The Ups...
The rain was coming...
It RAINED!
We had 2" of rain! Not much by other standards, but we
are very thankful for what we did get.
The Downs..
being moved to a cooler pasture where we could keep an eye on them.
Settling in to their new world.
Brownie is very weak.
We had to feed him thru a tube.
The gray calf...Jasper is strong and walking about.
Sadly, Brownie didn't make it. He tried his best.
Mama Heidi did all she could with our help and TLC,
but he just wasn't strong enough and his lungs were not fully developed.
Brownie was such a sweet little fellow. I got to hug and kiss him. I told him he was a miracle to us and I thanked him for his presence.
It is the part of raising cattle that I DO NOT LIKE.
But Jasper is doing very well!
He wants his Mama!

I don't think I have ever been so excited about rain! It was such a wonderful day. I am sorry to hear about brownie, he looked like a sweet little guy.
What a touching story. There is a change in the weather here too. I can feel Fall in the air. Glad I found your blog.
So sad to hear about Brownie. I know it is part of life on the farm. Glad to hear the rain came. You needed it so bad.
Oh I am glad you got some rain. I am sure more will follow.
Sorry about your calf I know how that one feels. The other one looks healthy and strong. Too bad I am sorry. B
