Nikala and Jed Smith are raising their son, and enjoying simple living on a ranch in rural Montana!
They raise angus breeding bulls, have a milk cow and have a giant garden!
We welcomed our son Angus in the fall of 2019. When he was 2 weeks old, he slept through weaning calves, all cozy in a carrier. When it came time for the spring cow work, he’d fall asleep to the sound of all the cows bellering, he would fall asleep on the bumpy four wheeler, or was content in a play pen or stroller watching all the action. There’s definitely been some harder stages/ages where we’ve all had to adjust just what we do.
I respect his help and perseverance, but more importantly, I respect when he is done.
I’m not able to go out at midnight to help my husband pull a calf, but I am able to take the 6am check and let my husband and son sleep in.
