[do u take all of ur photis in ur lhone or do you have a camera]

@amber_marshall_farm : all my instagram photos are taken with my iphone 6. [SMILEY]

[what was the name of your first horse? and what type of breed was it?]

@amber_marshall_farm : he was a chestnut quarter horse named monty

[how can you tell her and tennessee apart?]

@amber_marshall_farm : all my cattle look very different. the hardest ones to tell apart are jewel and her daughter summer because they are the exact same size and colour. but once i’m closer i can tell. that’s what i love about jerseys, they all have different looks to them. a herd of black angus would be much harder to tell apart.

[how many head will you keep?]

@amber_marshall_farm : i want to keep my numbers under 20, but it all depends what my cows give me and at that point i will decide what to keep.

[do you own a donkey too?]

[no she doesn’t]

@amber_marshall_farm : i think he was kidding… he meant jewel looks like a donkey in this picture… lol

[lol, that is an awesome pic! on set at the beautiful heartland ranch today?]

@amber_marshall_farm : nope we are at a different location today. [SUNGLASSES SMILEY]

[hey do all your cattle have different personality to each other]

@amber_marshall_farm : totally different. some are more out going, some more cuddly, some playful and some lazy…. lol i never knew how much personality cattle had until i got these guys! funny enough, jewel who is pictured here is the laziest in the whole herd, but here she was just let out into our riding arena area and she decided it was really fun to run around and play in the dirt. lol

[hi amber, did you buy your farm before you met shawn or did you buy it together? was there any other farms you were interested in? (ps. english isn’t my 1st language)]

@amber_marshall_farm : i purchased my farm exactly one month before i met shawn. and i didn’t move in until after we had met because he actually flew out and helped me move.

[how long have you had your cattle for?]

@amber_marshall_farm : i had 2 very old long horn steers given to me 5 years ago, but i wasn’t very close with them. these cattle i’ve had for 2 years.

[careful jewel, you have a precious gem on board (hopefully)! don’t turn it into a milkshake with too much crazy play! is she still hanging out with toro? or did he accomplish his mission?]

@amber_marshall_farm : haha yeah she is still out with him. i also just put summer and ella with him as well… so here is to hoping! i will have them all vet checked at the end of july to see how the “torito” did. my other bull tuff just has one girlfriend (tennessee) this year… haha poor guy. and gem and valentine get to be single teenagers together for this year. [SUNGLASSES SMILEY]

[how long have you had jewel?]

@amber_marshall_farm : i’ve had her 2 years, but she is 4

[are you doing anything special with your 9 day hiatus?]

@amber_marshall_farm : going to try and enjoy some “downtime” on the farm. spend it with shawn and our friends. [SMILEY]
