A Break in the Action


Well, its been a very busy week since our last chance to post something here. To date we have 18 kids - 6 boys, 12 girls. Not quite half the nannies have kidded.


This is a brother - sister set of twins born on the 21st.



A group shot of week old kids playing in a corner of the barn.



Another section of the barn with nannies waiting their turn and one very frisky one year old.


And at the end of each busy day we get to see a beautiful picture courtesy of mother nature.
Don't get me wrong, its hard work and there's heartbreak along with the highlights. This morning we delivered a breech kid that did not live. This is the story of farming and the story of life. We try to learn something from each disappointment and realize it is all part of the circle of life.
24 Days 'Til Spring.
