Hope is completely adorable and is just like a massive puppy. Hopefully, all works out well.

Love watching you let the ducks out.

Saying a prayer for Hope that she will be with calf soon. God Bless you, and thanks for sharing with us.

Whew, Not as bad news as I thought. I love Hope. So glad she is OK

Watching the ducks be so eager to begin their day that my spirit is lifted for the day. Thank you both for sharing this every morning.

I’m an AI tech too and specialize in breeding homestead cows. Have all sorts of bulls in my tank. $45 for the farm call plus the value of the straw. Did blood draws for pregnancy checks and Lute for polycystic ovaries and bringing on heat cycles. My services are very helpful for breeders who only have one or two cows. I’m much cheaper than keeping a bull and safer too.

Poor dear Hope. May she have a long and healthy life. She's such a gentle creature.

I'm so glad that Hope is ok I thought the worst. Hope everything goes well.

Good luck and “HOPE” all goes well!!🥰

LOVELY COUPLE! LOVELY LIFE! Thanks for sharing your homestead! God Bless you and yours!

I’m so relieved! Hope is such a sweet cow. 🙏❤️🙏

Never quiet on your homestead. Thank you for taking us along.

Hope absolutely loves Kevin. That was so cute how she was loving on him.

Why didn’t he pet Hope with all her nuzzles? Why doesn’t he give away, or sell some of the turkeys? Why have so many animals if you can’t afford to feed them? Let Hope be, she’s already being over milked as it is. Don’t over slaughter, there’s ways just as mysterious as a found dead turkey ghost.

Farming has a lot of various obstacles...amazing job done...

I love watching you guys say good morning to your farm animals. Love the ducks and the pigs... they are my favs! So glad Hope is ok. Love the name. WoW! Technology. Prayers and Fingers crossed all goes well. Thanks for all you do.

Oh my what a sweet cow! I think she’s saying the same about you all sitting with her!

~~~ I am praying for Hope and her calf tone healthy. ...Your really good people and your homestead is wonderful my friends. ......GOD'S JOY.

So relieved! I was thinking the worst about Hope. Oh well, when it's her time to have a little one, she'll have a little one. All things work together for good...

Well guys, you really had me concerned with that title! Glad to hear that Hope is okay and it was only a hiccup in the breeding process, and not some kind of grave issue. Hope this procedure works out well for you. Strange that you had such a hard time in the middle of cattle/cow country. Reminds me of the time that a friend got bit by a sidewinder in Los Vegas Nevada, and had a hard time getting treated for it! You would have thought that there would have been any number of doctors available to treat a snake bite .... not so. Take care.

As my Scottish grandpa used to say, “As long as it could still be worse, you’re OK!” Good luck with the artificial insemination!

Thank God she's able to have more babies.. she is so sweet, cant wait to follow your journey with her.

This is great news!!! So glad you figured it out. Thanks for taking us along on your journey!!!

Ooh, great research on the vets. Will love to follow this process.

I can't wait to see that process, you guys are amazing 👍

Sorry that you are having to go through the added expense with Hope but very relieved to know that her problem isn't fatal. Had me worred there for a minute. Good luck.

I have one thing to say. You guys are GREAT! We love your shows. God bless you both and God bless your family

What a Sweet Cow ! I sure am enjoying watching this new adventure of yours !

Good luck I hope everything turns out well.

We had our our cow artificially breed several times and picked the breed of bull and had beautiful calf’s. It took the vet less than an hour to do the deed, but it was so worth it. Good luck!

So happy that things turned out well. Excited for you also with new adventures with Hope. Praying for success. Blessings.

Hi Kevin and Sarah, well it sounds like we are getting ready to go on a exciting journey with you guys! Sometimes even the animals need help right? It's time to buckle up and hang on we are on a mission with Hope! Lol, happy days are coming! Jenenda 🍅🍅🍅

Fasinating! I learned alot. Thank you for sharing. Praying for Miss Hope. 😇🙏🙏

Great that Hope stays on the farm! Glad it was not a permanent problem or require surgery, that would have been devastating for sure.

We will be cheering you on. And hope for Hope.

So glad you found a solution!

Pray all goes well with hope. I'll miss seeing the turkey

yep im glad thats just the problem, and not something really bad. ill send prayers your way for everything to go well with Hope.

hope everyone comes out well with you cow Hope ! She is so cute and lovely !!

That’s some exciting things happening on your homestead.

Awe, glad that there is “hope” for “HOPE” to have a calf . How exciting ! I have been very curious about learning how to artificially inseminate a cow . I’ve seen several videos of homesteads that are doing that instead of keeping a bull in their property. Angus bull to jersey heifer . Same reasons you guys have . Good luck with it . TEAM HOPE ♥️🙏❤️

I've found these things always work out for the best. When all is said and done you'll be thinking "That worked out just right"

Praying that all will go well, Hope is such a sweet cow. Thanks for taking us along. God Bless you and the girls 😍

You can board a bull for stud service. Sometimes they like to move them out while they sort.

Honestly I would wait a little on getting Hope pregnant, it appears the last owner spread her thin with her calves, milling and worms, let her fully recover naturally as long as you can and then she should do fine. Praying for you all on the journey.Blessings

After seeing the video I was inspired and grew some "pond" zucchini, pumpkins, butternut squash. The squash bugs NEVER found the plants out there! It was great. While production was less than in the garden, we only watered about 10 times by throwing a bucket of pond water on them, no weeding.... they just grew writhin the pasture grass. I am going to expand my gardening out there next year. It was a great backup after the zucchini bugs ravaged my garden plants and a wonderful fall harvest of butternuts.

Hope's body condition looks better since she's been with you. imho.

Thanks for sharing the process with your audience!

I never knew how much was involved to get a cow pregnant! Best wishes for a successful pregnancy! You must know that your ducks are the stars of the Homestead!

Very interesting. Years ago my husband and I raised cattle, we started out w just 3 but grew our herd to 23. We had just 25 acres but I can truly say the best tone of our life’s and joy for our kids were when. Our”girls” were carrying babies and then calving, over the years we had many babies but the thrill of watching them be born and then bouncing around the field like they did was a joy! We never lost a single baby or cow. Have to say I didn’t like having to butcher the Steers but it was part of the program of raising animal’s. Your joy is infectious , just wait you guys!
