Christmas with the Animals





Enjoying a hot bran mash, a relaxing morning coffee, and some alfalfa cubes Christmas Morning

Winter on the Farm




Winter presents some interesting challenges for us. The pasture is dead and frozen, water freezes regularly, and the short days mean we do the majority of our animal care in the dark. On the bright side, the cattle aren't bothered at all by the cold or the snow, and it does make for some great pictures! The shorter work day also means we get some time to catch up on some indoor work and make plans for next year. Right now, we are both enjoying reading books by Gene Logsdon, and looking forward to attending the CCE grass-fed beef conference in January.
