We're Calving!

Buster Brown!

It's been a busy calving season thus far; we're  up to 80 new calves, and still going strong.  Every day is an adventure -  finding and tagging  the babies with their mommas near by.  But we still have grass, despite a very hot and dry summer.  Sometimes when we move the herd to different pastures for grazing - every once in a while, some of the little ones who've been told to stay in the long grass, end up left behind.

One of our happiest rescue successes is the adorable Buster Brown; he was a lucky little guy found in the grass near the pond.  Now he's doted upon by the twins and eagerly sucks up his bottles 3 times a day!

Charlie Sydnor is a rancher and doctor in North Carolina who used to be part of the mainstream cattle industry. For years, he raised cows to the appropriate size, then trucked them off to the feedlot to fatten up on grain before getting slaughtered.
