So, I have failed miserably about updating this farm page!! I apologize!!
We have a new farm “ornament”! I thought cookie would be our last baby to raise on the bottle, but with farming, every day brings new challenges!
This year we were blessed with Sky!
Sky was born a little early, weighing in at a measly 28 pounds when I found her. She is out of true Brangus x Brangus stock and somehow she is soooo colorful. Sky had to be taught how to stand, how to walk, how to nurse, and how to become everyone’s new favorite on the farm, of course.
Sky’s mother never produced milk after sky was born and had an uphill fight of her own as she was battling Bovine Leukemia and Anaplasmosis. Both of which are the deadliest, incurable diseases in cattle. Sky’s mom passed two weeks ago to the day and Sky has been learning to cope without her biological mother around. She has, however, made a new family! She has been penned with a few other farm favorites and has been moved to my barn. She spends her days with Mrs.Oreo and Cookie and absolutely loves to aggravate each of them to death!
Today Sky is a month and 10 days old and is the spunkiest little girl on the farm!
So, everyone, say hello to our new forever friend, Sky!!!
P.S. My lovely wife, Natalie, named her Sky due to her rare Sky Blue eyes! Sky is our little genetic anomaly!
P.S.(2) I strive to be the best “shepherd” that I can be to our cattle, I am a work in progress but I know that I can’t meet every need that needs to be met. However, just as I strive to be the best shepherd that I can be for my cattle, I know the true shepherd! The Bible says in John 10:11, “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” There’s not a single thing or need that our Almighty Shepherd, Jesus Christ, can’t meet! My prayer is that if you have a need in your life, I pray that you call it out to him. Let Jesus meet your needs!!!
