| My Valentine Wish for my Calves!By: Minnie Ward, Calf Star Midwest Sales Representative So, I am not a poetic, mushy kind of person. However, I do feel very passionate about my family & calves. Some may say I obsess over them. I like them both content & happy. |
| How do you feel about your calves? Valentine’s Day may be gone but during the month of February we all think about cupid and his arrow bringing us love. Our passion is a love for our animals. We care deeply for our little critters that make us do crazy things in environmentally challenged seasons. The weather lately has been bitter cold and all I want to do is go inside. Even though I want to be inside I know I need to make sure all the animals are well bedded and fed so I can feel good about crawling in my own bed at night. We might only be dreaming of the extreme warm weather right now but this weather has an effect on your animal care as well. I make sure they all either have water or electrolytes in front of them and again make sure that they are dry. This winter has been extremely challenging for a lot of people. On my travels I hear of events regarding struggles with our furry babies under 10 days or weaning animals. What’s going on? A lot of these events weigh heavy on our minds as we live for our calves. Last month I mentioned goals, the passion we carry throughout the year for our animals make us who we are. We obviously do not send our calves Valentine’s Day cards but some of us do kiss and pet them aggressively. Touch? Do calves feel emotions? Calves do like us to touch them, pet them and even play with them. I do believe they have emotions. You can see it in their eyes when we bed them. They bounce with happiness! I tend to find the simple things in life make me the happiest. Remember our little critters and the love we have for them on each and every day and not just Valentine’s Day 🙂 |
