Josh and Devon's calves

Josh and Devon decided to try to make a little extra money this coming year by raising a couple of calves to meat out. This past fall, the purchased a couple of newborn dairy bulls and then bottle fed them for several months. Now they are getting bigger and are eating hay for the winter, but I wanted to get their pictures posted while they were still small.Devon's calves are Spot and Spunk, and Josh's calf is Beef. As you can see, Sage likes to make sure the cow's faces are washed after they're done eating! Unfortunately, Spot passed away for an unknown reason this past Saturday. Devon was very upset. He really enjoyed the calves... not just because of their money making potential, either! Sometimes I wonder if the boys will get too attached to sell them for meat this next year!
