First day with her new legs😉🧡
This was just about 45 minutes after this sweet little heifer was born yesterday morning.
I was blessed to be there to see it all🐮

This little guy is so friendly that it's almost annoying- he is constantly bugging us for attention and feed. If you ignore him he just licks you til you pay attention 😅
Gives new meaning to the word cowlick🐮

He thinks I can't see him 😂
I scolded him for trying to get thru the water gap in the fence and now he's trying to hide from me.

How about a cute bull calf to start off the week🧡
Meet Marshal 🐮
(His registered name will be SCC U.S. Marshal). He's almost 4 months old.

I wanted to take time to thank you all for all your caring words and sentiments on the loss of my sweet Millie🐮
Your kindness is much appreciated.
Here's one of my favorite photos of Millie (taken in September 2022).

In order... Cash, Nora, Mavis, Cowgirl, Sadie, Donnie, Sadie's calf, Reba, & that's stubborn Loretta that wouldn't come in.

Oh happy day!
We finally got hay bought for the winter and hubby hauled it in last weekend. None too soon either- because of the drought we had to start feeding it out this week.
If you're the praying kind we'd appreciate prayers for rain🙏💧

I never really understood what 'mean mugging' meant until this little heifer looked at me after I woke her up😂😂
If looks could kill😬😂

Our gentle giant 'Dusty'🧡
He's been my daughter's pet since he was a calf. He's 5 years old now. For those wondering, his horns were 88" tip to tip last time we measured him in December.

Cold front brought about a 1/4" of rain and made a pretty photo backdrop for Miss Millie🐮. Wonder how many storm fronts she's seen in her 23 years...

Haven't been on here a lot lately because Covid has overtaken our house. 12 yr old daughter is on day 9 of having it. It got ahold of me almost a week ago, & now hubby has gotten it as well. If you're so inclined we would appreciate your prayers. 🙏💙
Well, it's not Monday, and her name's not Millie, but she's getting almost as spoiled as Millie was. This is Mabel.
Millie was her best buddy so she was trained by the best🐮🧡

We call this guy "Heartbreaker"🐮
He's the biggest bull calf that we've ever raised- and out of a first time heifer too! He'll make a great herd sire when he grows up.

Miss 'Cowgirl' had her calf Saturday night. My hubby happened to be there to see it being born.
Here's the little guy on Sunday afternoon. I snuck in some pets while he was laying in the sun resting up from his entrance into the world 🐮🧡

Thanks to everyone checking on us after the storms! Tornadoes were close but we're good. Finding tornado debris in our pastures.
Video is of Pennington Creek out our front door. It's usually just deep enough you can barely walk thru it. North of Tishomingo, OK.

Watched this cow all day yesterday cuz I could tell she was going to calve. Had to leave for a few hours for daughter's softball game(which got rained out-yay for the rain tho) & she calved while I was gone. 2nd pic is her this afternoon🧡

July 12. Today would have been Miss Millie's 24th birthday 🐮
She's been gone for 3 months now. I never expected the following she gained here on Twitter. I'm thankful for the connections I've made with you all because of her🧡

Here comes trouble.
Seriously, his name is Trouble.
SCC Troublemaker to be exact.
He's one of our pet steers- 5 years old.
The other one is a 4 year old pet steer named Goose. He's a big sweetheart 🐮

You ever feel like you're being watched?🐮😂
I included a pic of her without the fencepost just to show you how good she is at hiding😉

She's about a week away from calving- sure hope she has nice weather when the time comes🙏

Sometimes you just gotta scratch that itch 😀
People often ask if longhorns know where the tips of their horns are- I'll just let Miss Reba show you 🐮

Triple trouble 😄🐮
The calves are all figuring out how tasty feed is. They come in the pen & munch on a little feed then go back out and wash it down with their mama's milk.

Forgive me for bragging, but I can't help myself- our boy Hickory won Reserve Grand Champion at The Legends Futurity today in Duncan, OK! This is his first ever futurity. He won us a Henry rifle, & a P&C longhorn working chute. We're beyond thrilled!!

posts. On this day of remembrance I thought I'd share a photo of her from a couple years ago. She may not have been a military hero...but she was one of my heroes🧡🇺🇸

Hello from the boys🐮

Miss Sadie with some pretty cool looking storm clouds tonight. Unfortunately we didn't get any rain out of those clouds, but at least we didn't get any severe storms out of them either. I suppose there's always a bright side to things.
