Lisa, they are like a dog house- more so like a dog crate they live in them until we have a group that is about 10 weeks old to prevent sucking sores and sickness. Also, we bottle feed real milk instead of milk replacer, so it is a precious commodity. It is easier to keep track of who drinks what in the first couple months this way and everyone gets their share. No milk bullies allowed
Those are really neat calf houses! I bet they would work well as goat shelters too. Your babies are just beautiful. Keep us posted on the training! Here's a link to our newest herd member. Rory (short for Rorschach) is a Hereford/Angus cross: http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e257/OkieAmazon/Calves/DSCF0896.jpg
Awww! Very cute Becky! A majority of our beef herd are Angus Hereford crosses. It's a small herd- 32 cows and 2 bulls but they are probably my favorite "stock" animals we own. Love watching those babies jump and hop through the grass.
Calf huts are great for goats. We've also used them in pastures for our mini horses and my inlaws put one at the end of the driveway for my nephew to sit in while he waits for the bus in the winter! He goes to school with straw on his backside, but it keeps him out of the wind
Great photos. The speckled calf has great dairy character and shows a lot of depth and spring of rib.
They are so WHITE though Amy! I see lots of shampoo in your future! And bluing!
She is our #1 pick, Betty. Genetically the best heifer born to date on our dairy! The white worries me a bit, but after tracking last years winners, we noticed none of them had significant black. Hopefully, we can keep their living quarters mud free but we haven't had much luck keeping our white horse from rolling into a grey mess for more than a week! I like a challenge though (and child labor is still free! LOL)
Our old Paint horse liked to get into our Oklahoma red dirt/mud pond. I'd look out in the pasture and think for a second, "Where'd that sorrel come from? Oh, just Chico been the pond again!" And yeah, we went through a lot of bluing!
