The farm comes to life.....













I remember watching Charlotte's Web when I was a kid, and you know the part where it's spring and everything is being born and coming back to life? that's how it feels here too..... We officially have all three calves on the ground, and they are all bull calves. I have the longhorn cross and one of the zebu and their calves for sale. Also, our donkey went out one day and didn't come back to the pen at night. Alas, a few days later, we spotted her walking with a baby donkey behind! What a surprise! We have a new Pyrennes puppy that we hope someday will be extra protection for our flocks. We finally got 3.5 inches of blessed rain and hoping the pasture can take off and keep the cattle fed! What a relief not to have to water the garden every single day. It seems to have flourished with the rainfall. Isn't it amazing how they love the rain? Our pond is about twice as full. Ward has spent several days hunting snakes down there. Cottonmouths! ICK!
