Baby Cows

We welcomed two new additions to Little Frog Ranch! Two six-month-old Hereford cows.  (technically, Hereford and Angus mix)

Mooving to their new home! Chris got to help with the deworming and ear tagging before they were loaded up into the trailer. 

They need to stay in the corral for 7-10 days so they get comfortable with their new home and learn where their food and water are located.

Aside from grass, they eat hay and supplemental feed.


Next door neighbors wanted to meet their new friends across the fence.

The pond has filled in nicely!

Little Frog Ranch update

This view never gets old!

Unfortunately, the pond is in sad shape right now.  Although it will fill up on its own with the spring rains, we need to run a pipe or hose from the water well so it can stay full year round for the animals.  We're not sure if the previous owner intentionally put the plastic chair in the middle of the pond or if it blew in years ago.  But since it's usually covered with water, it gives us an indication of how deep the pond can be.  We will remove the chair...someday...

We walked through the dry pond area to see if there was anything interesting usually covered by water, and came across this animal bone about a foot long.  We haven't discovered all of the wildlife around here yet, but this is probably from a deer.  We have seen deer and coyotes in the wildlife cameras in the past.  

No trip to Little Frog Ranch is complete without a picture of my favorite tree and cactus!
