Foggy Days

Fog can be bad, but it can be so very beautiful. As can so many other views on the farm.

Training Day

Training a new employee can be stressful, entertaining, fun, and tedious. Our new employee is picking things up quickly. It is very important for cow hands to learn to treat the cattle with tenderness, swiftness, and a low stress as possible. This new calf went through the chute, got a vaccine, castration, and ear tag. Our trainee, Sally, prepped the materials, gave our little baby a tag and a respiratory nasal spray. She moved animals all over the property, returned the baby to momma, put out a new game cam to watch our resident beaver. I don’t think she’s named him yet. Any ideas on a good beaver name?

New Year

“New Year New You”, isn’t that the saying most companies use to suck people into buying their product?

Well, we are hoping this is true for us. For starters, my mom will be retiring from her teaching job in June, so we will have a new face on the team. We always have a new stock of calves being born at the end of the year, so we have a bunch of super cute little babies running our terrorizing momma cows. Besides new faces, we are making a few changes, and adding some new products, information outlets, and events.

Look out for the new corn maze! We started this event last year, but we didn’t get enough rain through the summer to hold the event. There will be multiple picture opportunities, challenges, and games. Watch for our newsletter at the end of each month. We are starting a blog now too.

Hope everyone has a great year in 2020!
