| This is one of the younger calves - just a few days old. |
 |
| These are a bit older. They are kept in such clean, well-maintained stalls - I was impressed. |
 |
| Up close and personal - I think this is a shot of the calf licking my camera. |
 |
| Another close-up. You can see just a bit of her tongue at the center bottom. She was licking my hand. |
 |
| This one is a couple of weeks old - getting solid food [grain] and lots of beautiful green hay. |
 |
| Can you touch the top of your nose with your tongue??? |
 |
| This is another part of the barn, where the adult cows live. This particular cow is a Jersey/Holstein cross. I had no idea, but the Jersey is not the preferred breed of dairy cow - somewhat grumpy and aggressive, compared to the Holstein. |
 |
| Here are some of the Holstein girls outside. |
 |
| The gate to the field has been opened, and they are heading off for a day of pasture. You can just catch a bit of the beautiful rolling countryside of Langley. |

| Tara, on the left, and Mackenzie - they both work part-time at the farm. A few days ago, a horsey friend of mine [Tara] posted some photos of calves on the farm where she works, and asked if I would like to come and take some photos. OK, that was like waving a red flag at a bull. I could hardly wait!!! So this morning, I was over there by 9:00 AM, camera at the ready. What a wonderful visit! All the animals are so very well cared for, the farm is immaculate, all the workers love the cattle, and the farmer is a sweetheart. I had a great time, and was welcomed to visit again - if I get there around 7:30, they'll teach me how to milk cows. OH ... HEAVEN!!! Thank you for dropping by! Your comments are always welcome. |
