That legislation is subject to a [...]
Tex on Tex
Talk about a cowboy. Here we have Tex the son in the cowboy hat, riding on Tex, mommom’s freezer beef.
The stated idea was to use a cow to round up the cows. I’m not so sure that worked well. But, I think the real objective of having a little farm adventure was [...]
Moo Cow and other farm animals
He knows she’s a moo cow and he’s not afraid of her. He runs right up to her and moo’s with her.
He doesn’t like the chickens much. He tricked them by walking around the yard with an empty feed scoop.
They kept begging. He kept shouting “NO” and pointing his finger at them.
He’s a small farm boy….but he [...]
Pregnant Dairy Goat
We have a pregnant dairy goat about to give birth to one or two kids. I’m guessing one…others in the family are guessing twins. We are anxiously awaiting!

Ice Weather
We are very thankful the temperatures are supposed to be pulling up into the 40’s tomorrow!!! We’re wondering if that is going to happen!
We’ve enjoyed the winter wonderland. We had 3 days of snow falling from the sky last week…not accumulating much on the ground…but definitely beautiful! We’ve had I’ve-lost-count-how-many days of below freeeeezing weather. The [...]

The Milk Nazis Continue Their March
“It’s not about health, it’s about control”
In the furore around Home on the Range dairy, statements from Health Authorities resulted in headlines such as “Raw milk hazardous to health”.
They’d have you believe that ‘every glass of raw milk is seething with bad germs’. Which is utter nonsense. In fact, as it comes from a healthy grass-fed [...]
Snow Boy Walking on Ice
The kids thought this was the greatest thing. Today they were officially able to walk, slip and slide all the way across the pond.

Farm Boy Milking May the Milk Cow
Our boys are the main milkers here on our farm. They have strong hands to prove it. I am very grateful to them for all their hard work around here.

Farm Friends Meet
May’s our sweet milk cow. She’s very curious about the new lambs that have been staying in her milking stall. Or maybe she just wishes she could stay in the warm stall and lay around on the cozy hay like they do?
Winter Ice
The ponds have been frozen. Not yet frozen enough to ice skate all the way across. Although they have had some good laughs at the ducks slipping and sliding all over the pond. The kids are sure hoping the drop in temperature coming up later this week will do the trick.
