Hay season has begun!

Hay season is finally here after a rainy start.  We had our first cutting of orchard grass wrapped for haylage due to so much rain.  The cows don't mind, they love this stuff!

The rain was really good for our newly planted field, and we are finally getting some dry hay cut and in the barn.  We should have enough to feed all of our critters soon, and some very nice orchard grass available for sale.

Planting season

We've kept ourselves busy and socially distanced this Spring planting another field of orchard grass.  I think my dad enjoyed getting back into the tractor seat and helping a little too!

A few pictures from our farm this Spring.

Christmas calf

On Christmas day, we welcomed a new calf to our farm.  The timing was not lost on us as we spent the evening in the barn creating a cozy manger for them since the thermometer was dropping.

Both are doing well and Holly, the new heifer, is doing well.

Our cows are grass fed, but they do get occasional clover screening pellets as a feed supplement in the winter and as treats.  It really helps when you need to load them in a trailer, a little bribery goes a long way! 

Harriet, born late March 2019 has such a sweet personality.  Here she is sharing her clover pellets with Holly, who at a month old is nibbling at them. 

Weighing time

We have added a great addition to our farm, a livestock scale.  We can now get an accurate weight on our animals instead of relying on a weight tape for weaning, vaccinations, or in the case of the newborn calves (and goats of all ages)... holding them while standing on the bathroom scale!  

RAM Tiffi 1,100#

RAM Lakisha 1,150#

Harriet 550# at 7 months, 2 weeks post weaning

It was a livestock scale kit that included the necessary parts, and the platform was home built.  The trial run was done in the shop to test it out, then moved out to the barn to weigh our bull Henry.  It did take some bribery with clover pellets to get them on it.  Like everything around the farm, it's a work in progress.
