Welcome to the farm

This morning we took a trip to a farm an hour away.  We picked up Moe and Curly our two new steers. They were greeted by all of the animals running after them.  They just needed to check out the two new critters.  Seeing this, I'm wondering if the little lambs when they get out of their pen should go into the alternate pasture for a few weeks.
Follow the leader?
 In the picture above is Curly, Moe, Ethan and Norman.  The schedule for butchering is 2020, 2019, May 8th (this year) and 2018.  It will be nice to have a freezer full of beef soon.  I was surprised that butcher shops only slaughter one day a week.  I am learning something new.
Curly
 Look at those little locks on Curly's forehead.  They were more profound when he was young.  He is 8 weeks old.  Moe is about 3 months old.  (Sorry, I couldn't help the naming convention.)
