From the Breakfast Nook

On Dec. 21, 2014, I posted an update on our twins, Flossie and Freddie, in “The Twins and their New Tableware.” At that time, they had advanced from supplemental bottle-feeding to bucket-feeding. Grain, or “calf granola” as I call it, was added to their diet.

It didn’t take long for one of their friends, Two-Toes, to catch on to this special treat, come to the gate and gaze hungrily at the feed bunk. Bill invited her in and increased the amount of grain. Not long after that, he decided to invite Johnny-Come-Lately and Galliano into the Breakfast Nook. More table settings required a bigger feed bunk.

The grain creep feeder is still available for nibbling throughout the day. All five calves also munch at the bale feeders. Galliano likes to lie in the feeder and eat, particularly on extremely cold days.

Two-Toes wears her calf granola...

and is quite proud she can lick it off her nose!

Flossie, not to be outdone by her friend, attempts the same trick but is still working on the technique!

When Galliano returns to Mama, he’ll need more than his face washed. As he sucked breakfast from her table that morning, he apparently reached in from the rear instead of the side, and took a direct hit of cow pie on his back!
