I remember being kinda bummed when this little sweetheart was born because he was perfect, but he was a bull calf…I wanted a heifer I could keep…but the way this guy is maturing is making me change my mind. I was wrong. I think it will be fun to add a white face to some highland babies when he’s big enough.

I’ve been a little absent from this page lately….my kiddos show livestock in the summer and it’s been keeping us super busy. Long hours and hard work, but we sure love it and I especially love the lessons it is teaching them. The first show is in just a couple days. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

***growing up post***

Our girl, Rally, is so pretty. 🤍 I’m excited about this one! She doesn’t love me yet….but she will! 😉 She loves treats, so it’s only a matter of time.

I love to watch these babies grow, so I thought I would share some growing up pictures. Check out the color changes in Darla….she’s 7 months old now and is going to be a pretty girl! People pay big money for highlights like these. 🤣

The fall calves are in the weaning pen and it’s time for them to learn to love me. Stay tuned. ❤️

We FINALLY wrapped up our first calving season, so I think we need to have a “cutest baby” contest! Pick your favorite and vote. 🤎🤍🖤

Happy Easter everyone!!!! I’ve always loved this holiday…it’s all about spending time with family, celebrating the miracle of new life, and focusing on our blessings.

This beautiful little peanut was born at our place today (after waiting FOREVER!) and she added some extra joy to one of my favorite days of the year. A bunch of us were celebrating Easter at my parent’s house and Josh had ran home to check on Charlotte for me because she didn’t eat breakfast this morning…he called to say that she was calving and ALL of us went to meet the new baby. I love that I got to share this with my family!

As a way to celebrate all of this, we are going to call her Trinity. ❤️

I spent part of the rainy morning hanging out with Charlotte and gave her a pep talk about how it’s definitely time for her to let me meet her baby. She’s so sweet, but seems pretty relaxed…I’m not sure she listened. Uggh! 🤍

These fluffy little butts were not where they belonged this morning, but they’re so cute that I can’t even be mad. Just taking them for a little walk back to the pasture. 🥰

Today, I want to give a shout out to my farm kids…and ALL farm kids! They know how to work hard and, most importantly, how to work hard without complaining.

Chores aren’t the most glamorous job and they aren’t always acknowledged…but the work they do is SO important and I’m thankful for their help. They are outside feeding and watering every morning before it’s light out regardless of the weather…and when it’s this cold, they do it all again in the evening.

I pray that I’m setting them up for success later in life by instilling the work ethic and values that come with growing up on a farm. And I’m so thankful for this life! ❤️

It has been brutally cold here for the last 10 days…we have just a few more days of below zero temperatures, but then it sounds like we will get a much needed break. With windbreaks, deep bedding, water, and plenty of extra feed, the cows are doing great!

I love this bull! 🥰 Dozer isn’t quite old enough to have a date for Valentine’s Day this year, but I’m already excited about the possibilities for next year!

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season! Merry Christmas!

Before there was a tree, there was a manger

Before there were Christmas song channels on the radio, there were choirs of angels

Before there were family gatherings and employee shindigs, there were wise men and shepherds staring at a star in the sky

Before there was the warmth and brightness of the season, there was a world full of cold and darkness

Then, He was born
Born of flesh and born of God
The light of the world, born to drive out the darkness
Given by God to pay for our sins

He came to save, and save He did
And He continues to save the lost, the brokenhearted, the lonely, and the shattered

He came for the imperfect people- for every one of us
He prepares a place in heaven for all who believe
He lives in our hearts, waiting for us to search Him out

Of all the gifts you receive this year, I pray you are blessed with the peace He brings to our world. Today, and every day.

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

From my herd to yours, Merry Christmas!
