  • A first time mother cow just had a calf, but she doesn't know which baby is hers! We've got to help them out a bit, and give an update on our calves so far!

    So sorry about Waffle. One thing we all do know is that Waffle was cared about and the little fella knew he was valued and loved. This was a hard video to share, but thank you for letting everyone know of Waffle. I am very glad you still have your head and you were not injured by that wire. God bless you all.

    You're a good man Garrett, & you're doing God's work...I respect a man who treats animals humanely...you really showed how big a heart you have in this video...Waffles was such a sweet little guy, & you really tried hard, right from his birth on that very cold first night, to keep him healthy & strong...however, God took him home early...thank you for this very heartfelt video ❤

    So sorry about Waffle! You work so hard to steward your cattle and for the most part you have success. Thank you for sharing the birth of a new calf and even the sadness of loosing one.

    Waffle..sweet little calf. 😭 I'm so sorry and this makes me so sad. I was so proud to have had a part in naming him. I was looking forward to watching him grow. Garrett, you're a good steward of the land and your animals. I know this isn't the outcome you had hoped for. I also wanted to mention the red heifer you'd like to have one day and I hope it happens. I'll say a little prayer for solid red baby. In the meantime, we'll just keep trusting the Lord and occupy until He comes. God bless you and your family. ❤🙏

      Maxine, you’re the one I was most sad to bring the news to! You named the little fella and I’m sorry I wasn’t able to keep him around but we’ll have more!

      @@behindthewire Garrett, you're so kind. I'm not going to lie, I cried when I heard the news. I felt like he was part mine. I probably sound like I should be in a straight jacket, but, I love cows and horses. I don't know why, I just do. I'm praying for a red heifer for you. They mean alot in Jerusalem these days. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Anyhow, I love watching your channel and I know you love Jesus. My husband and I always love to hear to mention Him at the end of the videos. It's such a blessing to our old hearts. Y'all take care of yourselves and keep looking up. God bless you and those you love.

    I feel terrible that Waffle died. I understand you take care of an animal and they grow on you. Then something happens and their gone. But I believe Waffle will return one day.

    Just as a tribute to Waffle you should keep his twin sister back for a replacement just to see if she might be the 1 in 10 that turns out good,if she turns out a dud you can just keep her for a pet !I’ve only been a sub. For maybe 3 weeks or so,love the channel so keep them coming!🐄🐕

    You know you often make reference to Jesus at the end of your videos. I'm here to tell you, Jesus was looking out for you when that wire took your hat off. Any lower and we wouldn't be watching this video. Perhaps a few stringers hanging as a reminder is a good idea going forward and wires that you have to go under is in order
