No need to be sorry Lester, we love seeing where you live, even the thick back woods, it will be just as exciting to see Santianas calf when she’s ready to appear with it, just watching your lovely landscapes being filmed takes us to places that we can only dream about, so keep making the videos we love them and you and your beautiful family 👍🐾🥰🐾🥰🐾🥰🐾🥰

Hope Santianna and her baby are doing well. Wanting to help whilst your animals are vulnerable is second nature. Balancing that with the animal’s own abilities and choices can be hard. Praying and trusting that all is well.

Lester, you haven't let anyone down. Please don't let this get you down. Santianna is doing what she needs to do. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE ABOUT. I really appreciate seeing the thicker woods on your property and understanding the terrain better.

Great respect for trying Lester! When l lived outside of Houston, the nearest "nature walk" l dared was the Jesse Jones park and Aboretum.

Lester, you have been so brave to go as far as you did. Risking your life for us and your babies, while fighting all your fears. The discission to not go further is a healthy and responsable manly choice. I rather see you safe out of the woods and pray Santiana and the newest addition to the family will soon get out safely too❣It adds to the feeling on how your life on the farm is and for me personaly it gives some tension on how this will end and will make it so much more exciting seeing her come home safe with a healthy and beautiful baby.

I live in rattlesnake country here in the West and I know exactly what you meant when you said you were starting to see snakes in everything. I live in the mountains and have gone through dense brush like this and I know that feeling and it's no fun to feel that level of anxiety. Please if you can, get you some snake boots that way you have some protection as you walk in that kind of area. My heart was literally starting to pick up the pace the deeper you went! Stay safe and I pray you find Santiana soon. And I just want to add that in no way did you let us down! Holy smokes, Lester no one wants to see you put your life in danger like that. I know I don't.

[@jimmcclure7720]

For what it is worth.... She wants a safe place to be able to keep any potential predator at bay and to only have to look in one direction. Sorta like a wall at her back. Yes she could have done this in the barn and been safe but instinct is instinct. Animals are pretty darn smart and it would take an awful big critter to try and take on a Longhorn. Hope that makes sense and helps some. I have seen cows birth in some of the most ridiculous places and in some instances had to carry the calf out to get the momma to the barn. Santiana is only doing what her breed have been doing forever.

[@vickieturner8688]

@@jimmcclure7720 Thanks for all that! An animal's instincts are far superior to ours, in some cases. Nature is certainly fascinating!!

[@jimmcclure7720]

@@vickieturner8688 In my opinion animals far exceed the necessity to follow our instincts. I think to a large extent we have lost much of our instinct, or possibly have been taught to ignore instinct as we became more "civilized" for better or worse. For your enjoyment.....lol.... I recall a rainy morning as a teenager going about my morning chores before school and began to call the cows up and noticed one we knew was due to have a calf missing. Figuring she may have dropped her calf I began searching the field to find her. Finally I found her at the far end of the field by an old blackjack tree that had limbs nearly touching the ground. In those day there were no 4 wheelers or side by sides so I walked down to check on her and found that she did indeed drop her calf just a few hours earlier. I tried to coax her to come after me with a bucket of feed and bring the calf along but she wasn't having it. So, I picked up the calf and began walking toward the barn, some distance away, figuring the momma would follow after the baby. Boy was I a dummy.....I got about halfway to the barn and turned to see how the cow was doing and noticed she was still standing down at that old blackjack tree. I called for her and showed her the calf in my arms but she was being stubborn. I had to walk all the way back down to her and let her get another good sniff of her calf and I guess reassure her that it was safe. This time she followed up to the barn. That taught me a lesson to be sure the momma was coming before I got to far. And yes I was wore out from toting that calf around and, again yes, I still had to go to school that morning. But she was a pretty little calf and worth the effort.
