Love is What Happens When you Meet These Two Calves

Ben finished eating and struggled against his halter to get to Jerry's bottle of milk formula. Ben butted my leg and grabbed a mouthful of my shirt.

We bottle feed them milk formula twice a day, and they’ll learn to work in a yoke as "working steers."

"I like trying new things. I want to be a vet but wasn't sure I'd like working with farm animals until I came to Miles Smith Farm Cow Camp," Camp counselor-in-training Rose DeFreitas recently told me.

Despite being stepped on, kicked, and getting dirty, Rose is training calves Ben and Jerry to work as a team. She yokes them up and teaches them to follow simple commands, such as "gee" (right) and "haw" (left).

"They're sweet, I love them, and they're the right size," Rose said. "I hope I can show them at the Sandwich Fair."

Ben and Jerry will continue to be bottle-fed until August 31.
