Snapshots From This Past Week

This past week was huge here at Sweetgrass. Our Charolais heifer, Daisy, safely delivered her calf; it snowed yet again; and my two year-old filly, Jetblue, finally got to go into a small outdoor paddock after two long months of stall rest.

It's not often that I take time to look back and reflect on events, but it seemed particularly appropriate to do so tonight. I'm thankful that Daisy and her bull calf are doing well, and thankful that Jetblue is still with us. The filly is recovering nicely from a right lateral displacement of her colon, an event that might have been deadly had it not been for the intervention of a crack surgical team at Oregon State University.

My takeaway: LIFE IS GOOD AND PRECIOUS AND MEANT TO BE TREASURED!

Here are a couple of snapshots from this past week. Enjoy!
