So, cows eat hay. We have a lot of hay and it may have been the greatest day of Jake's life the day the tractor arrived to move all that hay. He went with Travis to the tractor store and told his dad, "Hey Dad, when we get to that tractor store tell the guy, "Sir, we need two tractors. One for me and one for my kid.""
Yes, we realize the tractor isn't green and will try to do better next time. It was strictly a financial decision that I'm sure my grandpa would have understood.
Before the cows arrived, Jake and Travis were thrilled to be able to use the tractor for some snow plowing.
At the end of last week our our cows arrived. Saturday we all loaded up in the feed truck (which Jake believes is titled to him) and went to feed.
Here is Travis loading up the hay:
Opening up the pasture:
Jake DRIVING the feed truck. It is his job. I'm not kidding. He actually does really well. Honks at any of the girls if they get in his road.
Our fearless leader throwing out the hay.
Here they come!
Meg was yelling at the cows the entire time. It is in her blood. She gets that from her dad.
Justin was in heaven.

One thing I know about cows...they teach you how to swear. (oh and work hard too :).
