Matt Raney of HOMESTEAD RESCUE recently welcomed a daughter to the world! On August 21, 2021, Matt and his wife Katie welcomed a healthy baby girl weighing 6 pounds 9 ounces. The happy parents already have a son, Indy, who couldn't be happier about becoming a big brother.

"Indy has been excited to be a big brother long before we had Ruby in our lives! He calls her “Little Sister” and helps and cares for a Ruby really well," says Matt.

When asked why they chose the name Ruby, Matt said, "Ruby is a beautiful name that we both liked, it also is a place in Alaska on the Yukon river with less than 200 people. Katie’s Dad spent a lot of time working in and around the town of Ruby, and always spoke fondly of it."

See more of this adorable family on new episodes of HOMESTEAD RESCUE Sundays at 9p on Discovery, and catch up on previous seasons on discovery+.
