When you were smushed in your momma and your human used to be an adult trauma and peds orthopedic nurse you get wicked awesome leggings to straighten you out!

What a busy couple of weeks…
After losing our sweet Mushroom 3 weeks ago, we knew that we had to replace him with another bull, whether our hearts were ready or not…who would’ve thought you could love a dang bull, right?! He was my heart cow…IYKYK. Well, meet Romulus of Black Hills Highlands from Little Lucky Cattle Company, aka “Romeo.” He is an amazing boy who has already started to steal our hearts.
But wait, there’s more…kidding season should have been called kidding week! It’s almost like we AI’d the girls…holy cow! We had 11 kids in 5 days (8 of which were in 24 hrs)! Sadly, we lost a triplet girl at birth and a different doe baby 24 hrs later, despite trying absolutely everything. Ranch life really sucks sometimes. But, a rejected buck is now Chad’s bottle baby shadow named “Recon.” With only one doe left to go in a few weeks we’ll be done with kids just in time for our first mini moo baby!

Just enjoying the view on this fine day. I feel so blessed and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!

Well our naming theme for our 2025 kids is changing after today’s baby…Meet “Sully,” our MONSTER singlet buck kid by Tulie Creek’s Ophelia and Moonlit Mountain’s Jafar! He was born looking like a 2 week old with horn buds and all! We have one more momma laboring tonight, just not sure if she’s gonna make a midnight deadline…time to add some names to previous posts…

Well, Day 2 of kidding season brought 3 more babies. Moonlit Mountain’s Jill and Jafar gave us a sweet girl (“Boo”), and Tulie Creek’s Stella and MM’s Jafar gave us boy girl twins (“Celia” and “Mike”)! 5 more mommas to go…

And…kidding season has begun while calving season is still coming to a close! Tulie Creek’s Nova and Moonlit Mountain’s Jafar just blessed us with 2 bucklings to get things kicked off! Meet “Frank” and “Randall” (also our Dad’s names, but see later posts for actual theme this year)! It’s gonna be a busy weekend!

What a beautiful day to meet some new friends…Fergus aka Mushroom, Fiona, “Sass” and Maisie all got to finally meet!

Our herd is almost complete! We brought 2 more of our minis home yesterday from Cupcake Cattle! These girls definitely have some personality. We are still pondering on their new names…
Black highland- (formerly Nancy) now (probably) Sassenach “Sass” for short. She is sweet and sassy all at the same time, lol.
White Highpark- (formerly Tulip) now (likely) Maisie. She is super sweet and talks a lot right now, lol
After a week in ye ole’ quarantine stall they will get to meet some new friends 😊 They are loving the cooler weather thus far.

Our Handsome guy…he’s such a stud muffin! I can’t wait until we go get his ladies and our other bull at the end of the month.
