From an emergency vet tech - NEVER feel guilt for not being able to escape a tragedy. You know your animals, and you know as a large animal owner/breeder that a horse that cannot stand is not a horse with a good quality of life.
The way Jonathan grabs you and kisses you when you found out you won the bid (VS Code Red) I literally burst into tears. He loves you so much and I see all the love in your eyes when you look at him. He was so proud and happy to be there while your dreams came true
As a former breeder of livestock, tragedy happens. Babies sometimes don't make it. It never gets easier and it is always sad. But I always felt grateful that if I could ease their suffering I was able to help them. Farming is a lot of work but very rewarding ❤
I remember Patrick. It was so hard to listen to the updates about him. I remember you even went and got a lift to try to get him on his feet. I kinda had a feeling at that point the best thing was to let him go. I knew at that point his quality of life would be poor but knowing all this it still broke my heart when the time came. I still dont know how you were able to drive home after that heartbreaking decision.
Katie.. don't let anyone online attempt to bring you down. You know horses plus your vet is always on call. Don't question what you do. Believe In Yourself ❤
I just discovered your channel. I did not know about Patrick, but as a dog breeder I know bad things happen to infants and you made the very best choice for Patrick. Moving on from that isn’t cold or heartless or whatever ignorant description someone put out there. It is necessary and right not to dwell on your losses. Remember? Absolutely. The lost ones always stay in your heart. God bless.
Patrick's life may have been short but he was loved, cared for, warm and fed .I think my first video of yours I saw was you doing an update on your broodmares around...September 2022 and I've been hooked ever since.I didn't know well anything about hunting ,apart form the fact I don't like it,but watching your video and learning about how hunting should be done and why and why it is not just a blood sport, I feel better about it and I understand it more now. Can't wait for the rest of 2024 and beyond. Mat God bless you and all of yours Katie, those with fur and feathers and those without.
I found you on FB. People you may know a hunting picture and started following and watching the farm grow and all the babies is just wonderful. Life is a circle there are births and there are deaths. Always send prayers and positive thoughts when things look bad. All we can do is hope for the best and have grace when bad things happen! You are so filled with Grace!! I am so sorry about the loss of Cool and her baby my heart just broke for you after watching all the videos of all her issue leading up to her death. I was so hoping for her relief after having that baby for but God had other plans. Keep up the great sharing of your work and life. Hoping to see you and Jonathan announce soon that you will be having your own little baby boy or girl!!
From a girl who grew up with horses and then when I lost my dad when I was 7 I slowly was phased out of being involved bc my uncle took over my fathers part of our farm and convinced me to sell my part in our namesake farm so seeing your channel brings me back to all of the fond memories I have as a little girl who desperately misses her horse babies. Particularly my baby’s name that I had a deep connection with was TopHit. Please keep these videos coming because it fill my heart with such joy to live vicariously through y’all. Sending all the love, prayers and happy moments y’all’s way. From one really all animal lover (especially these majestically beautiful horses) to another you keep killing it and know you have so much support and love flowing your way.
You know in your heart you did everything you could for Patrick and I’m so happy you kept going and continued showing all that you have! So happy for you and to see what you do in 2024! ♥️
Don't listen to bad people. They have never been on a farm. They have never had to deal with the reality of this life you have, it is just real life you live. You do everything you can do to take care of your animals. You do a wonderful job, a very noble job. Awsome person you are.❤❤
I have really enjoyed your channel after coming across it in January 2024. I was sitting in the hospital with my husband of 52 years. I needed a distraction to keep me sane 😂. When I was young, I owned a sweet little quarter horse named Patty. I loved horses all my life. You bring such joy with you and are an amazing young lady. I know this year will be awesome. Thank you for your commitment to all the wonderful animals ❤️
A lot of the negative opinions come from people who have never been around animals. They have no idea what they are talking about and thrive on spreading hatred. You are doing amazing. Just keep your head up
You can tell you love your animals and that you do everything in the best interest of them... You are a grate person and your videos are what bring me and my 8 kids together.
I look forward to all your videos each day. I have loved the year 2023 right along with you. Cried with you over Patrick and Rooster and celebrated with you when you purchased VS Code Red. Can't wait for foaling season to get into full swing with all the new babies. Wish I could live your life on the farm, always have loved that life. Thank you for sharing your family, your animals and your hunting. Enjoy it all. Love your family. 🥰
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share in your life and everything you do. For helping to teach about an industry that doesn’t seem to always get the best coverage and sometimes airs on the side of only the happy. I’m new this year to your channels but it’s a way to unwind and fulfill my passion vicariously through you! Here’s to what 2024 will bring
Katie, I know that I am watching this months later than when Patrick was born. However, you and I have had many similar, very hard times with the mares and babies. I appreciate your information and humility. Thank you very much. I will pray for everyone who must experience these things……
Love the team you have pulled together and let us join the “ride”. Thank you so much. Country girl living the truckin’ life and enjoying watching you through life’s trials and tribulations and victories. Great job, Katie and team! It definitely takes a village to make it happen.
When you share your life, you share all of it. The good and the bad. Life on the farm and your love of hunting, pets and parties, cooking and personal care. Keep going girl. Life is real, not staged.
I get really upset and at first didn’t want to see the sad that occurs on the farm, but I came to appreciate the honesty of your life!! We follow and support through the good, bad and sad!! Much love ❤️
I just found you today 11-17-2024 and I can not stop watching ! I had your videos on all night, and I love them. I just can't stop watching ! So, thank you for bringing this wonderful world to all of us .😊
Around January of 2023 is when I started following you on TikTok, and then TH-cam. Horses have always been on of my favorite things In this world. Living with chronic illness your videos give me a place for peace and happiness ❤
6:50 thank you for what you do share, with anyone using social media like this, I understand that I don’t require anything from you and I want you to know that you don’t owe us anything, yes it’s important to have a full picture but with that, take your time with the harder stuff, it’s okay if the content is posted later.
Can you do some day in the life vlogs here on TH-cam? Like from the time you wake up till when you go to bed. Sorry if that seems weird 🤣🤣 This saddleseat/saddlebred girl enjoys you and your animals!
Loved this! Been following about a year now. You & your family, animals and content are a favorite part of my day. Have learned so much and laugh, smile, cry & genuinely enjoy your farm life. So happy for your success and I hope it continues to grow & become beyond your wildest dreams!
I remember then buck came to visit Dolly and poor thing it just wasn't happening out matter how much he wanted it too. It really was funny. All the blessings, luck and future memories to you and Jonathon for a whole new year of memories together. Loved seeing how happy he was for you when you got VS Code Red.❤🎉❤
I got hooked on your journey via TikTok. I have always loved horses but never allowed to have one lol. I have learned so much more about horses and farm life. I love seeing the foals being born, the mini animals, the cows and calves. I bawled when you got VS Code Red, I bawled when Rooster passed. I wanted to go to the meet n greet in Columbus. I was there visiting my daughter and grand babies. We got so busy it wasn’t possible. I am so thankful for being given the opportunity to learn from watching your videos. I am grateful that you share your life with so many people. The story of how you met Jonathan, the cruise with your family. Thank you for allowing so many followers into your life and family ❤❤❤❤
I’m so sorry that people were so awful to you about Patrick! Please know that you did all you could for him!!!! You LOVE your babies and do everything you can for them!!!!!!
I still sob watching the bidding of VS code Red, I felt that in my soul.. you’re living my dream life as a young girl.. you’re so blessed and so deserving! Keep these videos coming, you’re doing AMAZING things Katie.. soo incredibly proud of you!! ❤️🙏🏻💙
Most of the people that talk smack to you about what you show,probably never have set foot on a farm.I'm a lover of all things horses and just all animals in general,and I grew up on a farm.So I love watching you and all your babies,and I think you are a gorgeous lady!Thank you for sharing some of your experiences with us,sending love
Thank you, katie . I am living my life through you. You have what was my dream life. But im disabled now. And just found out i have colan cancer. So please keep making these wonderful videos. God bless.
Gosh i remember all the highs and lows of foaling season 2023. From Penelope's dramatic entrance to poor Patrick, it was a lot. But i also learned so much and continue to learn. What happened to Patrick was devastating, but it was what needed to be done. Let us hope and pray that the 2024 foals are all healthy
I've been following you for 3 breeding seasons now and it's been fun watching your business grow. Definitely a lot of ups and downs but that's life. Your an amazing fun person to follow. Looking forward to 2024 for sure.
Watching you and your family is the highlight of my day! Yes I spammed all of your videos when I first saw you because I was so intrigued in living life with you and it took me back to what my life should have been. My fiancé was murdered back in 99 and before that he and I had started our little farm together. We had built a house and a huge barn that the lights got finished after he passed. We had planned for having babies with our horses and just everything. Probably nothing like you have but we had plans that just stopped on a dime when he took his last breath. I couldn’t afford the payments on the house and land and because he was murdered at the house I knew I could never live there. So I had to sell. His kids came in and took all the horses from me and anything they could grab in a flash because yes they stole them. That’s a whole other story. Anyways I love watching you and smiling just thinking of all we had gone through to hopefully get to where you are and just how happy all of the chaos made me. Keep doing what your doing and remember the haters are gonna hate don’t let them get to you. I can’t wait to see what 2024 brings for you and your family. 🫶🤗🫶 May you and Jonathan always be as happy as you are today! ❤️ Never take life for granted ever! 🫶🤗🫶
I found your youtube at the very beginning but knew nothing of your other social media success. But YES, that is really fast amazing growth! I have just over 200 subscribers in about 2 months time, and I'm thrilled about each of and everyone of them! You did amazing with Patrick. Also, I'm a horse girl but I loved learning about the hunting. Everything you do is so heartfelt and such a blessing. I'm in Israel and your channel has been my escape for the last few months in particular! Thank you Katie!
I remember Patrick, he was such a handsome little guy. I cried each time there was an update on him. Having livestock is hard work, and yes there is more up than downs, but those downs hurt the most. You, and your family are amazing and the most loving people I know on SM. Love from the UK 😊
I lost my mom in November of 2022.... I started avidly watching your videos and those of a couple others. But your videos we a huge help to me coping with her leaving. I've not had the opportunity to meet you but I hope to one day.... you helped me make it through the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Thank you.....
My 8 year old daughter (at the time) showed me the “Petunia where are your ears? Petunia! There they are!” And I’ve been HOOKED ever since! I’m so glad she showed me that video. Also we sent out a gift to your P.O. Box lol We love and support you and your beautiful family and farm❤
I think you gotta share everything, even the bad, when you’re trying to show people what agriculture and animal husbandry is really like. People who have never worked with farm animals have no idea what that world is like. Things go wrong despite all your planning, and it can happen so very fast. Accidents happen. Nature happens. Hard decisions have to be made. I’m not really in that world anymore, because I live and work in an urban area nowadays, but I like to watch videos like yours as a reminder of what that life was like.
Patricks Facebook videos are the first that came across my feed and have been watching since. Ive always loved horses and was lucky to grow up with a friend who had horses so learned a little from her.
Thank you for giving us the good and bad of what happens with animal care. As a zookeeper, I know it's hard that not everything survives. It's tough and hurts, but so many good things happen to make it better. I also love that you are an advocate for conservation. That is one of my passions in animal care. I grew up in a farming and hunting family, so it's nice to see a modern version of it. Keep being amazing, can't wait to see what 2024 brings.
I lost my son February 9th of last year and you have really helped me by distraction with TH-cam and Facebook.. Thank you so very much Katie and crew❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think that it is great that you show a balanced and not idealized view of farming. In some ways it would be easier to skip over the hard stuff but since your goal is to educate you include the good and the bad.
Goodness, you came up in my feed so I’ve almost watched from the start of your TH-cam channel. It’s a great channel and I love seeing all the horses and understanding how horses are bred. They’re all beautiful! I’ve never ever ridden a horse and have always wanted to, so I live vicariously through your channel. Thx for starting it!
I'm not a horse owner, and I've only been on one a handful of times, but I absolutely Love your videos! I've always had a love for horses, but owning one has never been in the cards! I've enjoyed living vicariously through you! By the way, you are stunningly beautiful, not only on the outside but the inside as well!
It’s just been so awesome to see you grow and as a mother of girls and boys it shows that your parents raised an amazing young woman making her dreams come true. ❤
I enjoy following your channel! It’s lively, it’s Real and includes the joys and sorrows of farm/ranch life. Keep doing what you are doing and sharing this life. Your channel has a fun, entertaining and reality theme to it. Thanks for being out here! For those who are critical and damning “think they know it alls” I say , unfollow the channel if all you can do is criticize. Second, if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all. Soooo tired of all the negativity. Thanks Katie and family!
It made me cry, Katie talking of Patrick. Things happen in birth that can't be fixed. My heart goes out to all of you. However, look at all the blessings you all have seen. Great job everyone.
I'm so proud of what you have done in 23 I really hope you can knock 24 out has done 23 you are one fantastic beautiful gorgeous women and I absolutely loved all you video's ❤️
Girl, I’ve only been following you for 2023, ever since Penelope’s birth, crazy to listen to it all back! BUT…..you left off the cliff hanger of all cliff hangers with Maggie being so close to foaling in the final hours of 23!! 2023 was wild, cannot wait for 24!! 🥰🥰
Please don’t listen to the keyboard bullies. What you are doing is amazing. Your animals are so well cared for, happy and loved and trust you. For an animal to let a person sit with their newborn not long after birth and be so at ease and relaxed that Mama trust you 100% and it’s such a beautiful thing to see.
I remember when I first saw your videos and instantly I was hooked! The way you spoke about your animals was different from other content creators and I was so infatuated with all your 100+ horses, cows, mini cows, mini goats, mini donkeys and I’m so glad that you showed up on my feed.
You are absolutely living my dream of having good close family and friends, the farm including the minis, and the hunting and yet staying humble and so personable! Thank you so much for showing that it is possible!I love your content!
Why are you guys deserve it you are very good at what you do you're very entertaining and you got the best personality to do this❤❤ next year's going to be even better
Regardless of everyone else’s opinion you know what’s best for YOUR animals and YOUR farm and YOUR family. I will always support you and the decisions YOU (and your family) make on YOUR farm.
I like the TH-cam channel the best, Facebook isn’t what it use to be. Your videos stop and go constantly, at least on my iPad it does, I end up watching all your videos on my iPhone. Love horses and all of your other babies, I’m looking forward to this year with you, more babies on the way. Thank you
I never realized that you only started on UT a year ago. I found you a couple of months ago and your channel is so professional and personable. I love it.
I love love loove this channel so much! It’s like your own reality tv show. 😍 The editing is amazing and I love how you include the ”bloopers” in it too 😂 Seems like you have a great team making these, thank you to the whole KVS team🩵🩵🩵
Great recap! Thank you for being who you are in sharing your knowledge with those of us that don't have any or much exposure to the type of your lifestyle. Not many people are willing to be as transparent as you are. Thank you for that. Ready for 2024!
From an emergency vet tech - NEVER feel guilt for not being able to escape a tragedy. You know your animals, and you know as a large animal owner/breeder that a horse that cannot stand is not a horse with a good quality of life.
The way Jonathan grabs you and kisses you when you found out you won the bid (VS Code Red) I literally burst into tears. He loves you so much and I see all the love in your eyes when you look at him. He was so proud and happy to be there while your dreams came true
As a former breeder of livestock, tragedy happens. Babies sometimes don't make it. It never gets easier and it is always sad. But I always felt grateful that if I could ease their suffering I was able to help them. Farming is a lot of work but very rewarding ❤

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and animals with the world. My family looks forward to your videos and appreciate the raw honesty of farm life!
Thank you for sharing your adventures the up the down that we all have to go through but you do it with a smile which is a great example to follow
Patrick's life may have been short but he was loved, cared for, warm and fed .I think my first video of yours I saw was you doing an update on your broodmares around...September 2022 and I've been hooked ever since.I didn't know well anything about hunting ,apart form the fact I don't like it,but watching your video and learning about how hunting should be done and why and why it is not just a blood sport, I feel better about it and I understand it more now.

I think we need a year recap video every year now. This was so great ❤

You know in your heart you did everything you could for Patrick and I’m so happy you kept going and continued showing all that you have! So happy for you and to see what you do in 2024! ♥️

Can you do some day in the life vlogs here on TH-cam? Like from the time you wake up till when you go to bed. Sorry if that seems weird 🤣🤣 This saddleseat/saddlebred girl enjoys you and your animals!
I really love watching you with all your beautiful animals. I look forward to seeing them everyday.
Loved this! Been following about a year now. You & your family, animals and content are a favorite part of my day. Have learned so much and laugh, smile, cry & genuinely enjoy your farm life. So happy for your success and I hope it continues to grow & become beyond your wildest dreams!

Thank you, katie . I am living my life through you. You have what was my dream life. But im disabled now. And just found out i have colan cancer.
So please keep making these wonderful videos. God bless.
It's been a wild ride! Can't wait to see what this year brings for you!
The purchase makes me cry every single time! 💜
Gosh i remember all the highs and lows of foaling season 2023. From Penelope's dramatic entrance to poor Patrick, it was a lot. But i also learned so much and continue to learn. What happened to Patrick was devastating, but it was what needed to be done. Let us hope and pray that the 2024 foals are all healthy
I've been following you for 3 breeding seasons now and it's been fun watching your business grow. Definitely a lot of ups and downs but that's life. Your an amazing fun person to follow. Looking forward to 2024 for sure.
Little Patrick, he was a fighter and you did everything you could. ❤
Watching you and your family is the highlight of my day! Yes I spammed all of your videos when I first saw you because I was so intrigued in living life with you and it took me back to what my life should have been. My fiancé was murdered back in 99 and before that he and I had started our little farm together. We had built a house and a huge barn that the lights got finished after he passed. We had planned for having babies with our horses and just everything. Probably nothing like you have but we had plans that just stopped on a dime when he took his last breath. I couldn’t afford the payments on the house and land and because he was murdered at the house I knew I could never live there. So I had to sell. His kids came in and took all the horses from me and anything they could grab in a flash because yes they stole them. That’s a whole other story. Anyways I love watching you and smiling just thinking of all we had gone through to hopefully get to where you are and just how happy all of the chaos made me. Keep doing what your doing and remember the haters are gonna hate don’t let them get to you. I can’t wait to see what 2024 brings for you and your family. 🫶🤗🫶 May you and Jonathan always be as happy as you are today! ❤️ Never take life for granted ever! 🫶🤗🫶
I remember Patrick. I cried when you told us what happened. But it's part of farming.
I found your youtube at the very beginning but knew nothing of your other social media success. But YES, that is really fast amazing growth! I have just over 200 subscribers in about 2 months time, and I'm thrilled about each of and everyone of them! You did amazing with Patrick. Also, I'm a horse girl but I loved learning about the hunting. Everything you do is so heartfelt and such a blessing. I'm in Israel and your channel has been my escape for the last few months in particular! Thank you Katie!
I remember Patrick, he was such a handsome little guy. I cried each time there was an update on him. Having livestock is hard work, and yes there is more up than downs, but those downs hurt the most. You, and your family are amazing and the most loving people I know on SM. Love from the UK 😊
I lost my mom in November of 2022.... I started avidly watching your videos and those of a couple others. But your videos we a huge help to me coping with her leaving. I've not had the opportunity to meet you but I hope to one day.... you helped me make it through the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Thank you.....
what a journey! its gone so fast and I can't wait for the next years that are ahead!
My 8 year old daughter (at the time) showed me the “Petunia where are your ears? Petunia! There they are!” And I’ve been HOOKED ever since! I’m so glad she showed me that video. Also we sent out a gift to your P.O. Box lol We love and support you and your beautiful family and farm❤
I miss rooster soo much ❤ he was great. Love your videos
I just started watching after Poppy and Petunia joined the family. Thank you for sharing as much of your life that you do. You're amazing
I think you gotta share everything, even the bad, when you’re trying to show people what agriculture and animal husbandry is really like. People who have never worked with farm animals have no idea what that world is like. Things go wrong despite all your planning, and it can happen so very fast. Accidents happen. Nature happens. Hard decisions have to be made. I’m not really in that world anymore, because I live and work in an urban area nowadays, but I like to watch videos like yours as a reminder of what that life was like.
What a year!! 2024 will be a mini baby year and having Abigail around will just get better and better.
Patricks Facebook videos are the first that came across my feed and have been watching since. Ive always loved horses and was lucky to grow up with a friend who had horses so learned a little from her.
Thank you for giving us the good and bad of what happens with animal care. As a zookeeper, I know it's hard that not everything survives. It's tough and hurts, but so many good things happen to make it better.
I also love that you are an advocate for conservation. That is one of my passions in animal care.
I grew up in a farming and hunting family, so it's nice to see a modern version of it.
Keep being amazing, can't wait to see what 2024 brings.
I lost my son February 9th of last year and you have really helped me by distraction with TH-cam and Facebook..
Thank you so very much Katie and crew❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think that it is great that you show a balanced and not idealized view of farming. In some ways it would be easier to skip over the hard stuff but since your goal is to educate you include the good and the bad.
Goodness, you came up in my feed so I’ve almost watched from the start of your TH-cam channel. It’s a great channel and I love seeing all the horses and understanding how horses are bred. They’re all beautiful! I’ve never ever ridden a horse and have always wanted to, so I live vicariously through your channel. Thx for starting it!
I’m sorry for the bad situation with Patrick ❤ i’m sorry for your loss and i’m sorry rude people make you feel that loss even more ❤❤❤❤❤
love how this is edited! you are so genuine and that’s why we all love you!
I'm not a horse owner, and I've only been on one a handful of times, but I absolutely Love your videos! I've always had a love for horses, but owning one has never been in the cards! I've enjoyed living vicariously through you! By the way, you are stunningly beautiful, not only on the outside but the inside as well!
It’s just been so awesome to see you grow and as a mother of girls and boys it shows that your parents raised an amazing young woman making her dreams come true. ❤
Hank is such a handsome little sweetheart! I love Hank.
I enjoy following your channel! It’s lively, it’s Real and includes the joys and sorrows of farm/ranch life. Keep doing what you are doing and sharing this life. Your channel has a fun, entertaining and reality theme to it. Thanks for being out here!
For those who are critical and damning “think they know it alls” I say , unfollow the channel if all you can do is criticize. Second, if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.
Soooo tired of all the negativity.
Thanks Katie and family!
It made me cry, Katie talking of Patrick. Things happen in birth that can't be fixed. My heart goes out to all of you. However, look at all the blessings you all have seen. Great job everyone.
Posie & pumpkin are soo cute ❤
I'm so proud of what you have done in 23 I really hope you can knock 24 out has done 23 you are one fantastic beautiful gorgeous women and I absolutely loved all you video's ❤️
Girl, I’ve only been following you for 2023, ever since Penelope’s birth, crazy to listen to it all back! BUT…..you left off the cliff hanger of all cliff hangers with Maggie being so close to foaling in the final hours of 23!! 2023 was wild, cannot wait for 24!! 🥰🥰
Please don’t listen to the keyboard bullies. What you are doing is amazing. Your animals are so well cared for, happy and loved and trust you. For an animal to let a person sit with their newborn not long after birth and be so at ease and relaxed that Mama trust you 100% and it’s such a beautiful thing to see.
I love it all, especially the hunting 🩷
I remember when I first saw your videos and instantly I was hooked! The way you spoke about your animals was different from other content creators and I was so infatuated with all your 100+ horses, cows, mini cows, mini goats, mini donkeys and I’m so glad that you showed up on my feed.
I love the funny, happy segments. I especially love the educational segments. Good job to the whole crew. 💗🙏
You are absolutely living my dream of having good close family and friends, the farm including the minis, and the hunting and yet staying humble and so personable! Thank you so much for showing that it is possible!I love your content!
Thank you for taking us on your journey. What an amazing experience it has been. Can’t wait to see what 2024 brings❤
Aaw Sweet Patrick ❤ RIP 😢 it was no one’s fault sometimes it’s not meant to be 😢❤
Why are you guys deserve it you are very good at what you do you're very entertaining and you got the best personality to do this❤❤ next year's going to be even better
Regardless of everyone else’s opinion you know what’s best for YOUR animals and YOUR farm and YOUR family. I will always support you and the decisions YOU (and your family) make on YOUR farm.
I like the TH-cam channel the best, Facebook isn’t what it use to be. Your videos stop and go constantly, at least on my iPad it does, I end up watching all your videos on my iPhone. Love horses and all of your other babies, I’m looking forward to this year with you, more babies on the way. Thank you
Your videos have saved me so many times! Please never stop doing this…I’m living vicariously through you! ❤❤❤❤
I never realized that you only started on UT a year ago. I found you a couple of months ago and your channel is so professional and personable. I love it.
You're a great mom to all your babies. I really enjoy watching your videos. So don't listen to the ignorance of others. I love all your babies. ❤
Been here since Rosie’s group!! Now I watch you everyday. Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom. Showing the good and bad.
Thank you Katie. I’ve had so much fun watching you and your animals.Here’s to another amazing year in 2024!♥️🤗😊🐴🐷🐮🐐
I love love loove this channel so much! It’s like your own reality tv show. 😍 The editing is amazing and I love how you include the ”bloopers” in it too 😂 Seems like you have a great team making these, thank you to the whole KVS team🩵🩵🩵
27 seconds in and I’m already crying! So happy I have been blessed in watching you the last two years.
I have loved this year, watching your videos!😊
Katie you have one hell of a year!!! 😊 I have been here for all of it!!!🌹
Great recap! Thank you for being who you are in sharing your knowledge with those of us that don't have any or much exposure to the type of your lifestyle. Not many people are willing to be as transparent as you are. Thank you for that. Ready for 2024!
I watched Poppy and Petunia videos but this year was the first year I really started following and I’m so glad I did!
Can't wait to see what adventures 2024 brings
