Cathy spent the day with her son, daughter, and soon-to-be daughter-in-law, along with her future daughter-in-law’s mother and brother, enjoying a hands-on experience with Highland cows and Shetland sheep. From cuddling fluffy sheep to snapping selfies with the shaggy Highland cows, the day was filled with smiles and memorable moments.

Front row, L to R: Yvonne McClain (mother of Cathy’s son’s fiancée), Hannah McClain (Cathy’s son’s fiancée), and Jacob Jackson (Cathy’s son).
Back row, L to R: Tyson Eaton (Hannah’s brother), Sara Jackson (Cathy’s daughter), and Cathy Peirick.

“Muddy boots, happy hearts, and Highland cows… I’d call that a pretty perfect Mother’s Day,” Cathy shared.
