We picked up a group of calves just south of Gibson City this morning! After breakfast and a quick stop at the farm store, we loaded the heifers and brought them home. At both our Gilman and Danforth farms, we’re continually investing in and improving our herd genetics. We believe quality beef starts with quality cattle!

The sirloin steak, bell peppers, and onions paired nicely with a light cucumber salad! I’ve included the steak recipe below—it’s quickly become my favorite marinade for steak kabobs:

Marinade

* 1½–2 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1½-inch cubes
* ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
* ¼ cup soy sauce
* 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
* 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
* 1 teaspoon black pepper
* 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
* 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Directions

* Whisk together all marinade ingredients.
* Add the steak cubes and toss to coat evenly.
* Refrigerate for 2–4 hours.

The sirloin steak turned out incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I paired it with one of our family’s favorite cucumber salad recipes, which comes from my great-grandma Madeleine, whom I was named after. It made for the perfect Friday night dinner!

We cleaned the lots, fed hay, added fresh bedding to the pens, and took Paisley for a walk last night. It was a busy evening, but we were thankful to spend it outside enjoying the beautiful weather!

Rainy spring days call for a warm bowl of soup. This soup was really flavorful and turned out great, but I’m planning to adjust the recipe a bit next time. I’ll share it once I’ve got it finalized!

Such a nice surprise this morning to see twin heifer calves! 🩷

It’s been a long time since we’ve had twins! The heifer calves were born this morning and they are doing great! 🩷

Last month, we decided to add chuck eye steaks to our beef cut sheet for the store! This helps balance out the amount of chuck roasts we get in spring/summer.

Chuck roasts always sell great, but it’s nice to offer another steak option — especially one that’s very similar to a ribeye, but with a lower price per pound!
