Our Home |
December 9 - Holly was born yesterday afternoon and spent the night with her momma. We moved her to the nursery this morning, put a warm blanket on her, and gave her a clean dry bed. Holly apparently did not eat much off mum as she is currently in a milk coma after downing almost two bottles (4 quarts) of colostrum! |
The many faces of Sprinkles |
Follow me on Snapchat! I don't post a lot or even every day, but I try haha |
December 11 - When the carpenters are inside the robot box installing freezer strips and the computer freaks out trying to identify the "cow"... haha |
Lazy kittens laying in front of the heater... That one in the middle cracks me up! |

December 16
8 a.m. - Please keep our community in prayer; especially the men and women working hard to get the break fixed at our water plant.
It is in the negative numbers this morning.
As of 4 p.m. - we're out of water.
5 p.m. - We're out of water. Most of the town has been out since last night/this morning. Huge disastrous break at the plant. :(
.
The forecast is no water until noon tomorrow at the earliest.
.
That's a long time when there's cows and calves involved... :/
.
At least it's warmed up a little...it's actually above zero.
Update (9 p.m.): the break is fixed and water is being pumped!
There are 3 towns and lots of tanks and pipe that have to be filled, however, so it's still going to be a while before there is water everywhere.
Update Saturday, December 17 (8 a.m.) - We have water! And a snow storm!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
You know you're a farmHer when the animals come first, even on Christmas.

Until next year . . .
