DOES EATING BEEFALO GROW HEALTHY,HEARTY, (HUSKY) BABIES?



As you know, our blogger Gena (a petite young thing), has been expecting her second child.  "Little" Tecumseh Ussery made his debut in early November, measuring 22 inches long and weighing in at 10 lbs. and 1 Oz.  That was quite a bit more weight than anyone had expected or wanted.
Mom and son are both doing fine for which we are all most grateful and thankful.  All the best to both of them.
