On his birth day, in front of the woodstove.
1-31-2004

     Life was born before dawn on the coldest day of the year here in 2004.  We had tried to pen his dam up prior to delivery in the birthing room, but it would cause her some stress.  So we reluctantly turned her back out with the herd in the barn rather than battle pneumonia. She seemingly waited until this cold night to deliver Life and Twist.  My husband went to feed that morning and found him dead or what seemed like it in a corner of the barn.  He quickly brought him up to the house and we placed him in a sink of water as hot as my hands could stand it up to his neck.  We prayed for him and rubbed him vigorously for a long time and then he began to breath again ... he came to Life.
