This week we were lucky to bring home a new friend, Buttercup. Buttercup is a Belgian Draft mule who was slated to go for slaughter after being sold at the New Holland auction last week. Instead, he has come to Hickory Field Farm to help us out with our efforts to become more sustainable by reducing our use of the tractor. First, he will have some much needed R&R. He has already become a stoic guardian of the laying hens, and is especially watchful of the new pullets we added this month.
