Kerry’s little girl has a name.
Meet Echo. We gave her this name because she echos Moms spot. Also she takes her name seriously and echos her spot on both sides.
We will not be naming Kerry’s little boy because giving him a name would make it harder to sell him (Brigette Adams Photos)
(Brigette took this photo of Sassy last week.)
Sassy, short for Sassafras, was born March 16 with a severe cleft palate. She was challenged from the beginning, being unable to nurse. We knew that her odds weren’t all that great.
Of course she gained a special place in our hearts. She was sweet and loving. And, we [...]

Ivy (right) with Willow and Brigette.
We may never know what happened to Ivy. The vet thinks it might have been a twisted bowel, but says even a postmortem exam would probably be inconclusive.
Our friend Traci brought a Bobcat over today and dug a hole for us. Then we said goodbye to Ivy. She rests in [...]
We tried bottle feeding Willow last night and she chewed on the the nipple a little. I think she was to upset because we had put her in with the other kids. A couple kids started picking on her because she is new and younger. We decided to put her and Sassy in a separate space. Sassy doesn’t [...]
Willow became an orphan tonight. Her mom, Ivy, hasn’t been affected by any of the flu-like symptoms going through the herd this spring. Until a few hours ago, she seemed perfectly healthy. Then about 12:30 this morning, she began to moan in pain. She appeared bloated, and we were getting ready to treat her for [...]
