Our Animals

Papa gave me my own colt today!  I think I will name her Blue because Little Bluestem Tallgrass is her favorite to eat.  She is a little small, and Papa says I need to watch her carefully.

We have a lot of cattle and horses now.  They love to graze on all of the naturally wild prairie grass and some of them seem like they eat all day long!  It is fun to have horses and cattle, but I miss the prairie dogs.  Now that the livestock graze on the prairie grass, the prairie dogs have found new homes further away in prarie grass that is undisturbed.  I will miss playing games with them.
