🚨 I dare you to charge into this week with the same enthusiasm as cows and calves headed for fresh grass! 🌱🐄

There’s just something about opening a new paddock that never gets old. The calves kick up their heels, the cows put their heads down, and for a few moments the whole herd acts like they’ve never seen grass before.

Rotational grazing keeps our pastures healthy, builds soil, and gives our cattle access to fresh forage throughout the grazing season. Plus, it’s pretty entertaining to watch!

Who’s ready to tackle the week with this kind of energy? 💪

Whew!! What a weekend around the farm!

Joe spent most of the weekend raking and baling first-cut hay, making the most of some beautiful weather.

I spent the weekend helping Moose get settled into farm life and adapt to our crazy routine. Judging by this picture, I think he’s decided he needs a nap to recover!

We also managed to check a few more important items off the never-ending farm to-do list:

✅ Deck stained
✅ Pasture fence checked
✅ Herd groups moved
✅ Horses’ hooves trimmed
✅ Pregnancy checked a cow (still a couple left on the list)

Busy, productive, and blessed. We’re grateful for the opportunity to care for this land, our animals, and this life we’ve built together.

How was your weekend?

This is a great image to visualize how orations grazing works.

Pasture on the right was grazed about 2 weeks ago, the middle pasture I just moved them out of, and the left pasture they went into today. We try not to graze a pasture more than 5-6 days before moving them.

Ideally we may move every 2-4 days but some of our pastures are limited by good access lanes and water access.

After each sunset, the next day the sun rises. 🌅

Life on the farm feels a lot like that too. While our hearts are still hurting after saying goodbye to our sweet Hudson, we know there is still love, purpose, and companionship to share with another dog.

Today we welcomed Moose into our home and onto the farm. 🐾

There will never be another Hudson, and he’ll always hold a special place here. But we’re looking forward to this new chapter — teaching Moose the ropes, introducing him to farm life, and watching him grow into his own personality and place on the farm.

Here’s to muddy paws, chore time sidekicks, and new memories ahead. ❤️

We take a moment to remember the tremendous sacrifice made by many service men and women to protect and defend our country. We are free by their sacrifice. Happy Memorial Day!

Today the farm is quieter.

This morning we said goodbye to Hudson at 19 years old — our constant companion, self-appointed ruler of the farm, and a dog who truly believed the world revolved around him. Honestly, he was probably right.

Hudson never quite understood that cows were supposed to move in a certain direction, but that never stopped him from proudly “helping” with chores. Whether we were checking animals, building fence, or just walking the pasture, he was always there beside us, convinced he was running the entire operation.

At home, his favorite place was tucked into blankets or perched on the couch cushions, carefully surveying his kingdom and keeping watch over everyone he loved.

The last couple years brought a hard decline, and while we knew this day was coming, it still leaves a space that feels impossible to fill. There’s an emptiness in the yard tonight, in the house, and in the routines he spent nearly two decades being part of.

Hudson was stubborn, loyal, funny, and deeply loved. We’ll miss the sound of his paws following behind us and his quiet presence woven into everyday farm life.

Rest easy, old man. The farm won’t be the same without you.

People say they want cheap food.
•Cheap burgers
•Cheap steak
•Cheap milk
•Cheap eggs

Cheap always comes with a cost, and that cost has been the drastic loss of the American farmer.

For decades, farmers have been squeezed from every direction.
•Fuel costs rise.
•Feed costs rise.
•Fertilizer costs rise.
•Equipment costs rise.
•Land prices rise.
•Insurance rises.
•Taxes rise.

Meanwhile, in most cases, the farmer is expected to sell everything at wholesale while buying almost everything at retail.

Think about that last sentence for a second. Don’t skip over it, let that sink in.

A new cattle farmer may spend years building infrastructure:
•Building fences
•Buying feed
•Building handling facilities
• Improving pasture
• And countless other improvements

…….all before even seeing a paycheck for all the work put in. This here is why the farms we have lost will not be replaced. It’s simply too expensive to start for young farmers.

Meanwhile a large part of other farmers are aging out.

I personally don’t see how the cattle industry can improve itself. We are at the smallest herd size since the 50’s in the US. We have extremely high beef demand but not the cattle to meet that demand.

People see the final beef price and think the farmer is getting rich. Most small farms are simply trying to survive and try to grow a little in the process. Surviving and growth both take extremely high input costs. As well as countless man hours.

Industrial food systems trained Americans to expect food to be cheap at any price. Right now we are paying that price for undervaluing the American farmer.

Each year, more small farms disappear because
the math no longer works.

You cannot demand:
•Local food
•American-raised beef
•Higher animal welfare
• Healthier food
•Sustainable farming

…….while also demanding the absolute cheapest price possible.

Cheap food has never really been cheap. The true costs was just pushed onto the people producing it.

I will end with this. I was watching an interview a couple days ago. The person being interviewed was predicting $10 pound ground beef by the 3rd quarter of 2026. He believed this price would not level out till sometime in 2027.

This is a problem that has been decades in the making. It’s not going to fix itself quickly….if a fix is even possible.

Peeking into the weekend on the farm. It is shaping up to be a busy one with some needed rain in the forecast.

Tractor is rolling prepping fields
Cows are grazing
Chickens are out exploring
Garden is getting planted
Fence checking

Just enjoying and cherishing the time in God’s creation.

Little calf is getting a nice clean up from mom.

In my mind I hear a little toddler voice, oh mom stop it!
