The calves are doing great. They almost have the yard eaten down. For the most part they are well behaved. Still, they have gotten up to some mischief. I tied a tarp over the well pump shed roof. Somehow they have gotten the tarp off of one corner of the roof - twice. They bit off the corner of one shingle.
While I protected my small trees and shrubs the calves worked to get at the leaves. This morning I found all but one leaf gone from the small walnut tree in the back yard. All Summer I had successfully protected this tree and its leaves but the calves finally worked the fencing apart enough to reach in and eat the leaves. Fortunately the leaves were turning so I have hope this won't hurt the tree.
I reinfored the fencing around the large walnut tree. Here is a 16 second video of several calves trying to get to the tree's leaves. https://youtu.be/I7OqKm9iz7w
I cut and split some logs the other day. Here the calves are 'helping' me.
