These kids have a really good time getting together monthly and studying a different species of animals at the farm. Tonight was goats. Always serving popcorn. They finished off tonight with a fun little race who could feed their bottle lamb the quickest (Saved me a 15 min. job).

What a wonderful day at Ira Acres!

We’re celebrating a Grand Champion breed class with Remi shown by Ashlyn Kujat.

Ashlyn has a way of making everything she’s part of just a little more special, and today was no exception. Congratulations on a job so well done!

Everyone that knows the beef farmers on the farm know how they’re enjoying today!

It’s been 16 years since the farm had anyone show at an ALSA llama show and we had 4 llamas at the Hobo Hootenanny yesterday. Our rust showed, but it was a kick off for a great learning experience.

We finished up lambing season in 11 days with this cherry on the top, ewe triplets. We have 23 lambs and 14 are ewes. This is a much better percentage than 2025.

Come check out this beautiful registered angus heifer I have consigned at the Michigan Beef expo.
Show day is Feb. 20 the sale is Feb. 21. She is full of cow power and would really preform well either bred back registered angus or crossbred for making nice show steers.
