Hay! (it's cheaper than corn)

chewing the cud

A couple of the cows on my friend's place. They look to be some sort of Hereford-Charolais cross with maybe some Simmental in them, too.


calves in hay

The hay was in those huge round bales and my friend's dad has some "corrals" to put around the hay in order to keep the cattle (and horse) from trampling on it.His dad uses these corrals most of the time, but rolls out a bail now and then along the ground.

I commented on it, wondering why he was putting one bale in the enclosure, but putting another on the ground.

He said his pop does that because the little calves like to lie on the hay.
