May is about more than calves...or is it?

During May, we had a few firsts at S&K Farm...

The first turkey nest found

The first field of hay was cut.

And we had our first white faced calf! The ladies in the Church Hill herd got us up to 6 calves while the Kentucky herd raised their numbers to 34 calves.

Then there was May...

May was a busy month at S&K Farm. Here are a few things that happened.

The calves became inquisitive and wanted to learn what the 4-wheeler was.

The first calf from the Church Hill herd was born.

Farmer S had a run in with a set of fence pliers and busted his nose one evening. The picture isn't pretty.

Then the calves learned how good mineral can taste!

April Happenings

Summer at S&K Farm has distracted Farmer S and Farmer K from posting duties here at the website. If you've been following us on Facebook, you've kept up, but just in case you haven't, here's a quick recap of April...

The Church Hill herd moved from Church Hill to the Bluff City farm. They settled in quite nicely and enjoyed the plentiful grass.

The calves learned to hang out while their mamas fight over the mineral feeder.

Cow #10 had a bull calf and was kind enough to pose for a picture.

And April wrapped up by someone learning what happens when you stand on the wrong side in a crowd!

Part of the S&K Farm calf gang was in high spirits recently. They are growing like weeds and loving the good weather!

The S&K Calves Gang...

The S&K Calves Gang is accepting new members! Current enrollment is up to 13 with more joining daily. It's such a pleasure to watch all the cavorting in the field. The young ladies and lads are loving the warm weather and have running down to a fine art. Farmer S and Farmer K have had the fun of wrestling a few of the calves. It sure is startling when a calf bawls for mama and objects to being handled. But at this point, Farmer S and Farmer K have the hang of holding on despite the bawling! Thus far, 4 of the gang have received their ear tags. Hopefully Farmer S and Farmer K can catch the rest before they get too big and too quick. Stay tuned for more! If you need more of a fix of cute, cuddly calf pictures, check out our Facebook page.

Everyone has a job...

Today while Farmer K was doing her CPA job and Farmer S was off earning his paycheck, #54 went to work and did her job. Calf #2 has arrived on S&K Farm! Mom and baby have spent the afternoon bonding and resting from the birthing process. It's hard to enter the world but we're glad Calf #2 is here. Based on the looks of the other ladies, we might have more tomorrow!

One Down...62 to go!

Today on S&K Farm Mother Nature proved once again that she is unpredictable. For several weeks the hot topic of discussion on the farm has been which cow would have a calf first. Several contenders have been solidly in the top 10. Heifer #18 never even entered the race to be first. However, as of approximately 3 PM today, #18 took the prize and delivered a healthy, baby bull calf. She is already showing off her mothering skills quite well!

Enjoy the videos below as we wait for more to arrive!
