After just two weeks the chicks were ready to be moved out of the brooder and into their pasture shelter. It is enjoyable every time to see them immediately begin eating grass and chasing bugs; even though they have never seen either until today. The cows were also moved this morning into a new paddock that was nearby. Pearl wandered our way while munching her breakfast.

Chick day! It comes twice a year and is always fun to see these fluffy yellow balls run around and stretch their legs. They will be in this brooder for 2-3 weeks then out onto the pasture

Gratitude. It has been a hot and dry summer. We started feeding hay a month ago to the cows and the pastures have been struggling. But today we were blessed with a nice rain that felt like the grip of this drought was loosening.
We are thankful for the rain these clouds brought and the color they added to the sunset.

Each day we supplement the chickens feed and forage with a mix of grains as a treat. To maximize the nutrition, we add water and let them soak in the sun for twenty-four hours. The heat and sugars in the grains cause them to ferment and soften a great deal. The wet, soft grains are easier for the chickens to digest and sneaks in a little more water with their diet in this heat.
Our one-legged hen, Judy Hopps, gets her daily allowance fed by hand before the others move in to get some.

These three pictures show one of our steers, Harold. He came to the farm in November of 2024 and will go to the butcher this week. As a spring of 2024 calf, this means he took just over two years to achieve the proper weight; eating only the grass we grew on our farm and hay from just down the road.
