thanks to our dear friend, kevin, martha has moved to western kansas.

we went out to load her up.  with my parents here, it was a whole family event.

she’s the right size and age for motherhood, so we’re hopeful that next summer she’ll have a calf.

we even “met” her potential “husband” (as eliza says).

we’ve had such a sweet relationship with martha.  she’s more pet than livestock, so we’re glad that she’s been accepted by the herd and is one of the crowd.

jerry went to visit her and as soon as he got close enough to rub her belly, she became pet again.

we’ll look forward to welcoming her home to nana and papa’s farm in a while.
