They are both handsome calves. What is the bull calf's future? A show steer, or auction barn? Will you keep the heifer calf?

We are going to sell all the bull calves with our bottle calves in the fall.

I don't know for sure if we are keeping the heifer or not.

Leeli calved almost a few weeks ago. She had a black Bull calf. My sister's own Leeli and they named her calf after a character from the same book Leeli is from. I have no idea how to spell the calf's name. Here is a photo of him.

Checkers had her calf on the 18th. It is a bull calf. I named him Winchester. My sister got me to read the inheritance games books and one of the characters has the middle name of Winchester so that is why his name is Winchester. Here is a photo of Winchester

On Sunday we got back from State Shoot in the evening and my dad went to check the calves. He went out there and he saw a red calf laying on the ground. It turns out Toffee has her baby early. She wasn't due until mid or end of May. Since it was raining out we put Toffee and her baby into the shed. When my dad picked up the red calf to bring her to the shed he looked over at the calf hutch and there was a lineback baby. It turns out Toffee has twins. They are both heifers.

I am thinking of naming the red calf Twizzler. We are going to trade the red calf for hay. Here is a photo of her.

The second baby is a lineback baby that looks just like Toffee. Even though we weren't going to keep any heifer calves from Trump my dad said I could keep the lineback baby since she has such a pretty pattern. I don't know what to name her yet. It can be a candy but I don't want to have it be a T candy since only the sisters have T candy names and the calves we aren't keeping can get T names.
Here is a photo of her

we finally found a horse not too far from us to go look at!

it's a bay gelding and we are going to go look at him this week sometime.

the horse is being sold at an auction and we didn't want to get a horse from an auction but a friend knows the person selling the horse and the friend talked to the seller and it sounds like it is really a good horse. there was another horse the the person was selling and it sounded like a really good horse but our friend talked to the seller and found out the horse wasn't as beginner friendly as the sale ad said but the other horse sounds good for us

So we went and looked at the horse about 3 weeks ago. We found one that we liked and his name is Stitch. He is gray/pepper colored and he is 11 years old. There was another horse there that I liked. It was a mare and she was 16 years old. She wanted had more go then woah and she would have been great for games at the horse fun days but my dad said that if she was younger then she would be out first option to bid on but since Stitch is younger he was our first option to bid on.

We bought Stitch and got the first week we had him my mom was gone and my dad works so he doesn't have time to watch us ride him so we didn't ride him the first week. When my mom got back we got to ride Stitch for the first time. My dad told me that I have to be the first one to get on Stitch and my little sister can ride him after me. As soon as I got in the saddle Stitch backed up 3 steps really fast and then he turned around and took off bucking and hopping. I got dumped off him.

The bay gelding we went to go look at needed an advanced beginner rider so we didn't even look at him. Someone we know ended up with the gelding and they told us that when they got him home he was acting like a stud and when they saddled him for the first time. They had him saddled and no one was on him but when they saddled him he reared up and flipped over backwards. They returned him to the auction and got their money back. If you bought a horse at the auction you had seven days to bring it back and get your money back but after seven days it is too late and you can't bring him back. I don't know what is going to happen to Stitch.
 
Two weeks ago my dad and little sister went to the pig auction to get put pigs for the year. We have someone taking care of them for us since we didn't want to have them until after state shoot so the person who does our chores for us while we are gone doesn't have to try to take care of the pigs.
We are picking the pigs up tomorrow and bringing them home. My pig is a Hampshire girl.

We are also getting the bottle calves tomorrow!

In the morning we will go get our bottle calves then drop them off at home and then leave right away to go pick up the pigs and bring them home.

We will get our show calves in the middle of May and I don't know when we are getting the goats. I just know we are getting the goats sometime in May.
