Calves in the front yard

Today I let the calves out of the corral to roam in the front yard.  A couple calves were getting hay bellies and this way the calves can have green grass and I won't have much to cut for my final lawn mow of the year.

The calves were happy to have green grass.  So far they have behaved.  I did have to set up some corral panels around the bushes in front of the house and protect other trees and bushes.  I didn't put panels around the patio.  Well.... the calves were fascinated by the patio and the stuff in it.  They had to check everything out. Later half the herd decided to take their siesta in the patio.

Later afternoon Clyde was nosing around the patio again and then playing with the shrubs.  So I went and got more of my corral panels and put them around the patio.

I still plan to take most of the calves to the auction on Wednesday.  All this work for just over two days of eating.



Daisy wasn't too thrilled with the calves in the yard.  So far she is putting up with it.  The red heifer calf below didn't get a nose full of claws.  Clyde is the red steer on the right with white on his head.
