Had such an amazing weekend at the Lake of the Ozarks with my wonderful boyfriend and his family. It was so nice to escape the farm for a few days and enjoy the summer with great people!! #labordayescapes #lakeoftheozarks #backtothegrindtomorrow (at Lakeview Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnSCVCYHNnf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cx3m8fumwosc

I cannot fully explain how unbelievably proud I am of this dog! Buck was an absolute rockstar yesterday moving ewes & lambs. It’s probably the toughest job we do and he was calm and quiet through the whole thing. For a dog who used to get anxious and grip lambs this boy has come such a long way! #bordercollie #dogswithjobs #sheep #dairysheep #farmlife #sheepdog #thegreatlambmigration (at Green Dirt Farm)

Sometimes it’s hot as hell but it’s still worth taking a break to go to the Royals ball game, especially if your boyfriend is a Cardinals fan. #kcroyals #stlcardinals #i70series #americaspasttime #hotterthanhell #butitstillbeatsworking (at Kauffman Stadium)

The sweet sounds of milking... I can assure you that the addition of Fleetwood Mac to these notes makes a symphony 😜. #theladieslovemymusic #farmlife #dairysheep #everythingisbetterwithFleetwoodMac

There’s always some tension when the king comes up for a pet but the border collies just wanna play ball. #workingdogs #akbash #bordercollie #Rexinretirement

AJ believes he is in fact a sheep. He has also decided that he can be milked. What can one possibly say to that?! #dairysheep #farmlife #sheepindogsclothing #youmustbejoking (at Weston, Missouri)

Morning moves to the parlor are a bit slow, but the ladies and the lambs are slowly getting the hang of it. #dairysheep #milkingmoves (at Green Dirt Farm)
