When the calves get out

Some days sitting in my office looking out the window, I see things that I don't know if anyone would ever believe if they were not sitting right here. We have a construction crew building a new calf barn. The calves have "play pens" right now that they are in and the barn really doesn't have any walking room for the employees because of the size of the play pens. So the new mission of a new calf barn. When all is said and done the calves will have an even larger play pen for each of them and the employees will be able to walk around with plenty of room. With construction happening around the current barn there have been times when a playpen area needs to be moved so that the calves are not disturbed. Any time that you have a bunch of calves being moved around there is bound to be one or two that are escape artists. It is hilarious to watch these calves discovering new areas of the farm that they are not really allowed to be in on a normal basis. No where dangerous, just a new fence line or a new field. But it gets even funnier watching these guys try and wrangle these calves. All these babies want to do is play, and all the guys want to do is get back to work. They really remind me of GIANT puppies. If you want them to go left, they run right. It just makes you want to giggle. The good news is, when all is said and done, the babies will have a much larger barn with even bigger play pens. It always makes me feel good inside.
