The Herd + One........

Our "Herd" has grown!

Yesterday, the little Longhorn calf was born.  He is a little bull calf and his name is

"Chencho"

We had hoped to get them moved from the Thorn Ranch to our home before the little

calf was born and we were about one week away.....

Uncle Dave said that when he realized "Chencho" had been born, he went into the pasture to

check him out....as you can see from the above picture...the Daddy bull was not happy and chased him

around a bit.  He said he wasn't sure if  "Nacho" the bull was teasing him or if he really wanted to

poke him with those big horns on his head.  Whatever his intentions were...Uncle Dave didn't hang

around to find out.  He moved quickly....after he took these great pictures of the new member

of our "herd."  It was a fun night in our house last night...The Boy said that this week just couldn't

get any better!  It really feels like Heavenly Father is giving The Boy some really special experiences

with these animals that he loves so much....before he leaves on is mission.

The Mom is really grateful for these tender mercies, that make The Boy so happy!

I am pretty sure I never planned to own Longhorns....or horses....or chickens....or farms.....this isn't

really how I saw my life when I was a teenager....but I do love everything about my life and am

grateful daily to live where I live...... and do what we do.
***Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!!***
We will be celebrating .....mas tarde!
