We had a first on the ranch yesterday.
We harvested our first livestock.
Yes, they had names.
Yes, they were loved.
Yes, they were a spark of joy.
Yes, they will be missed.
Yes, they are food.
Hours have been put into these animals for fair.
Hours of raising, training, growing.
Not only growth for the animals, but the growth that was blessed to our girls.
We are blessed by their sacrifice. Their lives now live on through what we learned, food that will sustain our families growth, and the growth of others as well.
Farm days are beautiful, but at times they are the hardest lessons.
