When do you do chores and what chores do you do? I do chores in the evening when I do not have homework or 4-H. I feed calves grain and water them. I also pre-dip the tame cows.
What are your favorite and least favorite chores? My least favorite chore is sweeping up feed because it is boring. My favorite chore is running milk samples during milk testing because it is fun.
Do you have a favorite animal on your farm? My favorite animal is my first show heifer, Nadia. She is going to have a calf in two weeks, so I'm very excited. Hopefully it's a heifer calf.
