To mix up the milk you put powder milk in the bottle and mix until there are no lumps in the milk.

Then you put the lid on. Then you bring it out to the calf to see if it will drink.

If it doesn't drink we feed the milk to our dog. He really likes it.

I also like to play with the calves. The first thing you do when playing with them

is to make sure that their mother isn't in sight. If she is in sight you should'nt play with them. She might think you are trying to hurt it. Then if she isn't in sight you kneel down and let them smell you. If they smell you and seem to trust you it might be okay to play with them.

My dad can watch the cows from the house because we have a camera in the barn. It is specially designed for inside barns.

In the barn on cold days my dad puts a tarp with a metal bar in it, so that only the calves can get in. In the barn, there are three spaces. One space is for all of the cows, another is for one mother, and one calf. The last one is for the caves only. It has a heat lamp that only heats objects.

This is a picture of my cow Maud that I drew.   This is Maud's Grandma her name is also Maud.  This cow's number is 807H. This cow's number is 115E.    This cow's number is 902J. This year I'm going to start 4-H with a heffer named Maud. As in Lucy Maud Montgomery. Her number is 103L. She is the daughter of our bull Wind. All of our cows have their own names. That is over 200 names! Me and my brother help make names. By:Aleta
