isabel so Papa cleaned up some bush, built some fence, lured the calves in, easy as they love that cow candy!, and we checked on the calves and they looked happy and in the right spot. The next morning Ivan was not in the pen, he was beside his momma's pen and soon inside her pen. So much for that! 


The road in the lease. Papa had to clear a chunk of the neighbours fence so he could make it stronger. It's just before this picture. 

So Papa rebuilt some fence, gave the calves an alley way close to the cows but ultra built with HOT fence and put Ivan BACK in with Milton and Patch and we waited. 


The far corner of the lease, where the grass really grows :) The calves finally get the cow candy! 

The second fence held! Yay! For the next few days Papa, and sometimes I, went to 'walk the calves to the lease.' A fun short walk. Papa in front with a bucket of cow candy, followed closely by Milton, Patch and Ivan, with me following along behind. Happy steers!
