Looks like you had plenty of supervision there.
Every paddie must have gotten busted too. I dont see any in the pics.

Poor starved critters you got there, looking all abused-like.
look forward to seeing that jersey growing really good with all that new grass.
Here it is looking greener, but we need some sunshine to get things past the first couple inches of leaf.

Hope you get a great season for raising forage!

Sure is nice to see some green on the ground Topside. My critters are standing around with their fists in hand waiting to play "rock, scissors, paper" for the next blade of green to shoot through the ground!

Thanks Creamers...The taller steer is only 7 months old and is in a growth spurt....The littler steer I'm a bit concerned about, those crazy ears and his late summer smell has me a bit worried....Otherwise spring has sprung in Tennessee.

Wow. I'm jealous! Our snow is finally starting to melt, but there are still a few feet. We are supposed to get 10-18 inches today. Maybe I should move South.

We were starting to see some bare ground, but we're supposed to get about 1-1/12 feet of snow today.

Topside your helpers looks like the cow I had trained to feed hay with the tractor...then after 3 years . She left the lights on and run the battery down . So I sold her...have not had time to train another one
