The Pease Family Farm

10/05/2026

We started weaning some of the calves this weekend, along with introducing them to halters and teaching them the fine art of standing tied.

Right now, we’re not asking them to lead or do anything fancy. We’re simply teaching them that the halter means it’s time to stand quietly and get comfortable being handled.

Some are taking it pretty well… and some are wondering why we suddenly have so many rules. 😂

Weaning is a big transition for a calf, so we’re keeping everything calm, consistent and giving them plenty of time to figure it out.

It’s a little work now, but teaching them to be calm and manageable makes a HUGE difference down the road!

Fall calves weren't exactly the plan… but sometimes the cows have plans of their own. 😂🍂

This pretty little heifer was born this week after her mama managed to get in with the bull when she wasn't supposed to. And apparently, she made sure it counted! 😉

She's sired by PVF Parkway 51M and we're pretty excited to watch this girl grow.

Not quite the timing we had in mind, but we'll take a pretty heifer any day! ❤️

We are a day late in posting this, but what a cool thing to get to see here in Michigan!

This is a sight that may be common for Monarch enthusiasts or something you might catch on a nature program, but for us, this is a first here on our farm.

The Monarch butterfly makes an amazing migration, and we were lucky enough to catch the very start of it right here at The Pease Family Farm.

Wow, wow, wow, what a crazy 24-plus hours we have had here on the farm!

As many know, here in Michigan we have had a bit of a storm system rolling through. We lost power multiple times and were without it for the majority of yesterday and today.

With the strong winds, we also got this amazingly full rain gauge. So we know we got at least 4" of rain, and likely more on top of that. It is important to note that rain gauges lose accuracy in strong winds, heavy downpours, and as they approach being full.

So yes, that is a lot of rain and not something that Michigan typically experiences!

Well, it is already that time of year. While walking our standing stockpile lots today, I was happy to find that our legumes are performing strongly.

One of the goals of a season-long stockpile, whether it is under UHDG or other grazing programs, is to build a healthy seed bank. Seeing the progression over the year—from flowering, to pod development, to seed deployment—is one of those things that makes you stop and ask yourself if you're growing grass and pasture or raising cattle.

Personally, I like to think I'm a grass grower. My wife prefers to think of us more as cattlemen. But maybe that's exactly how it should be. Healthy grass grows healthy cattle, and healthy cattle help build even better grass. Having both perspectives might just be one of the greatest strengths of our farm.
