Making a tough, boring job fun!

Making a tough, boring job into fun!
Thank you Sunil and Jonathan!
Bye bye boats!
Continuing cleanup at the new farm!
Meet our newest arrivals! Three-year-old steers, Mocha and Chocolate,  arrived today. We are so excited to see them. Both of them are such love bugs, giving us a lot of kisses.
Mocha, the lighter one with horns is a Jersey steer. Chocolate, the darker one with no horns is a mixed breed of some sort, to be determined.
We can’t wait for them to get out of quarantine so they can join the herd.

Life with a naughty water buffalo- Tundra!
Xoxo

Oh Daisy. We can always count on you to be….you.

My struggle is real lol. A water buffalo who does NOT want to get wet in the rain (he loves hoses tho!)
For those of you who ask me if i ever go in his pen with him…..of course I do… just not when hes acting like a temper tantum spoiled brat.

If I fits, I sits.
And if I don’t, I will try and try again.
Those that say it can’t be done should stay out of the way of those doing it.

Even at age 8, Daisy (left) can still hold her own with the younger girls! Look how both hind feet clear the ground!

Snow storm 2/13/24
While it is very beautiful to look at, it is so hard to work in. 12 inches of snow is not a lot, but when you average 15,000-20,000 steps a day, the snow, boots and cleats start feeling very heavy when you have to lift your feet so high . The wet snow really sticks to the netting over the bird pen. Normally it falls through the holes, but when the flakes are that fat, it doesn’t take much to totally cover it and bring it down. With the weather being below freezing every day for the next 10 days, it’s gonna be here for a while too.
Horse shenanigans on Valentine’s Day!
Does Takota want McKenzie’s phone to call a secret boyfriend? Or to stab her existing boyfriend Zeus (he is a real bossy pain in butt and he ate her flowers). Or is it just cookie crumbs?
What do YOU think?

Did you know that some water buffalo think they are allergic to rain?

A day in the life of a farm animal rescuer’s overalls …..
Day 27: Decision made to hold a 200 pound goat’s head with horns between my knees, while attempting to single-handedly give a ’quick’ shot. It resulted in a 100 yard mad dash across the field, face down the wrong way on the goat’s back, trying to get the horn out of the pant leg in order to get off in one piece.
Restart coverall day count at Day 1 AM: pink was only color in my size, nice and clean!
Day 1 PM: I give up on keeping clean. Everyone in the grocery store already thinks I’m weird, so what’s the difference?
