Farm Chores

Our neighbors raise show cattle.
They needed help with morning chores while away at a show.
I was happy to visit the animals give them their breakfast.
 First to be fed were the barn cats.
Its hard to ignore seven hungry cats.

Next, the dogs were let out and fed.
Wrigley promptly ate his breakfast, leaned against my tire and supervised.

These to show cattle had to be fed a special grain.

The rest of the cattle were out at pasture and feeding on round bales,
so I checked to see if everyone was on their feet.
 My next stop, the hen house in the background.

 Chickens fed & watered.
I found one egg.
 This newly weaned calf watched me warily as I finished the chores.
There's never a day off for the farmer.
