Summer starts




So busy, the crias are growing at an almost alarming rate. Rose Rain is already 60lbs at only 2 1/2 months. Chocolate is not far being her. Little Rowdy is still lagging, but slower is Almost. We discovered that Almost's mother was refusing to let him nurse. The poor little guy was keeping himself alive by eating anything he could get down, but nothing compare's to milk for babies. Now he is on a feeding program of milk supplement twice a day. He has started to play a little now that he isn't only surviving. This is why we weight our crias frequently as they grow, sometimes it's the only way to know if there is something wrong.
All the Barn Swallows have hatched and are now flying around madly. So much fun to watch them. In the evening as it cools down, the swallows dip and swirl, crias buck and play, and we give thanks for the beauty all around.
