Awards Week, Pt. 2


A cow and her calf are the next winners of the ranch’s first annual New Moo Awards:

By virtue of his incredible will to overcome adversity, Trooper is both the inspiration for and the recipient of the Trooper Award. (Read his remarkable story in the March posts Bud and Trooper and Music to our Ears.)It’s obvious from this recent photo that Trooper is prospering!


Trooper’s mama, Blossom, a 2-year old heifer, is the next winner. During Trooper’s perilous first days, she graciously allowed us to milk her so we could feed him by stomach tube—even when he’d been in the house for hours. Once he could stand and try to nurse, she patiently stood like a rock until he figured it out. And even though Blossom isn’t a big cow, she produces such rich, power-packed milk that Trooper is bigger, stockier, and chubbier than any of the other calves. Hence, she was a shoe-in for the Dairy Queen Award!



“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” –3 JOHN 1:2 (KJ21)
