Cows of all shapes and sizes

Sunday was Daniel’s 14th birthday! Incredible! Like Richard said, we have never regretted one day of our decision to adopt him. He is very dear to us and growing up to be a great young man. The weather was nice enough for us to play cards outside and Daniel won! Richard has been letting him drive around the fields recently.

Iris moves to a new home!

Did not want to waste the meat and knew he was not going to recover. Sadly we soon discovered that his injured... read more
