This week Aaron brought 8 new Belted Galloways to the farm. They appear to be loving the feed and also my head scratches - I’d say they will fit in quite fine!

Busted!!

The walk of shame back to pasture - The herd had a fun night checking out the area “outside” their pasture. Thankful for friends that notice when they aren’t where they are supposed to be.

Now they are all sleeping!

This little one has been spotted hanging out with our herd the past few days. We believe it to be a cattle egret (neither Aaron nor I are bird experts). It is cool to watch but we are hopeful it moves along soon as this is very far out of its natural habitat range.

❌❌ TRAFFIC ALERT ❌❌ if traveling Church Hill Rd this afternoon you may be stopped for the crossing of our herd. We understand this can be an inconvenience and they don’t always cooperate. We will do our best to move them quickly and efficiently but there are calves that have a mind of their own. We appreciate your patience and understanding!!

This mama missed the memo - calves are supposed to be born in May/June. What a lovely surprise on a sunny fall day.

Second crop peas and oats. We intentionally let the seed shatter and then let the cattle trample it in. A month later we had 16 + inches of cool season sweetness! Two crops one planting.

On most days the cows are my focus. They ARE my job. But yesterday they had to wait. Yesterday was about Liz. We traveled to the Blue Hill Fair to watch and support Liz at the horse show. So proud of her and her accomplishments with HER passion!

Very thankful for these animals waiting impatiently for yesterday’s move so we could watch Liz at her show in Blue Hill. Too often I fall into the trap of making our job the priority. Today was for Liz to be the focal point. So proud of her and her accomplishments!

This isn’t my typical post as we always try to stay positive. But this, this right here made me angry, sad and discouraged! I’ve watched my husband work on these fields for years to get them to high quality grasses for our cows. Hours, money on seed and time have all gone into it.

This morning at approximately 3:30 a.m. (neighbor saw it) someone decided it looked like a good place to do cookies and joy ride. This is just a small sample of where they drove. How disheartening. What may have seemed like fun to these people sure did cause anger and sadness to us. Please remember, what you see as a fun place to play could be how someone’s earns a living!

Morning views!

The cows will be moving tomorrow so for today I’m going to enjoy watching them laze about in front of my garden while I sip my morning coffee!

Today was cow/calf pasture change day. Crossing 52 cows with 35 of their calves on Church Hill Road is no easy task. Stress levels were high as a dozen calves decided they didn’t need to follow mom.

We want to thank everyone who drove by or got stuck sitting for their patience and understanding. The calves took a little more convincing than we had hoped but currently are all happily resting with their moms on the right side of the road!!

HIVE week at Leavitt and we were lucky enough to have a class visit. Aaron talked to them about grazing cows, soil, animal health and compost. I showed them horses, pigs and chickens. The finale was a lunch of burgers and hot dogs from our market - This is what charges us!
