We some how ended up with 4 bottle calves this year. Carter loves helping feed them (at least for the first couple weeks when it was still novel) and it actually pretty good help. It's now part of her daily chores and she gets to help every day morning and night. Mostly she does a good job and doesn't whine much. Never too early to start teaching them to work I guess! She helps me get the bottles ready in the morning and feed the calves. Robert really seems to love having all the critters around this place, and we're getting closer every day to becoming a real live petting zoo.

Making sure he's doing it right! Robert's just starting to get them bucket trained since it's so much faster to bucket feed this many calves although carrying four buckets might get tricky!

Lucky and Boo...yep, reused names from last year, keeps it simpler and Carter seems to like those names.
