We’ve all heard it before, but do believe #Bessie🐄Mae gives new meaning to the phrase “water runs right through me”😜!! We are doing our part in staying healthy! Lots of H2O and #selfquarantine on the farm!

Poor Ben Franklin is soaking wet, but that isn’t stopping him from looking like a HUNK OF BURNING LOVE in front of his GURL, Martha. He’s still impressing her with all of the right moves! You go, Ben!

Using essential oils to promote a healthy flock has kept our flock healthy for 20 years.

Two best friends chewing their cud under 70 degrees sunny skies...in JANUARY! Yes, ladies, you were BORN TO BE WILD!!! Why are you so serious, Mabel Lee (right cow)? 😜 I’m unsure about y’all, but this is a perfect lazy day! GET IT, GIRLS! 🙌😍

Bessie Mae and Mabel Lee clearly share an incredibly tight bond. They will always be friends until they are old and senile... at that point they’ll just be new friends! Although it seems hard to believe, cows are animals capable of feeling emotions like love. It is proven that cows have the ability to do and feel quite interesting things, even similar to those of people, which is quite surprising since cows are farm animals. This emotional video shows two adorable cows giving affection, obviously these two cows will be best friends forever, since you can see how much they love each other. Throughout the video you can see how the black cow approaches the brown cow to show her that she loves her, so the brown cow becomes very happy. Subsequently, the black cow moves away to go to where its owner is, which shows that it is a very affectionate cow. Cows also know the meaning of friendship! If you are afraid your heart speeds up. If you feel severe pain, you scream. If sadness invades you, tears will escape your eyes without you being able to remedy it. It's that simple. Our emotions are deeply connected to our bodily functions and are difficult to repress. To top it all, we are endowed with a good number of mirror neurons, a group of cells that allow us to recognize emotions in others and feel them as our own. Mirror neurons are responsible for getting excited when contemplating the sadness of another person or animal. Yes, you read that right, animal, because you should know that animals also feel sorrow, fear, anger, disgust and joy. We often forget the ability to feel that animals possess, and the cruelty with which we treat them. Although from time to time, some good news makes us believe again in the goodness of the human being. Cows, for example, are a very perceptive animal, capable of feeling and expressing their moods. In this way if they feel insecure or trapped, they cry. Cows are magical beings and we all love them, however, digressing a bit on social networks; We found something interesting. Throughout Twitter and especially Instagram, there are many people who have adopted vaquitas as pets. Yes, yes, the vaquitas live there with them, they play, they have their drinking fountain and even grassland to take the snack. There is a whole community dedicated to having her vaquita and spoiling her, they share tips of care, aesthetics, activities and others to have her new friend in optimal conditions. Why not love them? They are very sociable animals, intelligent and in general, great. Another reason why they love having a cow at home is because the milk would be fresher than ever, as they would have it short. Obviously after seeing all this, we NEED to adopt a pet cow, however, we must understand that it is not to go for a cow and now. It requires a lot of special care and especially space so that you can grow and live happily. It is important to respect all animals, since we all have the right to enjoy life to the fullest. Cows have feelings!

Mabel Lee was rescued in March of 2019 and has never forgotten who brought her out of her awful existence. Today she lives the best life a cow could ever dream of living! @the_red_barn_farm

Are you one of the people who hate the heat and always want to have a fan nearby? Watch how these turkeys lie in front of the fan until the heatwave is gone! Heat affects most people, and the same goes for animals, especially when they are furry or feathered since their bodies are designed to withstand cold and not heat. The good news is that today there are fans and anyone can have a fan at home, but in this video, you can see how even turkeys can appreciate the air of the fan in a heatwave. These turkeys are really adorable and intelligent! The domestication process of turkeys says that it occurred around the beginning of the first millennium of our era, and was the work of the indigenous peoples of the central regions of Mexico. Some people think that turkeys cannot fly, but this is not entirely true. Well, most adult domestic turkeys can't fly because they are raised to be chubby and meaty, but youngsters can. Wild turkeys can even fly at almost 90 kilometers per hour although they don't get very far and can also climb trees. <a href="https://rumble.com/v8bywl-you-spin-me-round.html" target="_blank">Turkeys</a> have something that many people confuse with crest and others call it mucus, but the proper name to call it is caruncle. Which are fleshy that have some birds in the neck and head. The caruncle in turkeys is very useful to know the state in which it is found. If it turns very white it means that it is sick, if it turns red, it is ready to fight, if it turns blue it means that it is scared. So if you see that a turkey has a blue caruncle, it is scared. When eating, turkeys can sometimes ingest small stones that enter a part of their stomachs called gizzard, which helps the turkey break down food. This process is necessary because turkeys, like all birds, have no teeth. In fact, turkeys have two stomachs. The one that softens the food with gastric juices is called the glandular stomach, and the other is gizzard, which crushes it for the intestines or the first stomach, if necessary. Turkeys are <a href="https://rumble.com/v7oihp-turkeys-tapping-at-the-door.html" target="_blank">intelligent</a>, sensitive and highly social animals. They create lasting bonds with each other and are very affectionate; You could say that in this aspect they are quite like dogs. Baby turkeys are with their mother all year. Although wild turkeys perch on trees, since birds cannot fly during the first weeks of their lives, the mother stays with them at ground level to keep them safe and warm until they are strong enough to rest In the safety of trees. When it’s super hot in Virginia even the turkeys need a fan! Priceless! @the_red_barn_farm

Mabel Lee and her caretaker Dennita chewing their cud. Nothing really to see here...just spending time with my sweet cow, Mabel Lee doing cow things on a fresh bed of hay...because laying on your bed and eating it at the same time is just perfect! Follow@the_red_barn_farm

Bacon Bit’s second Christmas is just around the corner. It’s hard to believe it’s been 2 years since her rescue. On November 2017 at a poultry show, Dennita noticed a farmer walking around with a pocket size pig in his flannel shirt. She asked to hold the sleeping pig and immediately inquired to see all of his female piglets. Inside the back of an old dilapidated, filthy trailer lay 4 itty bitty piglets on straw...two girls and two boys. One of the piglets appeared to be more neglected than the others; she was the runt of the litter, filthy, and shivering. When Dennita asked to hold her, the farmer hesitated, but she insisted. As she cradled Bacons cold, tiny body in her warm hands, Dennita looked into her beautiful, blue eyes, & fell in love. Tears welled in Dennita's eyes as she asked the farmer, “How much?” He snickered at her choosing, however eager to walk away with fifty dollars. Today, Bacon Bit has a fabulous life on the farm. She is served warm oatmeal and fruit in a clean bowl every morning. Follow@the_red_barn_farm

You’ve heard of DUCK, DUCK, GOOSE, but what about DUCK, DUCK, CHICKEN? 😂 Animal behavior is so amazing. In fact, if many of us gave UNCONDITIONAL LOVE like animals, imagine the possibilities! These are silkie chickens taking turns at the feeder. The Roos (males) will often wait for the hens to eat before they themselves eat. A doting, chivalrous roo is a VERYgood catch! 😉

It's really easy to forget that we are not the only living beings living on this planet. We're trapped in our concrete jungles, escaping the scorching heat and the freezing icy winters in the sanctity of our homes. The only contact with the outside world are photographs and videos of animals living freely in the wild. But they are here, we share the same oxygen, we share the food, the water, the ups and downs of the climate changes. Love for animals has only increased as time has gone on. This day we can see lots of animals, whether it is dogs, cats being the most dominant but also pigs, rabbits, hedgehogs and many more that were previously known as eatables now have become completely domesticated. The animal kingdom never ceases to amaze and inspire, enjoy these wondrous pals that put aside all differences to spread some love. These interspecies friendships show that anybody can get along if they truly put their minds to it. This proves that pets can be much better than humans sometimes: they just do not care about differences of size or species; pets will be loyal to their friends for life. If you still believe that they are not capable to form friendships and feel deep emotions, we are sure you will change your understanding before the end of this footage. If peoples can determine one thing from pets it should be their ability to see past the exterior and find mutual territory and even harmony in others despite their skin color, their reputation or status, and their origins. Pets are capable of opening their hearts across species boundaries and in effect, unusual and beautiful <a href="https://rumble.com/v834a1-helpless-bird-caught-on-fish-bait-gets-saved-by-heroic-bystander.html" target="_blank">animal</a> friendships and even a sense of familiar affection can emerge. Sometimes this life is a bit more than what we can chew on. It gets difficult and dark from time to time. However, there is always somewhere we can turn and all we have to do is give it a little thinking. We all need a little love from one time to another. No matter our size nor our species. This world we live in is much more interconnected then some of us might think, and for this reason we are very connected with one another and we are in need of each others company. This big <a href="https://rumble.com/v834f1-dog-buried-up-to-neck-enjoys-the-healing-power-of-sand.html" target="_blank">cutie</a> is the perfect example of what we have just laid out. Bessie Mae will do whatever it takes to get Mike’s attention because he is her entire world! Just watch her shenanigans!
