Thanks to everyone for praying. Aaron's mom came back to Amber's last night around midnight. She is not doing good. She is definitely in a serious depression phase right now. She told Amber she spent her time away praying that God would let her die because she can't handle everything anymore. She has a psych appointment tomorrow morning in Montrose and Aaron's grandma is picking her up this afternoon to take her down there. Just pray for both of them because it is going to be very stressful until the appointment and even then I'm not sure what the psych can do for her. She really needs help from some of the government programs available but of course government red tape is slowing all of that on and everybody is just having to try to hang on for now hoping that they will come through soon. I am not sure what they are going to do about her possible kidney problems. I think the goal now is just to get her to her appointment tomorrow and then go from there.
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 ...
