Lucy’s First Calf
I can’t explain how much it hurt to see her watching Craig so closely as he did everything he could to save her calf. When we realized there was nothing we could do we watched her continue to clean that sweet baby, to nudge her, to give little grunts talking to her. I sat watching that beautiful creature doing everything right, everything she was supposed to do, and nothing worked.
Life is Better with Cows Around
We don’t actually own cows, now I know what you’re thinking, “What’s up with all the cow pictures then?”
The truth is every cow in our small herd, except for one, belongs to our children. It’s true, every single cow is registered to Dakota, Ty or Gracie. Lucy was a gift from Ty but since she’s commercial she’s not registered.
How did Craig and I end up spending all our time, money and energy on cows that don’t technically belong to either of us? In the words of Elyse Myers, “That’s a great question, I’d love to tell you.”
