Update on the Twins

Posted on April 12, 2017 by prairiemoonquilts in Animals, Prairie Moon Ranch

Some would say, “It’s just a goat!” But My Cowboy and I both firmly believe that if you own livestock, or animals of any kind, then you have an important responsibility to take care of them the best that you can, no matter what — no matter the weather, no matter the problem, no matter […]
