I love helping kids explore our farm! I thought the best next step would be to create a blog about our farm that was kid friendly! Our farm is a real, working small family dairy farm. There are good times and bad times on a farm. Our animals all have their own personalities - even the chickens! We grow to love them all. But, because we have so many animals, we sometimes have sad times too. Right now we have 16 cows, 4 heifers, 7 steers and 6 calves. A heifer is a female cow that has not had a calf yet. A steer is a male that has been neutered (parents, you can explain that one!). We also have 3 pigs, a lot of chickens and ducks, five dogs, Petey the bunny, 2 birds and a whole bunch of cats! 2 cats live at our house and the rest are barn cats. Our barn cats are VERY big and healthy. Some farmers only give their barn cats milk so they are hungry and catch mice and rats. We give our cats milk, but we also feed them every day. I don't think they really care too much about catching mice! Here are some pictures of our current farm animals:
