THE NURSERY
Milkhouse     Dairy Barn    Feed & Hay    Nursery

The youngest animals are kept in the nursery, from  newborn to six months. Until 3 months of age they are being fed milk twice a day.

The rations change quickly here, from molasses grain, to hay, to some silage. The calves learn how to drink water from a bucket and then how to work a water bowl.

The calves are especially curious and will try to touch and lick you. The nursery is by far the favorite place to visit. The calves really like people and are very trusting.
