5 Minuites.....

After over 2 inches of rain — better late than never — Northern Arkansas finally got some much-needed moisture. We were getting VERY dry here.

And right in the middle of it all… came a special delivery from 7-year-old Theresa.

I anticipated “other” potential issues from her more than what we actually got Theresa, like her mama Stormy and sister, Paris an overachiever. She’s been on a special diet for the last month and housed with calmer does to help keep her settled.

Well… her twin boys decided to arrive in an absolute tangled mess.

Kids are basically rubber bands… all legs, twists, and chaos. (Don’t touch that cord though )

By the end of it, we were all a little extra squeezed, exhausted, stressed, muddy, and emotionally spent. It was 3 AM before the little white kid finally stood fully on his own....had both kids plugged in multiple times over the last 16 hours or so - before both were up and stabilized -

Today...I’m incredibly grateful for a warm barn, experience, determination, and the ability to stay hands-on when animals truly need help.

This isn’t just a cute farm story.

It’s a story of resilience, hard-earned success, and the level of care that goes into good livestock management. Theresa is an older, mature dairy doe in excellent shape — and even then, she had a difficult kidding.

Truthfully… in many farm settings, these three likely would not have survived.

,Mama and both boys are here. Tired. Sore. Alive. And that matters

and not on a bottles - what we breed for
