You never know about kids

[HOSS]

This little heifer calf was born a little over a week ago. She struggled a bit at first in getting the hang of nursing so we have been giving it a supplemental bottle. Little HOSS has been smitten by this little girl. He decided he wanted to halter break her so he has been working with her every evening. She follows him around on a string now. He has paid very little attention other than the normal curiosity to the scores of calves born on the farm but this rag tag little calf grabbed his attention. I am guessing she will probably stay in the herd whether she makes a good cow or not :mrgreen:

Thats great its always good to see a kid get involved in something productive and not sit in front of video games and the tv.

 

[J&D Cattle]

Now that's a good looking pair.

That is great, it will be worth it to keep her for him to stay interested.

Good for Little Hoss being outdoors and not in front of the tv. Glad he has an interest in the animals, too.

Good deal Hoss. Your pic brought back memories of our kids. Little things like this build strong characters and responsibility in a fun way.
How old is little Hoss?

Thanks Vic. If he keeps interested I might do something for the local fair.

Man he is growing. I believe you are right about that calf staying there a while.

 

[Howdyjabo]

Just concider yourself lucky that it was not a bull calf and you were stuck with a pet steer the rest of its life

 

[Fly-guy]

I agree with J&D, that is a great looking pair. :cboy:

Luv it !!!!!!!!!!!! :heart:

My nephew (city slicker) is in 4H now for the first time. He gets his pick of my heifers to raise up . Hope he looks as good along side his heifer as Little Hoss does by his new little gal !!!!

It's still a few county fairs going on. He wouldn't have to be in 4h to show in the open. Loadem up, and take him to one. Don't forget health papers.
