Field Trip Day


Today was a very full and fun day.  A local day care came to visit the farm.  They got to pet Baby the horse and Paco the donkey.  They also played with Rat, our dog, and Clara Bell.  These two LOVED all of the attention!  Dana and Tamara (show heifers) were happy to be fed by the children and Dana even let them sit on her back while she was eating.  They then got to pet one of our bulls, Boss.  Watching the cows through the fence seemed to be enjoyed by all.

Many of the children seemed to really enjoy themselves and we loved having them on the farm.  They were eager to learn about the animals and to pet them.  Watching their faces light up when they interacted with the animals was rewarding for us.  I hope that some of them gained a new appreciation for animals and what it takes to care for them.  I appreciate all of the adults that were with them assisting in keeping an eye on the children while they were taking turns petting the animals.  This is defiantly something that I would like to do again.

I hope you have a fabulous day!

Until next time,  remember.......Beef, It's What's for Dinner!
