Some of you have asked me about farm Life. Gosh!! Where to start. Its hard and demanding. Its also rewarding not necessarily financially, but that's not everything either. Its a way of life. Its all we have ever known. I cant remember not being responsible for feeding and taking care of some type of livestock. Farming becomes your life. Its a beautiful sunset a new born calf. The first crops of the season. It also has disappointments when you work hard and the rain doesn't come or the calf you tried so hard to save doesn't make. All these things make you stronger. It
takes a lot of Faith to Farm. You cant control much of anything. Make your decisions the best you can and leave the rest to the Lord.
  Last week was hard. We sold a cow that was 12 years old. That's old for a dairy cow. She was a good girl. It just comes a time when you have to let them go. Some are harder than other because they have a personality and have become pets. We take care of all the girls. We have a great support team. A great veterinarian, nutritionists and mating service. They all help us keep them happy and healthy. How may people have a nutritionist's? WE DON'T!!! but our girls do. They have a complex digestive system. Their ration needs to be balanced for them to produce milk and be healthy. They also see the vet more than we see a doctor. The vet did a minor surgery on a cow last week. She's doing great. While he was here he listened to Cheyenne's tummy. Their was Heartbeats!!! She is due around the 16 of febuary. We have the basement all fixed up waiting on there arrival.
I think Farming helps to bring you closer to GOD. With HIS Blessings you are helping to take care of HIS Creations.
