Some quick stories, just interesting..
Elizabeth.. A highlander cow, Tommys' parents bought, crazier than crap! Okay she wasnt that bad unless she had a calf by her side. Now when Tommy is scared of a cow, thats really telling you something. She had really big horns that stood straight out, and when she bowed her head, they were like spikes! She had a "dummy calf", and we had to take him away, and she went bizark, not to mention when Tommy and his dad was milking her, in the squeeze shoot!
Frosia (aka the paint).. Tommys parents horse whom was an Arabian paint, really huge and pretty. Tommy was trying to break her, and summer of 2005, he was on her back, and she was on her hind legs, with Tommy hanging on for dear life. Eh he never got on her again.
Tepi... An Egyptian Arabian horse his parents got, one of the very first horses that arrived on the farm. He was pretty much broke to ride, he was soo mellow and loving. God Bless him, he passed away.
Heres Ryan and I, on Mr. Tepi, in Feb 2005..
And Tommy riding him:
Debo.. Our registered Beef Master, and our baby. Hes soo big and pretty! We drove 3 hours one way to pick him up and he was HUGE!! We got him home, and opened the door, and poor guy was in the splits, it was super hot that day, and he just couldnt get out of the splits, Tommy and I swore we broke him. We poured water all over him (to keep him cool). We were even able to pet him, because he just couldnt move. There was no lifting or even assisting (he was 2k lbs). So we took a short trip to the gas station, to give him some air, get us some drinks, and he got him self moved to where he could stand up, and he got on up and walked out. Thank God, hes had several babies since, and proved we didnt break him!
Goldie... A goat for ever remembered. Tommy had her before we started dating, and she was just a cutie. She thought she was a dog, following anyone anywhere. Wanting to be petted all the time. Sadly she was attacked when she was at the big farm. We regret not bringing her back home, and she will be missed forever.
Pigs- We've raised pigs 2 times. Once back in 2006, and again 2008. Its always a fun adventure. We do it for our self consumption, although, we did try to get baby piglets, and wasnt very successful. We also had "mini pigs", they were cute as well... the baby were adorable.. until they got lice...
