getting to know you . . .

Mikala’s young cow, Sierra, now lives here on the farm along with 7 goats, 2 donkeys, a very large dog, and 6 cats between our daughter’s house and ours.

Sierra is a very sociable heifer who loves making new friends. She has her own private fenced yard attached to the new cow barn, but would love to roam with the rest of the beasties from one pasture to another.

Here, Tater and Tot seem to be sharing stories with Sierra — son-in-law Michael caught them on camera and I drew this from his photo.

This second photo was taken by Bill. Granddaughter Mikala was giving Sierra a bath after getting home from her part time job at a vet’s office. The scene reminded us of Bethlehem’s stable (though it was probably more of a cave). Our very own Christmas manger!
