It was such a “spring like” day today here in the North
Georgia Mountains. I gave my children the day off
from home schooling today so we could get some farm work done outside because
it was so nice out. While working outside I saw Amelia and Mini
Bell sunning themselves. God is so
good. They are so cute and beautiful to
me.
I love to watch them play and jump
around. They are Twinkies babies that
were born six weeks ago. They are now
drinking two 20 ounce bottles a day, one in the morning and one in the evening
each. I have seen them eating hay and
just this week they started picking at and eating grain. They together eat about a fourth of a cup of
grain a day now. They are growing well
and I am very pleased with them. I will
worm them as soon as they are around eight weeks old and at eight weeks I will
drop them down to only one bottle a day. (just the evening feeding) I have
still not seen them chewing their cud yet at all. So I guess they are still developing their
rumen. They should start to chew any
time now.
