So we’re at the farm last week and we were heading sheep and my friend Shannon grabbed a lamb to move it into the lamb pen and the mother sheep and 4 female sheep corner me and my friend into a corner and before i grabbed the herding stick I quietly mutter to her “Watch your six. We’ve got a new alpha” like the line “Watch your six. Raptors got a new alpha”

Then when me, Shannon, Rebecca were moving five female juvenile highland cow calf’s into a open field and they try to get back into the barn and the staff looked at us like we’re doing it wrong I say “You breed five highland cows, raised in captivity. They’re seeing all of this for the first time. They don’t even know what what this is. They’re gonna ram everything that moves” like the line “You made a genetic hybrid, raised it in captivity. She is seeing all of this for the first time. She does not even know what she is. She will kill everything that moves”

Then I was cleaning the two female red Angus pen with the two red angus in the cattle crushes and a guest looking around asked me “Are they safe?” I look at my teacher then back at the guest “No, they're not always calm”

Like the line where gray said “Owen. Are they safe?” And Owen said “No, they're not”

Then we were cleaning out the muck pit near the bull pen and we had this friendly bull called buck and my friend Shannon turn her back to the pen and I noticed the bull about the nudge her into the muck heap and our teacher said never turn your back on the bull so the bull shoved her into the much and she yelled at me “WHY THE FUCK DIDNT YOU WARN ME” and i just walked away and said “the teacher told you Don't ever turn your back to the pen”

The greatest friend I made in 2025 is Ember Phoenix. Ember inspired me to never give up on my dreams and to keep going, even when things feel impossible. They are truly the greatest friend I could ask for. Ember taught me so much about trust, history, facts, art, protection, and so much more. I would sacrifice anything to protect Ember, because they mean the world to me
