It has been a very busy week to say the least. Today we welcomed some beautiful horses and a mini mule into our rescue. They are very much loved by us already! Welcome to the farm Stella (draft cross), Layla with baby Iris, Kane (c**t), and Pickle (mini mule)!!!!!

Today is by far the coldest of the year! At a whopping -21°f for the high (not including the wind-chill) the livestock are doing well in the weather. We are definitely monitoring all of them closely. Vivian was not happy that I took my phone our of my bibs to capture a Pic of her, so she zipped up my jacket for me. So, I took a picture of us and our frozen eyelashes! Welcome to northern Wisconsin winter weather!

Another rescue has taken her in. We wish her all the best in life! Thank you for those who have donated to help save her. We will be using those funds to rescue another one out of the kill pen. We appreciate all of your help and support!

Please help us save this baby! She is only 1 month old and could use all the care and live in the world. We are raising money for her bail and transportation to our rescue. She will be given the best chance at life and will be extremely loved and well taken care of by us. She truly is a doll! Any and all donations are massively appreciated!
The link below is her at the kill pen.

Over the past several months we have had many changes with our rescue. We ended up selling our home in Clear Lake, and have moved our entire farm and rescue to our new home in Mellen, WI. It was absolutely hectic getting all of the livestock up here, but with the help of family and friends we were able to successfully make it happen!
The animals have adjusted well to the change and love all of the new space they have to run around. Since the move, we have had new babies born via wonderful cows and heifers. We have also taken in a few surrendered animals! They are thriving in their new environment and it is refreshing and exciting to see! We are extemely excited to be getting our new barns built within the next month or so. It is going to make life so much easier, especially when we get new livestock into the rescue that need medical attention.
I will be updating everything, including our website over the next couple weeks. It should make things a bit easier for people who are trying to reach us.

After being gone for a month, Vivian is finally back home with Mindy and Spice! Even though it was for a quick tune-up/refresher, Mindy, the Palimino hated being away from her. It was awesome to see the reactions of all three girls when Vivian got off our trailer yesterday and back out in the pasture. The bond between the three of them is simply amazing and priceless!

Well we have the cutest little spring suprise.... meet our new baby, Sydney. She is an adorable little baby born earlier today. Snow, one of the goats we rescued a few months back delivered this little peanut like a champion with no issues. Such a wonderful time on the farm! Welcome to the farm baby Sydney!

We typically don't take in dogs to our rescue, but this fine lady was a n exception due to her circumstances. Meet Anessa! All of our livestock dogs get a long with her and she has been adjusting well to her new environment. We are hoping that she will enjoy life on our farm and learn to protect our livestock. Welcome to Hoof It Home Rescue Anessa!

How cool!

Found a two-banded soft-bottom sea star washed up on the beach this week. This is a unique find for North Carolina as these Luida Alternata Spiny Sand Stars are typically found further south toward the Alabama Gulf Shore.
Even though, it's not a shark tooth this Saturday, it's a pretty impressive find!

Well we had an unexpected and tiny calf join our farm today. Meet Cornelius, the smallest calf we have ever taken care of. He is half the size of our dogs and drinks 1.5 pints of milk before he is completely full. Our dog Max has really taken to him and finished cleaning him off since we got him home. He is such a cutie. Welcome to Hoof It Home Rescue little Cornelius!
