The chickens do not get names but since they are around longer you almost have to name the larger livestock. Even if it is only One, Two and Three.
It can be hard not to get attached. Especially to the beef calves. They are so cute when they are little.
Of course by the time Fall arrives they are almost full grown and much less cute.
It tickles me to see young calves ‘dancing’. I’ve seen them jumping around sometimes, like little kids exulting in the fact of having legs and being able to MOVE.
(I always thought that if I ever owned a company, I’d name it ‘Dancing Calf’.)
(You can’t help but get attached. I worked for a long time in animal research; people even got attached to the research animals.)
