Calves in The Barn. TKG Take Ten
Come lean on the gate and watch the calves for a while. Relax. It is quiet in here.
Give yourself ten minutes of time out of the hurly burly. Do your breathing exercises. Or your yoga. Or brush your teeth and get ready for bed. Let us be your score for ten minutes. Sounds of the barn.

Maybe I will read your comments to the calves. 😂. They are in the barn, for a week in the calf pen, to get used to me and my voice and their surroundings and the hay and the other cows.
The two big cows (they are one year old now) spent last night sleeping on the other side of the calf gate so it will not be long before they are bonded into a herd.
Observation is 9/10ths of farming so these ten minute videos are as useful to me as they are to you. I love to see what the animals are up to when I leave the barn. The flies are so annoying when there is so much rain around. Do you see the cows swishing their tails non stop. I know flies do an essential job in the ecosystem but they are SO bitey!
We can hear barn swallows, red winged blackbirds, robins and sparrows.
It is so calm in the barn. It is my safe space. My happy place.
Have a lovely listen!
Leave me a comment. Thank you so much for being here on this journey with me!

Those calves look so content, in spite of the annoying flies. I once asked my mother why we never barbecued when we lived on the farm. She said it was because it was too cold in the winter and there were too many flies in the summer.
“Bobbies in blankets”, love that. A new cycle of watching those gentle calves grow up. The barn is such a lovely space with the added delight of various bird song, thank you, as ever.🙏🏼
