More adventures in farming with Sarah.....while we rebuild following the fire, the majority of the milk cows live at a farm about 6 miles away from us. Usually the drive is mostly about watching for fat deer to wander across the road directly in front of the truck, today was a little more exciting 😬😂

Exciting things happening today! Let's build a barn!

It wasn't summer on a farm in Wisconsin without listening to the Brewers and Bob Uecker on a crackly AM barn radio station. We will miss you, Mr. Baseball.

We were blessed to know Ron Sersland for many years, so to hear of his tragic passing was quite a shock. He never missed an opportunity to chat, or to take time to send a personal note recognizing special accomplishments of our family. He will be deeply missed by the dairy industry and our family.

Thank you to the group of international visitors with International Protein Sires for visiting us today!
