Here is mine!
At least this was my Friday bucket list.........
when a calf reaches the age of 4 weeks and as long as she/he is drinking milk and water well and eating grain, they get to move to a group pen where they are feed in troughs and can run around and frolic with their friends. That means that they no longer live in an individual pen with a water bucket and grain bucket. So once they move on to bigger and better things, those buckets have to be cleaned for the next occupant. I clean them with a commercial acid/chlorine cleanser in 160 degree water. But the last step is a good old fashioned one....
I sit them out in the sun to dry and let natures sanitizer in the sky do its work.
After a few hours, the clean dry buckets are stacked in the grain room to await new arrivals.
I love the little bright bubbles of color against the fading autumn grass...
Life, like the seasons, moving on...
