Cow that is… We are feeding a bottle calf. She’s the cutest thing and Bizkit loves her ( I think he is under the impression we brought her home for HIM ). If it wasnt so cold out I would go take some more pictures. But BRRRRRRRRR it is cold


Brady pinned a kid and won his first wrestling match this week

Reid lost BOTH of his front teeth this week

A week in our busy life in pictures!

I am not getting enough sleep…. I am NEVER bored… and here are two of the reasons why..


The kids and puppy keep me so busy I am pretty sure the words “sleep deprived” are my middle name this month!
We are calving cattle , kidding goats , and it snowed…. which means we have been getting up every 2 - 3 hours to “check” the livestock. It has not been a good week. We lost some baby goats in the bitter cold even though they were in the sheds. Poor little things just had no chance.. It was 2 degrees here the night a set of twins was born. My two mama goats are looking for them still…. I am so sad! We lost a calf the same day, but found a replacement for the mama and thank goodness they loved each other without much coaxing so at least that mama has a baby now. Today I watched a calf being born in a not so gentle way ( had to “pull ” it ) but the miracle of birth is still that.. and I am seeing it several times a day lately.
