In visiting her ranch, it confirmed to our grandboys that we (Nana and Papa) weren&#8217;t the only ones who liked to farm.

AJ got to experience the joy of holding a 3-day old kid.

Kaleb got to experience a mother&#8217;s concern.

<p>And, once passing the test, to hold that mother&#8217;s precious little one.</p>
<p><a href="http://russ-stickacres.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dsc_0052-small.jpg"><img src="http://russ-stickacres.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dsc_0052-small.jpg" alt="" title="dsc_0052-small" width="640" height="428" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3916" /></a></p>
<p>Yes, we, like AC Ellen, like our animals.  Big, small, and many.</p>
<p><a href="http://russ-stickacres.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dsc_0067-small.jpg"><img src="http://russ-stickacres.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dsc_0067-small.jpg" alt="" title="dsc_0067-small" width="640" height="428" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3915" /></a></p>
<p>And we love our amazing Mustangs, just as AC Ellen does.  </p>
<p><a href="http://russ-stickacres.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dsc_0077-small.jpg"><img src="http://russ-stickacres.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dsc_0077-small.jpg" alt="" title="dsc_0077-small" width="640" height="428" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3914" /></a></p>
<p>AC Ellen has the happiest (and cleanest) pigs around.  </p>
<p><a href="http://russ-stickacres.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dsc_0143-small.jpg"><img src="http://russ-stickacres.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dsc_0143-small.jpg" alt="" title="dsc_0143-small" width="640" height="428" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3913" /></a></p>
<p>And we will benefit by the birth of this trio.  One of them, Rachel, is coming to live with us once weaned.</p>
<p><a href="http://russ-stickacres.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dsc_0148-small.jpg"><img src="http://russ-stickacres.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dsc_0148-small.jpg" alt="" title="dsc_0148-small" width="640" height="428" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3912" /></a></p>
<p>The boys realized that we, like AC Ellen, love what we do.  </p>
