These are words that as a shepherd you will uter with all your heart and soul at some point! “Breathe!” “Breathe!” “C’mon, breathe!”

I am holding my breath as these words echo off the barn walls! Before me, in the soft light of the barn, kneeling in the straw , is a Shepherd working on a newborn lamb, using every trick he knows to win the fight for the lambs life.

“Breathe!” “Breathe!” “C’mon, breathe!”

He works on the lamb with sure and steady hands. Momma and I stand transfixed, as we watch this man battle. It seems we both know to stay out of his way. Each time he speaks, I can see his breath and hear the worry in his voice. Over and over I hear the same words echo.

“Breathe!” “Breathe!” “C’mon, breathe!”

Once more he massages the lamb and tickles the inside of its nose with straw. There is the slightest movement. The man leans in close and doubles his effort. I hear a faint whisper coming from the man, and I realize it is a prayer. Momma lets out a bawl.

“Breathe!” “Breathe!” “C’mon, breathe!”

The lamb draws its first breath! Then a second! And then another. The man leans back. He takes his hat off, runs his hands through his hair, and lets out a weary sigh. As Momma comes in to nuzzle her live newborn, the man raises his head to look at me.

And I breathe!!!!

“A rattlesnake bit one of my sheep in the face about a week ago. Deadliest snake that lives around here. The sheep’s face swelled up and hurt her terribly.

But the old rattlesnake didn't know the kind of blood that flows through the sheep. Anti-venom is most often made from sheep's blood. The sheep swelled for about 2 days but the blood of the lamb destroyed the venom of the serpent.

I was worried but the sheep didn't care. She kept on eating, kept on drinking and kept on climbing because she knew she was alright.
Don't worry about the serpent or his bite, just make sure that the Lamb's Blood is flowing through your veins.”

Everyone share this please! Help the small farms to help their animals when they are sick and a vet is not available!

I stay off politics as much as I can, but when we advocate daily that everyone should and , it is important to us to also let you know what we deal with so you can make important, educated decisions about where and how your food come from.

Quick update on Tressa - she's down again.

We call 5 vets within an hour of our farm. They either don't want to come out or cannot come out. The lack of large animal veterinarians is severe in the country, and small farmers like us feel this more often than we like to think about. But that's not anyone doing...people choose career paths that's best for them and we can't blame them for it.

So what do we do? Well, we just do it. Literally. We do our own vaccination, we make sure to have proper meds on hand, and we get informed as much as we can. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

If you talk to your farmers, I promise you that all of us want nothing but to treat our animals right. We care about them, even though they are destined to be processed. We love them. That's why we do what we do. So how can we care for them if the government continues to take away our ability to properly care for our animals?

Within weeks, we will no longer have the ability to get most common life-saving medications for our farm animals. Unless you have a vet prescription.

How am I gonna get a prescription if we can't get anyone to come out?

Losing even just one animal - a grown cow, a boar, or even a tiny piglet...it represents not just heartaches but also hundreds (or thousands in some cases) of dollars in lost revenue. And when you are a small business owner - every dollar counts.

So even if I can get a prescription from a vet, I now face added expenses from the vet in addition to the cost of the medication. It's justifiable... our vet, too, is a small business owner and his time is valuable. But you see how this can be avoided altogether?

Help us, please.

Help your farmers. Contact your legislator, congressmen, and any government officials and help us advocate for freedom to care for animals so that we may lower our food cost and increase food access across the nation.

Find your legislator: https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/.../findyourlegislator.html

Contact a member of House Standing Committee for Agriculture: https://legislature.ky.gov/Committees/Pages/Committee-Details.aspx?CommitteeRSN=339&CommitteeType=House%20Standing%20Committee

Thank you. And please pray for Tressa and us today.
