The calves are growing bigger each and every day. They are now really moving around. So much so that the nice weather we had today we allowed them to roam outside in the pen. However, I wasn't around to get a video of them jumping and kicking up there heals, sad to say.
The calves are still on the same schedule of 2 quarts of milk in the morning and another 2 quarts at night. They have 5 gallon buckets of fresh water in their pens at all times. We also put in a square of grass hay for the smaller ones to chew on. There is now a big tub of grass hay in the largest pen for the 3 oldest calves. Everyone also has access to calf starter feed at all times. We will wait for them to get bigger before rationing that out.
Right now, the most favorite time of day for everyone is the morning and evening milk feedings. The three oldest don't have too much longer looking forward to their daily bottles. We are planning on weaning them away from milk come Thanksgiving.
