Fellow imgurian asked for pictures of Cows, and I worked on a farm for 2 years. Disclaimer: not all cows.

That’s one of our cows, she got out of the pasture and we were trying to figure out how to get her and her calf back in.

And here we can see Button the calf. It seems silly that I feel bothered by not remembering the mother’s name

This is Pony the cat. A number of the farm hands thought we should get a pony, and after a while, the management gave in, sort of.

She would often sleep in my windowsill (not sure that’s quite the word but whatever)

And here we see the noble, the regal, the fluffier then thow chicken. They simply wandered the farm and came home to roost at night.

I had to mess with the light balance to make this calf even slightly visible. I think her name was Cardigan

And here she is with her mother, Clover

Some rabbits in their newly renovated enclosure

A bit better lighting on them

The tin coop. Where we keep about 40 chickens at night.

Can’t really tell but I remember taking this picture and those are sheep in the distance. Or goats.

Some more cattle on a foggy day.

The tin coop, again, coincidentally in the same place as my last picture of it which was taken over a week earlier.

After the fog cleared from the hilltop it was still covering the valleys. You can see the tops of hills poking out like islands.

Just a fancy birdhouse

Clouds after you tell them they are beautiful.

The regal chicken returns. I believe this is Salt the rooster. Not every chicken has a name, but the ‘special’ ones did

Curly and Moe, two Yaks. When feeding them you needed to hand them each a bowl at the same time or curly would scare Moe away

Just Moe.

Just a farmhand holding our favorite hen, Mark Whalberg

A farmhand holding one of our least favorite goats, Tyrian. A male goat that always tried to sneak into the milk room

Though cows usually graze in herds, this one was separate from the group.

That’s Artemis. One of our milk goats who tolerates being hugged. Not the best at selfies though.

All pictures from here out are of the ranch, a separate location in Arkansas. They are raising pigs there

Some young hogs.

The chicken observed as her subjects work the field.

Some younger sheep

The goats name is Thorin, I don’t remember the persons name.

That’s nimbus and Nora, a kid and a lamb. We don’t usually bottle feed the lambs, but Nora’s mother wasn’t making milk. She was raised with the goat kids.

Nimbus and Nora are childhood friends,

Nora, Nimbus and Danny taking a nap

Danny woke up, just Nora and Nimbis

There’s Danny!

I too would take our royalty for a stroll around their domain.

A small smile on a fence

Stormy, one of our smaller milk goats. She was lovely but the other goats were mean to her. She would often squeeze through the electric fence and graze nearby. She even would sit on the solar charger to reduce the power first. If anyone walked over to try to get her back inside she would pop in the fence and stare back at us

Danny, Thorin, Forrest and Mushu got out, But a little bit of sweet grain in a bucket and they followed me back home

Nora says Hello.

No cute animals, just bizarre lights in the sky. Probably “god rays” during sunset, but shooting up because the sun is under the horizon. That’s my explanation

This sow want to plat with the ball, but the fence is in the way.

Hi Nimbus, you sure have grown

That’s our sheepdog. He was taking a nap in the pipe.

I don’t think I took this picture, probably downloaded it while I was on the ranch.

Penny (the small) and Alice (the large) enjoying some salt

I will leave you with Bob, a donkey. I had other pictures but this is 50, and so that’s the end.

aww

#1 have you tried to find a large cardboard box she could sit it? It works with cats.

She’s an outdoor cat, we’re not supposed to have her in the house. Yeah she often sleeps in boxes in the barn

If you can make a video of her playing with her favourite toy, that would be memorable.

I so, so wish I had the kind of land needed for an operation like this! I particularly loved the pig pictures!!

First one is a little over 200 acre property, but most of it is woods. We get a lot of Maple Syrup but other wise don’t use it for much

Sounds perfect for a huge hog operation. Can you tell what my favorite livestock is?? Lol
