Crystal has been thinking and thinking of good names for the calves - the one on the left is Patch since we already have a Spot on the farm. The others are still nameless after the first 24 hours here! They're ecstatic to be pasture calves; you can see that they are more used to a mucky feedlot by the way they walk - lifting their legs up very high. I suppose it'll take a few days for them to normalize - they seem good natured (always a good thing with animals weighing many times more than we do!)We did get rain today; showers off and on so it became a day to pick up some fence panels to go under the bridge and by the creek where the goats have discovered they can sneak under. I made 2 batches of chevre and had whey for the pigs tonight. The peahen is STILL laying - the eggs are big and very hard - the pigs of course have no trouble cracking the shells though. Jim called the fellow who cuts hay and we're on the list to have it mowed in a week or so (hopefully when we're out of this wet cycle) and I need to scrounge up some more straw for the garden. But for now, it's time to make some dinner.
