I spent a lot of time reading, listening, pondering, and reflecting while writing last weeks blog about what being a livestock farmer during COVID-19 has looked like.  It wasn’t a nice and sweet story about Romney Ann bottle feeding a lamb or a fun new recipe to try.  But honestly, it was more the type ..read more
