Thankful Thursday Our Beautiful Girls


I have spent the last couple of days learning more about talking to others about what it is we actually do every day in agriculture while in Memphis, TN.  I wanted to share some pictures of the girls that I have taken over the last couple of weeks.  We are just a few weeks from calving and can't wait to see the new babies.

    I always wonder about horses and cows in the cold and snow, how do they manage! Will you bring them in a barn when it's time for the births?

      Kathy, our cows and horses actually stay out all year long. They grow thick winter coats and we make sure they have plenty of body fat to keep them warm. If a cow or calf has some kind of trouble when the calf is born, they might be moved for the barn for a few days, but never long term. I have seen baby calves born outside when the temperatures were well below zero and within 15 minutes their mamas have them dried off and the calves are standing up nursing. They are truly amazing animals to watch. When we start calving, I will post some more information for you.
