Crazy Cow Country Farm

I don’t know about you, but that’s pretty cold.  I usually like to do my livestock chores immediately in the morning, sometimes before sunrise, but the past few weeks I’ve been gradually getting out just a little later so the sun’s starting to warm things up.  All the horses have beautiful winter coats coming in […]

I’ve mentioned the local Natural Horsemanship trainer who uses a punch in the face with the horses he trains and wanted to share more about that, as well as a video.  Frankly, in my opinion, he can call it whatever he wants but it’s a punch in the face to me.  It’s hitting the horse, […]

Traci, the woman who sold us Buck, had a healthy baby boy, Luke, yesterday.  He was born at home after just a couple hours of labor and she called today to let us know.  I can’t wait until she heads this way and stops by and I get to hold him!  Congratulations Traci and family!!

….. because I do have one, contrary to my husband’s opinion.  For the past 12 or 13 years we’ve been married he has harassed me endlessly for not having a sense of humor.  I do have one, trust me, I just prefer to call it intellectual wit or perhaps dry but something along those lines.  […]

Today is Kenny’s worst nightmare.  He’s been gearing up for this day now for about a week.  His plan was to help without being asked  around the farm and point out all the goodness that is Kenny.  He has been stressed and not sleeping well, nervous and edgy.   Today is the dreaded day that he […]

Have you ever done something that resulted in an accident then looked back on it and realized how simply it could have been avoided?  Worse, that you knew how to avoid it but in that flash you did exactly what you shouldn’t have done?  You have?  Really?  I never have.  Ha!  I do that on […]

During a visit with my sister-in-law, Trina, she ran to the store with me to help me out during a shopping check.  As I was explaining what I was doing we discovered that she was unaware of some technicalities at the store.  There are two little tricky things you can do with couponing and sale […]
