Remember Barina the Dairy Calf?

You first met Barina at 10 days old when we brought her on her very first outing to Marin County Farm Day, in March.  Now the little dairy calf is about a month and a half old so Paige and I thought we should give Barina her first halter training lesson.
















I'm planning on taking Barina to a couple of upcoming outings, mainly so kids that don't have access to farm animals can come and see a dairy calf up close. Halter training her will benefit both of us.....Barina will feel safe and secure when on a lead rope and I'll {hopefully} have full control of her.
This was Barina's first time on a halter of any kind.  She did GREAT!  She's real gentle and didn't kick up her heels at all.













This is the look of a four year old when pouting because she wants to take control of my Canon DSLR camera.....no more posing, she wants to TAKE the photos.

So I let her........ 

Barina's first lesson went so well, she'll be following along behind us, probably without a halter, in no time.

    Oh-so-fun! I'm waiting to find the right calf to do this with so we have one that we can take to the school's Farm Day and other events.

    Looks like Briana is doing great, so glad she is going to help other kids learn about farm animals. And it looks like you have a budding new photographer as well!

    I am so impressed. Halter breaking is just about my least favorite thing, and the sole reason we don't have any foals around our place! I like to get them after they have learned to lead.

    How great for your kids to grow up on a dairy farm. I love the picture of her when she wanted the camera. And she took a good photo too.--Inger
