    I’m still wallowing in a Thanksgiving stupor, so I thought I’d post a picture of my calves, Tex and Joe in their first yoke. I will post a close up of the yoke later for constructive criticism since it is the first one I have carved. The training is really going well; I’m quite proud of my boys.

    Love to see the pic….. right now the link is faulty. You may need to re-upload (???? is that a word…. I guess in these modern times it is).

    would love to see them too. Enjoy them while they are small.

    Carl, if others understand what you mean with glued together letters, then it is certainly a word whether Webster says so or not 🙂

    I can see them just fine now, what breed/cross are they?

    The dairy I got them from has mostly holstein/jersey crosses. They used to have only pure bred holsteins but have been crossing and breeding to get better grass fed genetics. I call them Jersey/Holsteins but the reality is that they are probably more mutts than anything else. Basically they were very cheap and I know the dairy farmer so I trusted his decision for picking the calves out.
