Meet Boomerang and Monte. Boomerang is the darker one of the left, he is our beef cow and Monte is the lighter one on the right, and is Voorhorst's cow.
They are capable of eating grass at an extremely fast rate and we quickly needed to get some hay for them. With them eating some hay it as also given the grass some time to grow back, so now they get a bit of both.
We also gave them all the grass clipping from the lawn, which they were pretty happy about, this is boomerang, he got his name from the white marking on his forehead.
Their favorite corner to lay down in. We started putting Rusty, the calf on the side, in with the bigger cows during the day. That lasted for a little while, but soon he was happy to be out there all the time.
Hazel loves helping with feeding the cows and very diligently filled up the wagon....
and then waits for a hay ride :)
The wagon full of hay looks very comfy!
