Did you know cows have babysitters? Next time you see a herd of cows in a field look for the babysitter. It's not always the same cow. Sometimes it's the bull. When you see a group of calves laying down, there will be an adult ( I've seen my yearling steers do it ) laying with them or grazing near them. That's the babysitter!

Finally Black Betty had a calf (bam-ba-lam)🎵😂

I understand that the name can be confusing, but we do not sell hay.

Journey is at Coosa Valley Equine . She choked on feed on Sunday. It was cleared then, but she continued to show symptoms of distress so Blake took her yesterday morning. She will be there another night and hopefully come home tomorrow. If you get a moment say a prayer for this gentle giant.

I think sometimes that the animals know where to come when they are injured or sick. This heron showed up this morning. Injected a few minnows with antibiotics. She's eating food. I'll watch her for a few days before releasing her

I need a black and white image to put on the front pocket of our t shirts. The back will have the Fifty Shades of Hay sign. Which would you choose ? cow, goat, sheep, chicken, donkey, duck or turkey. Feel free to add any other images you think would be cute.

Not my words

“Were you “raised in a barn"?
People say, “You act like you were raised in a barn", like it's a bad thing.
I was raised in a barn and that's where I learned the most important lessons in life.
I watched life begin and end in a barn.
I discovered hard work builds character and killed no one.
I learned respect, love and compassion.
I realized sometimes optimism is the only way to keep going.
I found sometimes you have to let go even when it breaks your heart.
I dreamed and learned to never give up on those dreams.
I failed and kept trying until I succeeded.
I gained confidence in myself and my abilities.
I understand you have to stand for what you believe in.
The next time someone tells you that you act like you were raised in a barn, THANK THEM because I can't think of a better compliment.”

I only get to do a few petting zoos a year. They are all free. What I get in return makes me rich though. Really hope that in 2022 we get to go see some nursing home residents.

Journey will be out in the pasture today. Come by and meet this gentle giant. She has been bathed( pretty sure that was a first for her). She still needs to put on some weight and she's been started on supplements for her joints.

Show this big girl some love! Journey came from a kill pen in Mississippi. Thanks to all who donated to make her rescue possible! I still can't believe we did this! I cannot thank all of you enough!
