Pretty Cows?

Here are some pictures from the 4-H fair today. Ed & Eileen, Joshua, Jeremiah and Jacob stopped by the dairy barn. Ed had perfect timing as the girls could use some help washing their calves for the first time. Once a farm boy, always a farm boy. It took Madison and Katie 1 hour and 15 minutes to wash them. I hope that gets faster or we'll have to get here VERY early on Tuesday morning, before they show them at 9am.
Actually after they have been cleaned up I've decided that cows can really be a pretty animal. Their eyes are so expressive. They are soft as can be now. Someone has to sit by their stall for basically 12 hours a day to make sure their stalls stay clean.(Poo-Patrol).


How do you liked the "teased" look in her tail now?

Madison decided tonight that she wants to go to college to major in agriculture so she can learn to be a farmer. She decided not to be a vet because she could never put an animal to sleep. (I wonder how many times this major will change?).

I can't tell you how much she is enjoying this calf... does the picture say enough?

PS... Tony and Quinn are home from basketball camp. I'll write more about that when I have more time. They had a really good time!
