Welcome to my office

​  Welcome to my office! Some days it's a little drafty. Some days it's a bit warm. Every day there's a lot of activity and a lot of work to be done. My office has held laughter and it's held tears. My office is a safe place for friends and family and it's my sanctuary.

​Some people look at a barn and think it's smelly and dirty and not a place that you would choose to hang out. Sometimes it is smelly and dirty, but there's a peace here that I don't find many places.

Animal husbandry is defined by merriam-webster as "a branch of agriculture concerned with the production and care of domestic animals." It is so much more than that. What we do is a responsibility that we choose to accept, to care for these animals in the best way that we can. They rely on us for their basic needs and for the love and attention that they deserve. Sometimes we win the many battles and sometimes we fail, but when one of my mamas trusts me enough to seek me out and lie in my lap when she is giving birth, it is a humbling and amazing moment. These are the rewards.

So friends, come on into my office! Sit and stay a while. You will feel the weight of the world fall from your shoulders... I promise!
