Please scroll if you’re squeamish! Live birth.
Happy Mother’s Day!! One of our beautiful heifers (female cow that has never calved) gave birth to a healthy little bull all by herself. Couldn’t be more text book than this 🥰
Like most first time mommas, notice her expression looking at her calf for the first time. Terrified and in awe.
Tag some first time mom’s in the comments!

It is with a heavy heart we announce that the female corgi we intended to breed in 2024 recently passed after being hit by a truck.
She passed immediately and didn’t suffer. She was very deeply loved, and will be terribly missed.

What a fun morning!!! If you guys have kiddos ages 8-17 bring them to PI at the airport to Fly. Both Teddy and Trai were BEAMING as their amazing pilots allowed them to steer and fly for a bit!
Thank you Northern Maine Flying Club for a fantastic experience for the kids, and parents.

Holy fudgicle!! I made this chocolate crèmeux last night with some cream and milk I needed to use up.

It’s frozen right now, but scoops like a thick smooth custard and tastes like a smooth, rich fudgicle ice cream 😮
I made my lovely husband Travis A. Parent try it. He’s gotten tired of all the sweets I’ve been making haha so if you guys would like me to bake more for you, please reach out!!

We will be a bit busy for the next week getting the cows out to pasture and the pigs situated, but after that… hold on tight, you’ve got some homemade summer sweets coming your way! 🥰😊
Some of our best hits are going to be our home made ice cream, fudgicles, cakes, pies, and custard desserts!
I’m so excited to make some lilac sweet tea, ice cream and custards. Summer is on its way :)

Excuse the language. But this flaming gay man is absolutely my spirit animal and I have 100% done and said a majority of this stuff 😂😂

Mother’s day!!
This is Big Momma. She is a beautiful BIG girl, we estimate her weight at close to 1,800 pounds live weight before being out on pasture for the summer.

There’s a reason I caught a picture of her mid cud chewing. Look at those teeth!! Zoom in if you have to.
Notice her lateral incisors? (The teeth all the way to the sides). At six years of age those teeth grow in line with the rest of the front teeth. Hers are beginning to wear back down again (completely normal).
This shows her advanced age! She is one of the last of our herd that came from before we started our ear piercings (as seen on 2202 chilling in the background).
Big momma has minimal records before 2018, so we know this girl is not only older than 6, but approaching 10 years old!
Due to her advanced age (for a beef cow), she ended up losing her calf this spring because of a bit of arthritis in her hip, she accidentally squished her calf trying to get up 😢
Knowing she has been an incredible momma, producing some of the best calves on our farm to date, and knowing how deeply it hurt her (she’s been very depressed since losing her calf), I’ve trained her to understand what a halter is and how to respond to a lead rope so I can bring her in to spoil her without all of the other cows barging into the barn.
She’s been getting some joint supplements and a bit of cow aspirin for the past two weeks. We’ve seen some great improvements, decreased pain response (limping/walking slowly with uneven stride lengths/tail swatting without flys/facial expression etc), and increase of positive mood (no pun intended) and mobility!!
She’s been such a good girl and has stopped trying to kick me when I treat her udder (they get kind of droopy with age just like us, so I have been making sure they stay clean and not get any bacteria in there).

So I was doing some research on pricing for ice cream sandwiches for sh*ts and giggles…
What the heck??!
Who would pay that for two cookies and a scoop
Of ice cream???
Wayon. Friggin crooks.

05/12/2023

Doing some experimenting (for science of course) Three sizes of cookie dough ice cream! I’ll see how long they last in the freezer once the kiddos are back from their mom’s this weekend 😂😊

I made apple cider vinegar with apple scraps :)

And kind of tastes like apple wine instead of vinegar.
… I made apple wine 🥴

Why buy a robot vacuum when you have an Ernie?
Pros:
Cleans wet and dry messes.
Can anticipate a mess and waits patiently outside the kitchen area.
Cons:
Will not clean up vegetable messes
Snores loudly
