"Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."

~Hebrews 12: 1-2

Our Domesticated Ungulates Truncating the Enclosed Herbaceous Plants

Though the farm we rent includes 200 acres of tillable ground, we find ourselves allowing our cattle to forage in more populated areas--such as our lawn.  Do not fret, my husband mows close to the house and uses a break wire to keep them away, less they dislodge some siding or a gutter with their need to scratch their necks on most any textured vertical surface :).  It is partly done out of the fact that my husband does not enjoy mowing as it gives him "tractor back" the next day but more so done out of the fact that we are graziers to the core and why would we waste something that our bovine friends will happily and gratefully utilize?  So I took a video of our bovine friends coming out of the pasture onto the lawn to happily truncate our herbaceous plants, using the least amount of fossil fuels whilst adding an eco-friendly fertilizer to the lawn at no charge and giving us milk and meat in return! (grin)  I love farming.




Blessings to each of you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  This season we have been reflecting on the redemption we have through His death on the cross and the hope of eternity as He conquered death and rose from the grave.
