Down on the Farm is my first calendar devoted to our many devoted livestock fans. Curious sheep and goats, proud geese and ducks, a watchful cat and playful dog, peaceful cows, a rabbit, a rooster, a horse, turkeys and even a sweet donkey grace the pages of this large wall size calendar.

2012 Horse, Chicken and Barn Cat Calendars are Here!

I am so excited. Just picked up the first run of 2012 Large Wall sized calendars from my printer in Menomonie, Wisconsin. They are all crisp and have that new paper smell.

This years offerings are HORSEPLAY, BARN CATS, and CHICKENS-LIGHT AND DARK.

You can find them on my Etsy site: http://www.etsy.com/shop/barbaraobrienphoto or if you are close by I will hand deliver them to you just so we can have a cup of coffee and catch up with each other.

It was so much fun deciding what to shoot and what to put into the calendars this year. The little yellow chicks in the Chickens - Light and Dark calendar almost didn't make it. Lucky for me they were hatched the day I had to turn the artwork over to the printer. Kevin was outside doing chores when he spotted the mother hen with her brood and told me to come quick. We quickly locked up the cats, (who would happily had the chicks for lunch) grabbed the baby chicks, set them on the hay bale, and got the shot. We then put the Momma hen and her babies in an old calf hut with a gate across the front so they could grow a bit bigger before turning them out with the cats.

FUN!

Wild Bill and Mr. Fugly.

This fellow's name is Wild Bill. He gets that name as he has quite the way with the ladies. He is a white Leghorn Rooster. He would like to think that he is top dog as it were, but he is not.

That honor goes to his fellow. Mr. Fugly. We don't know what he is. His mother hatched him out and his dad could have been any number of roosters we had at the time. Poor Mr, Fugly, He may not be much to look at, but the ladies love him and he is the king of all he sees. Even the dogs leave him alone.

A few more of Wild Bill. He spends a lot of time talking the big talk, but will run away if Mr. Fugly comes around.

One of the ladies they spend so much time fighting over. Her name is Grace. All of the speckled hens like her are named Grace. All of the red ones are named Ruth. All the white ones are named Gladys. And all the ducks are named Richard. Don't laugh, It just makes thing easier.
