Millie Bobby Brown is proud of looking after her very own farm.

The Stranger Things star, 21 — who was recently spotted teasing her taut tummy in a crop top — took to Instagram to show off her sprawling Georgia farm complete with calves, dogs, chicks, donkeys and goats on Friday.

The actress walked barefoot in the pasture as she tended to the various animals, giving them head scratches and feed along the way.

She admired her livestock and sat with them, giving each quality one-on-one time as the sun began to set.

‘My everything,’ she captioned the post as Ophelia Wilde’s Slow Living played in the background.

Back in March, the British actress opened up to Heart Radio about how her livestock — who she calls her ‘babies’ — ground her when she is not out ‘playing movie star’ in public.

‘There’s a bond. I bottled bed all of my babies,’ she told the station. ‘So all of them know me as ‘mum’.

‘You come from a premiere and you think you’re on top of the world and then you go back home and I’m shoveling donkey poo.

‘There’s really not much else to it. I mean that is truly what grounds me I’m like “Oh yeah they don’t know who I am nor do they care. They just want me to feed them,”‘ she quipped.

As for getting more adorable farm content from the Damsel star, she said she is ‘interested’ in the concept to share her love of animals with the world.

She gushed: ‘I loved The Farm with Jeremy Clarkson. So for me, I really liked that.

‘So I would be really interested because I do think that actually, I know, I know it sounds ridiculous but I don’t think people know enough about animals and how it truly works.’

Eagles lose a heartbreaker in triple OT to Georgia State

STATESBORO, Ga. (WTOC) – Just ten days prior to Georgia Southern’s matchup against Georgia State on Saturday, the Eagles picked up their first Sun Belt win in Atlanta against the Panthers. However, the script was flipped the second time around, as Georgia State pulled out an 88-83 win in triple overtime.

After trailing 22-11 after the first quarter, the Eagles came back to make it a 5-point game at the half. Georgia Southern led by three with under a minute left in regulation, but Georgia State hit a three-pointer to send it to the first overtime period.

In overtime, the Eagles trailed by four with 15 seconds left on the clock, but this time it was Southern with a clutch shot — Paris Gaines made a three-pointer to bring the Eagles within one. She followed it up by making one of two free throws to send it to double OT.

In double overtime, Shanti Simmons made a layup with 5 seconds remaining to tie the game at 76 and push it to triple OT. In that final period, Georgia Southern had possession trailing by one with under a minute to play, but the Panthers got a steal, extended their lead, and went on to get the win 88-83.

Simmons led the way for the Eagles with 22 points. Mckenna Eddings followed not far behind with 20, while Gaines made some clutch baskets in extra time.

“This was a tough one,” said head coach Hana Haden. “I think that this will probably be a tough one for everyone to get over — you’re that close. I think for us, something that we’ve been talking about for a lot of the year is trying to play for 40 minutes, and now tonight, we had to play for 55 minutes, and I think if you clean up some things in the first 40 minutes, then maybe it doesn’t have to come to that. It’s really tough whenever you fight as hard as our group did.”

Bird flu detected in commercial poultry flock in Georgia, officials say

Bird flu was detected in a commercial poultry flock in Georgia for the first time since the current outbreak started in 2022, officials announced on Friday.

The positive case of the H5N1 strain of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza was found in Elbert County. It was confirmed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

This marks the fifth detection of the virus in a flock in the state, but the first one in a commercial poultry operation. Last week, GDA officials announced that the virus was found in a flock of 13 chickens and ducks in Clayton County.

“This is a serious threat to Georgia’s number one industry and the livelihoods of thousands of Georgians who make their living in our state’s poultry industry,” said Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper. “We are working around the clock to mitigate any further spread of the disease and ensure that normal poultry activities in Georgia can resume as quickly as possible.”

As a result of the detection, all in-state poultry exhibitions, shows, swaps, meets and sales have been suspended until further notice.

Earlier this year, a Louisiana resident died after being hospitalized with bird flu, marking the first U.S. death from the H5N1 virus.

Since 2003, the World Health Organization has counted more than 400 deaths from the virus.
