Our realtor Susie, who helped us find our home, happens to live on a 200 acre cattle farm about an hour outside of Columbus with her husband Tom. She was nice enough to invite us and our friends (whose home she also helped find) out to the farm for dinner and an evening feeding the cows.
Molly and her friend Ellie had a blast. Here they are riding on the "tractor"
After a great dinner (steak, of course). We all headed out into the fields to herd us some cows and bring 'em in for their dinner. Molly is supervising our friend Tom here (he is a retired faculty member from Animal Science Dept. at OSU).
And here she is getting ready to take some hay out to a group of cows
And here they are on the way back (Molly let Tom drive on the way back to the shed)
Then Ted, Ellie, Molly and I followed the rest of the group out to some more distant paddocks to check on a few of the other cows
And here they are.
The rain held off until the way home, so we had a beautiful evening out on the farm. Nice and warm (a little humid) and surprisingly bug free.
We're not sure which she liked better - seeing the calves or driving on the tractor. Either way, it was a great experience for Molly and a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon and evening in June.
