Identity Theft – Wyoming Style
Since I’ve asked for questions for my next Q&A session… I received one that deserves its own entire post! Plus, this has happened recently, and I wasn’t there to document the process, so once again I’m going to bring back to life an old post! Carole asked: “Since you have a heifer who lost her…
Minute Movie: “Joy”
This little calf… less than 12 hours old… is trying out her new legs! Still unsteady at a standstill, she’s trying and succeeding at bucking and playing! What joy! Joy from Carol Greet on Vimeo. **** Post your questions for my next Q&A session in the comment section!
