So a couple of weeks ago we went with dad to feed some of the cows!! Brady loved it, he loves the cows and all the tractors! Every time he sees the tractors he starts to point and talk he is own lingo....it's cute he just loves them!! So we have a couple of cows that are tame and they are out where Taras feeds them. We have some of them here at our yard and the rest are at another yard..anyways me and Taras calve out half the heard and his parents do the other half. That was before I had Brady! So we would go there in the mornings and check to see if any cows have calved and tag and needled them, fed them etc. then we go home for lunch and then back to calving well when we went back there was like 6 cows that had calved and too many calf's one of them had twins. See they lay down to calve and she did but then she got up and went to another spot and calved again and she didn't know she had the first one. If they don't have them in the same spot then they don't know they had twins....unless they come to smell them, that is how they can tell there baby from the other ones! And if they do have twins we put then in a pen for awhile so she knows she has two of them!! So we saw this little calf by one of the feeders and no cows were coming for it, so we figured it was a twin! So we would let all the other cows smell it but no one wanted her (sometimes this happens) so we fed it and took care of it till it was big enough to go on it's own.....and we called her twinzel. She was our buddy!! Every morning she knew when we got there she would get fed!! She would follow us around, basically we were her parents!! It's cute! Well now she is big but she still comes to us!! Brady would pet her and sit on her!!! Which he LOVED!! So I have a couple of pics to show you guys!!
