We are creating health and environmental issues by following the lead of the massive chemical companies. There is a better, more profitable way. Check out more of Understanding Ag's resources on their website.

Our livestock guardian dog, Lady, adapted our bottle lamb and takes care of her like one of her own. Just another benefit of having a good LGD! 😁

Lady is pregnant and will be having a litter in about a month.

Lambing is in full swing for our flock. This is the first bottle lamb since we started raising sheep three years ago.

This lamb is a twin and came from a ewe that was also bottle fed in confinement. Is there a connection there? 🤔 The ewe accepts the other twin, but flees from this one even bucking it at times.

While we don't idealize keeping high input animals, our children don't seem to have a problem with it! 😍 They didn't bother eating breakfast, changing out of their pajamas, or even putting their boots on.

His brightness is like the sunlight;
He has [bright] rays flashing from His hand,
And there [in the sunlike splendor] is the hiding place of His power.
