Our cows move to fresh grass on a daily basis.....generally, this only involves them walking quietly to the next section when we pull the wire aside.  Every few weeks, however, they like to kick their heels up and have a good run before they get back to eating!

Buttercup at Work

New Addition

Today we brought home a new bull!  He is a Scottish Highland, a breed known for their hardiness, good temperament, and a distinctive double coat that allows them to thrive in just about any climate.  By bringing in a new breed we are adding new genetics and continuing to improve the health of our herd through hybrid vigor.

Every year, we try and grow as many of our own veggies as possible, but the garden often suffers as we focus our attention on the animals, farm maintenance, family events, work, play, etc, etc.  So although we will still have a garden this year, we got the opportunity to work out a barter system with J&A Farm in Goshen.  Today we got herbs, greens, lettuce, horseradish, and popcorn!  Can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings!

The girls are really enjoying the grass now that we finally got some rain!  Each year the pasture continues to improve; hopefully the weather cooperates and the grass just keeps growing!

Prime Rib Roast

We were so excited to get this petite prime rib roasts back from the butcher. At about 3lbs, they are the perfect size for 2-4 people, and absolutely delicious! We are enjoying one tonight for Sunday dinner, served with a simple green salad and yorskshire pudding....mmmmm!

Petite Prime Rib Roast:

-Remove roast from freezer, remove packaging, rinse, and defrost thoroughly in refrigerator (at least 36hrs).

-At least one hour before cooking, remove roast from refrigerator, pat dry with paper towels, and allow to come to room temperature.

-Preheat oven to 450.

-Season roast with salt and pepper, rub cut sides with butter, rub entire roast with herbs de provence (or season to taste).

-Place roast, ribs down, in roasting pan.

-Roast at 450 for 15-20min.

-Turn oven down to 325, roast for 18 min/lb for medium rare. We recommend not serving grass-fed beef well done!

-Remove from oven and tent with foil, let rest for at least 15min.

-To serve, remove rib section from bottom and slice to desired thickness against the grain.

Enjoy!
