Now for the cats.....
Sherman is 4. He's 14 lbs. of personality and attitude. I LOVE this cat. He goes on walks, is down for any adventure, and loves to push our buttons.
Sadie is 1.5 years old. She's a tiny cat. She lacks personality but she never does anything wrong and she's a decent mouser. She has been my "tuning buddy". You should see the way she picks out my mistakes.....
Horses (hay burners):
This is O.B. (Ozarks Baron). He's 13. He has been in the family for 11 years and belonged to my wife's grandma. He was gifted to me 5 years ago so I guess that technically makes him
my horse. He is a good boy, never bucks, stands still for 20 minutes while I "tack him up" and puts up with my amateur riding skills.
These guys are Bob and Chuck. My wife and I made a trip all the way to east-central Michigan in March to pick them up. They are characters for sure and they are great fun to watch and mess around with. I've been bucked off of Bob and Chuck ran away with Jess but they're still green and are sure to become good boys too.

All three of them:
.....and the cows ("babies).
I grew up on a ranch with cows (leased ground) but never knew that they could have such character until Jess and I got our own. We got them when they were two weeks old and raised them in the shed behind the house. We're going to send the steer off in Feb. or March so we can eat him. We're keeping the heifer because she's such a good cow. They come when you call, want to play all the time, and are surprisingly good with staying in a poorly-fenced pasture. They're celebrating their second birthday this month.
First off, of course, the BABY PICTURES!!
This is Miss May (the one in front). She's real sweetheart.
This is Dinner. I named him that so I wouldn't forget what he is for.
Those are my kids.
