Faith from the Farm, Sharing as He leads!
So much has changed in our world today, we cannot go out for fun or play.
There is an invisible enemy searching us out, it is very hard to tell what it’s all about.
This enemy seeks for the ones at risk, but then at random chooses those not on the list.
Some of the sick are barely sick at all, yet some of those chosen will answer death’s call.

We have quite a few baby calves around the farm right now. But one pen, here in front of the house, has quite a few calves that are all relatively the same age. Those calves consistently escape to explore and more than once we have had to tell them to get back in that pen!
That pasture is surrounded on two sides by a wooden fence. But on the other two sides, there is only a single strand of hot wire. At this age, the calves are just small enough that they can walk directly under the hot wire without getting shocked. They just walk right out of the pen and get into trouble!

Well, we have finally done it! We have finally gotten to the point that we are going to fix this crossing! Now this area was previously used not only for the cattle to pass over, but for tractors and equipment, even trucks, to cross from pasture to pasture. But over time and with the heavy rains that we have had, maintenance of this area has not been done and it shows. It is time to repair the breach!
Our cattle cross here twice a day from late fall through mid spring. Daily, the cattle are led across to the winter pasture and left in for several hours and then led back across. They can only stay in the winter pasture for a few hours and the only way that they can get there is across this end of the pond.
The part of this crossing that is covered by water, is not that deep and has a rock bottom. Now you can’t tell, but the end of the crossing closest to the winter pasture, where the water ends and before the grass begins, is deep and extremely muddy. I would have loved to have videoed the cattle going across, but I am for certain someone would have had terrible things to say about it and us!
