    I really, really like your gentle way of weaning. Ive never seen that before, and it always broke my heart to hear the cow's desperate cries for her baby when it was time to wean. The mother instinct to love and protect that God put into all of us makes me not want to do that to any animal. This seems so much easier on them both, and what a great job you all are doing helping them gently through it!❤ Thank you for showing us this!

    Congratulations on the new baby, Sunny, and a healthy mom! Love seeing Sunny already trying to butt the chicken. Your method of raising a brand new baby is one I would subscribe to if I were a farmer. It is so much less stressful. I've heard the ruckus when babies are weaned the other way, and it's terrible!
    I always enjoy watching your family life on the farm, RuthAnn. Thank you for sharing.

    So sweet. Baby farm animals are so cute 🥰. I laughed watching her trying to play with the chicken. I know zero about any of this, and yes I see how some people want to equate human emotions to animals, and there is a mother instinct at play here with Brenda when she can’t see her calf but she doesn’t seem upset that Sunny isn’t drinking from her. That’s where human feelings get confused I think. As I said I know zero about any of this, but I know that you treat your animals very well and are very knowledgeable about them. I totally trust you to see to their best care. I know there was some confusion about this on Instagram.

    This is so wonderful. There is a new homesteading and self sufficiency movement. So many of those beginning have so much to learn. Also, those who were fortunate to be raised in the lifestyle, but need to remember how and why again are just loving your and your family's sharing your life. Well, in my circle anyway. I mean really, don't we all have favorite dishes that we haven't memorized or need to make sure we have the proportions right? Its the same way with chores and work. I'm a great grandma now. Even so, my hands move to your rhythms and work. I have such a sweet spot for the manners and look of the Jerseys and their sweet calves. And the pigs, though my hair still raises on the back of my neck in caution to a mama sow. LOL. I am missing my sister who has gone before me to the arms of our Lord. You all remind me of us.
