Hello Everyone!
What a beautiful Spring we have had and it seems like we are moving very quickly into Summer. It’s been very hot here on the farm with a few storms that pop up and make it humid and feel like July. We have had a very busy April which has kept us on our toes. Between finishing up on some welding jobs, getting meat chicks, rotating cows and moving pigs it’s been a full month. Let’s get started…
The Herd
The herd has been doing well this month. They are very happy and fat cows as we have started rotational grazing this month. Once they got on grass they fattened right up and have been very spoiled.
Lots of little Calves
We have had a bunch of calves this month too. The frisky little things are doing well. We had one calf get rejected by the mama but we are working to bond them back and it is slow progress but they are coming back together. Everyone else are happy little playful things.
The Pigs
The piggies had an exciting event this month. They have moved from the barn to the pig field. They were so excited. They loaded pretty well and have really enjoyed the wide open spaces of the field, especially the fresh forage.
Pasture Chickens
The Pasture Chickens are now on pasture. They have been on pasture for the last several weeks and are doing really well. They are eating like little piranhas and getting nice and fat and happy!
Little Farm Hand
As Little Farm Hand continues to get bigger her ability to be involved with chores and projects grows too. It has been such a gift to watch her grow and learn how to be involved. Adventures are endless on the farm, especially with a little person!
