Hope you get some sleep. Grats, even though it's not a girl. He'll make someone many happy meals down the road.

Farming is sitting with a newborn lamb & momma for 4 hours to make sure they are both okay. Then checking every 2 hours from there 12, 2, 4, 6. Its freezing, a painful cold but they matter. You destroy your clothes, personal items and expend every resource you have to make them comfortable & safe. Because they matter. Farming is about the wellbeing of your animals, not your comfort or cleanliness or appearance. The animals always come first, no matter the sacrifices.

- Just my thoughts while freezing last night and trying to keep momma happy & baby warm. I’d do anything for my animals.

I can’t seem to get a break! Sorry for not being able to update sooner. Little guy who I have named Oleg is doing really well now! As spunky as ever and is loving playing with Niko my first born this season. I’ve got one more pregnant you that I think is due in about two weeks. I’m on the search for more user iridium pairs though and pregnant use so we’ll see how that all pans out, it is surprisingly hard to find them around me :hit
