Sometimes on a farm....

Sometimes you bring 300 feet of garden hose in to your bathroom every night to thaw so you can water livestock

Sometimes you have to plug the tractor in for 18+ hours before it will finally turn over and fire up

Sometimes the milk pump freezes multiple times in the middle of trying to milk cows

Sometimes the temperature reaches -20 degrees and the wind just won't quit

Sometimes you break open waters for them to freeze back over 10 minutes later

Sometimes the tractor gets stuck when you're just trying to put hay out

Sometimes the frustration freezes to your face as it leaks out of your eyes

Sometimes you call the vet and it still doesn't fix it

Sometimes you go to bed wondering if tomorrow will be any better

Sometimes your heart gets broken

Sometimes all your hard work feels like it doesn't even matter

But sometimes you stand outside under the stars when the winds finally calms and all you hear is the crunch of hooves on the snow and munching of hay. And sometimes the sun comes out the next morning and you feel like it's getting better.

The one thing that is always true is that we were chosen for this life. Farmers were entrusted with this responsibility because we are strong enough to keep going when it gets hard and have the faith to know that we are doing what we are called to do. So as we hang up the coveralls and coats and dry the gloves and hats and warm our cold skin, we crawl into a warm bed and rest to wake and do it all again tomorrow.

This weekend Jaylynn finally received her heifers from the Midwest Heritage Program. She was hoping to get one black/whiteface heifer, but they gave her two!! She was super excited. They are doing well and have settled in with the rest of the cows.

Jaxson and I took a little time this morning to go on a little deer hunt. Though we prefer to eat beef, we love to snack on homemade deer jerky.

We have prepared the best we can for the weather that is coming in. There are no snow days for a farmer…. The cows still need fed and the ice still needs chopped, but we enjoy farming so we deal with it. We have been pretty fortunate this year.

We hope everyone has a blessed and safe week.
