One thing I love about winter is the beautiful sunny days where its warm enough to just go be with the animal. I felt that Pickles was in need of some extra attention so he got to come into the barn yard area for some 1-on-1 attention and special treatment. He seemed to enjoy it as much as me ❤

Well our weather is calling for some rain this evening and then a quick drop in temperatures. We will go from the 50s down to 17° in 12 hours 🥶 Since I cant trust the horses to make good decisions to stay out of the rain and we dont want wet bodies to becone frozen bodies everyone gets to come into the barn for the night. I dont think any of them actually understand why they are in the barn on the warmest evening we have had in December but they will understsoon enough.

I will say I absolutely love our animals. Each horse is so easy to walk out, put a halter on and take into the their area. Even the sheep came in on their own with a temptation of some grain. No fuss, just trust ❤

Welcome to the ranch "Last Chance To Be A Hero" aka Hero aka Baby C**t! Hero is a 2 year old standardbred that was a bit slow on the track so he is here for a few months to see if he can find his speed 😁 Hero has been on quarantine as a precaution and he has been very excited to meet the others once his quarantine was over.
I have a feeling him and Soldier will get into a lot of mischief together 😂

Well it got cold last night at about 8° 🥶 but little Stevie stayed warm with a little extra help from a heat lamp. He is growing well and is eating hay, grain and although I'd prefer if he didnt, chicken food plus he is getting 2 bottles a day. We will drop down to 1 bottle a day next week before weaning him completely off.

Our approach to caring for our animals in these cold temperatures is shelter, heated water and plenty of free choice forage. Even though that typically is enough sometimes some animals require a bit more assistance. As you can see Copper gets to sport his pretty coat to help keep him warm. He didn't have as much time to adapt and put on a good winter coat so he required a little bit more help to stay warm. If all that fails then that is when I am so thankful to have a barn to offer even more comfort on these cold days. Freedom of choice and movement is still a top priority so we try not to take that away unnecessarily by stalling.

Sometimes I will take a moment and just relax in the field to recenter. I rarely feel lonely while doing so as you can see. Soldier always makes me question his judgement 😁🧘‍♀️⚖️

So a part of having a visually impaired lamb we weren't prepared for is how to transition him into the barn and our flock. He has no interest in our sheep and our sheep really dont care about him which isnt unusual at this age but we typically have other lambs of similar ages for our bottle lambs to play with. Stevie really enjoys being outside in the barn but he wants us and the dogs to live with him in the barn and thats not going to happen 😅 So we are trying to find the best way to transition him. He would probably do better with a buddy that is his age but we dont have any and I really dont want him in the back yard with the dogs after his little swim in the pond the other day so we are trying to navigate this as best as possible. Any ideas or recommendations are welcomed ❤

This is Hudson, if you dont know him you should 💖 He is our protector although most of his days are filled with holding down the couch making sure it doesn't get away but in those other moments he is our constant companion making sure all is well. He has had many moments where he showed what a gentle giant he really is like when Stevie got caught up in the hay bale netting and he sat calmly with him until help came or the many snuggles he offer to anyone in need. Well today was a bit different. Today while we were in the pasture working Stevie somehow fell into our pond without us knowing it and from what we can discern from the aftermath it looks like Hudson helped pull him out. When we found them Stevie was shacking off the water and he had slobber all over his head and neck. Hudson front legs and chest were wet as well and you can see where he was at the ponds edge 🤯 Both are currently inside getting warm and poor little Stevie seems a bit stunned but otherwise unharmed thanks Hudson. We are so grateful that Hudson chose us to be hus family a year and half ago...not bad for some stray dog running the corn fields 🤩
