Two Sparrows Farm

At Two Sparrows Farm we believe in stewarding creation - from our bodies, to our land and our animals.

We are a grass-based livestock farm & micro-dairy producing healthy, humane and sustainably-produced food.

September gave us some whiplash with how quick and busy it was!! 😂😳
…
But, suddenly, it’s October and our hay is finally done, we have some fresh babies that were born without a fuss and we’re enjoying some of the best fall grazing that we’ve had in years. 💚🌱
…
Even with the dip in temperatures coming in, the frost date doesn’t look imminent and our pastures are continuing to flourish. 🐄 We have beef finishing on this gorgeous grass and we still have cute kids working alongside us every day!! 🥰

It’s always a surprise when you walk out and find a freshly born calf on a cow’s EXACT due date, but it’s even more of a surprise when you find that she has beef-cross twins completely unassisted!! 😳
…
This is the first time we’ve had twins born full-term and everyone is healthy. 🙌 We have previously had a cow miscarry twins around 6 months and another older mom twin but neither twin was super hardy and it was a rough calving on her. One of her twins survived and the other didn’t. 😢
…
But Miss Tilda here popped out a healthy Hereford-cross heifer and bull with no issues and was happily munching her placenta when I came out to milk. 🤗
…
We are giving her calcium pills and monitoring for milk fever since she’s a heavier producer but she’s otherwise doing great! 🙂
…
It has truly been a good LABOR day weekend!! 😜
…
PS - cute baby Ben photo since he’s discovering a love for equipment lately. 💙

Moving pastures is so easy that a 9 year old can do it! 😂 Well, a 9 year old at least 😜

So happy to see MDARD highlighting grazing dairy!! 🥛 There are so many benefits for farmers, for the cows, for the land and for the consumer 🌱

When you have the opportunity to not just speak to, but actually host, a person with some power to affect change, it’s an easy YES. 🙌

We had a genuinely enjoyable visit with our US Congressman Tom Barrett last week on our farm. No TV crews. This was not a photo op - in fact, he was embarrassed to take a photo since he was dressed for the funeral he had to attend immediately after our visit. 🫣
…
In his “free” time, Tom is visiting as many people & businesses in as many industries as possible- last week it was farming. All kinds of farms - big, small, conventional, organic, regenerative, family, industrial, etc. And just listen. 🚜
…
We talked policy, licensing & regulations, market trends, food labeling & additives, interest rates, fuel and input prices, direct-sales v wholesale, raw milk and the dairy industry. 🥛
…
On a personal level, he’s balancing a family with young kids, school and sports schedules. We talked about the non-glamorous aspects of the job- rollaway cots and dorm-style clothing racks. He asked thoughtful questions, and had a great sense of humor. 😀
…
And, for total transparency, we are not registered to either party. We are moderate, independent voters - we have an incredibly diverse district who all need representation in Congress and I think that’s something Tom takes seriously. 🇺🇸
…
We are feeling grateful for the opportunity to connect! International news may dominate the headlines, but local and domestic issues never lose their importance. ❤️🤍💙

Late Summer has brought more rain than we expected after such a dry, smoky July 🌧️
…
We also had a bit of a baby boom with 4 calves born in the last few weeks. 😍
…
Fresh cows + fresh pastures = 🥛 💚
…
We finally have BOTH our tractor and skid steer fixed 🤑 and Dan has spent a ton of time getting caught up on making hay. We are still waiting on a break in the rain to mow, rake and bale the final 20 acres.
…
With the rain we *might* also get another cutting in September 🙌 but, for now, we have been focusing on a lot of farm cleanup that has fallen down the priority list over the summer. Anyone have weeds that seemed to have appeared overnight?! 🫣
…
Two weeks ago, we had an emergency vet visit for a test injury to one of our heifers. Clinton vet is always phenomenal and we are hoping she heals well. 🙏
…
Like everyone else, we are trying to soak in the last glimmers of summer! 😊

The simple beauties of summer on the farm 💚
…
A duck nest full of eggs that we stumbled upon while moving pastures. We were sure to leave everything alone and checked that mama came back. 🦆
…
Two new babies and fresh mamas 🐄
…
With this next round of heat coming in, we are keeping all the barns open, bedded & available for the herd to cool off in more shade that what our pastures offer.
…
We will also start offering hay for easy calories during the heat - as a general rule, cows love cool more than warm so they tend to lose their appetite in the heat and want to just laze near water in the cooler shade…doesn’t everyone?! 😜

Rainy day baby 🌧️
…
Jolene dropped this gorgeous bull calf *just* in between a the rounds of rain yesterday 🤗
…
We had the perfect amount of time to scoop him and get him into a calf hutch with fresh straw, get mama milked and a calcium pill before going right into evening chores. 👍
…

The skies finally opened on our farm today and we are so grateful! 🥰
…
We were able to get all of our freshly-made bales into the barn last night and the rain is much-needed for our grazed and mowed pastures. 🌱
…
The blue skies will return, but like any good Michigander, I was happy to see some gray skies and rain fall. 🌧️

1st cutting of hay is pretty much in the books…kind of 😅
…
Due to a number of equipment issues and the variable drying time that happened this week, most of our 1st cutting was made into dry round bales (not the high-moisture wet wrapped bales we normally make!) so we have quite a bit of work still to do moving the bales up to the barn and getting them put away. 😬
…
But, all of the first cutting is done on the home farm 🙌 And, we now have new rear tires on the tractor 😜 We also may need to replace the thermostat/temperature regulator on the tractor😢
…
We still have to cut our rented fields in June, but we have a brief pause for now. 😊 Mainly, to fix the tractor and get our dry bales under a roof before it rains. 🤷‍♀️
…
The good news is that Dan saved a turkey nest while mowing 🥰 We have an amazing stretch of dry weather to work with, and, it’s peony season 😍
