Just a quick note to ask for everyone to pray for Aaron's mom. She walked out the door of Amber's (Aaron's sister's) house last night into the cold with her little dog Ziggy. She refused to take her cell phone with her. She was gone all night and no one has seen her today. Amber was going to go report her missing to the police so if they see her they can pick her up and take her somewhere warm. Aaron's mom is bipolar and she left Amber's house because she got mad at her because Amber didn't have money to buy her cigarettes. This is obviously really stressful for the whole family but there is not much anyone can do at this point. Reporting it to the police is about all anyone knows to do. Several family members have gone out looking for her around the neighborhood and Aaron's aunt called the homeless shelters but they would not give her any information although they did say no dogs are allowed so it is very likely that Aaron's mom did not stay there last night. Just pray that his mom will find some safe warm places to spend the night and that someone will find her soon. She said she was having bleeding when she went to the bathroom before she left. We don't know for sure if this is true but if it is, it is even more concerning that she is out wondering around when she probably needs to be in the hospital. I'll keep everyone updated if I find out anything else. Thanks for your prayers.
It looks like the last update I posted on animals was about going to the sale barn and getting cows. As a reminder we got a calf/cow pair and a "weaned" calf: Chloe, Midnight, and Mooey. Chloe and midnight are some kind of black angus mix and midnight is part Holstein. Midnight and Mooey will eventually be our meat cows. We hope to AI Chloe sometime in the near future for another calf. Midnight, her calf pictured below (much littler in the pic than he is now) is a very good looking steer. He could go to the fair if he wanted. This is a picture of him getting out of his fence and coming in the yard. He still gets out from time to time. Having a mama calf keeps both the steers in line though. They are much better about not getting crazy, unlike some other steers we could name from the past, but won't. We ended up having to feed quite a bit of hay this winter as we had snow cover from November to end of March. We got our barn built about January and began collecting more ...
