Violet and Cupcake

Our 2010 babies will be ready to breed this fall....we look forward to these two beautiful heifers becoming mothers and continuing our lines of healthy grass-fed cattle.

Baby on Board

As calving season for us gets closer, we can really start to see it in our cows.....the sleepless nights will be here before we know it! The anticipated excitement of new calves is laced with a general anxiety that all will be well....

Signs of Spring!

The girls enjoy some water-cooler gossip as we finally see the grass again!

Chickens at Work

The ladies aren't too interested in spending much time in the snow, but they are happy to dig around in their bedding looking for scratch and kitchen treats. This makes their winter bedding excellent compost to get the garden going in the spring!

Staying Warm in the Snow

Despite what feels like endless days of snow, sleet, and sub-zero temperatures, the herd is doing very well. We are continually amazed by nature's ability to care for her own....with their winter coats and some good quality hay they keep themselves warm and dry in any weather.

Waiting for Breakfast

The herd has access to pasture 24/7, 365 days a year. Of course, there comes a point each fall when the grass begins to die and we supplement their diet with hay from an excellent local producer, O'Dell Farms in Slate Hill. The girls got so excited for their hay this morning they were waiting at the gate as soon as they heard the tractor start. They were so inspired they tried a brief run before settling back to their normal leisurely stroll.
