Train Wreck and Bucky! Yes, we finally made good on our promise for a bucket calf - or, two bucket calves. Thanks to Maynard Knepp we brought these two guys home with us on Wednesday.
Train Wreck has the white splotch on his face. Bucky is all brown, or red. I have no idea what's going on with these calves. I don't even know if the term bucket calf is correct since they eat grain and hay and drink water. But, regardless they have been enthusiastically welcomed into the family.
The boys feed them each morning and check on them in the evenings. Train Wreck and Bucky come running to us when they see us and that makes the boys feel like they really like them - although I think they always expect us to be bringing them a snack.
Having beef cows on the yard is a brand new adventure, but one that seems to be off to a good start.
