🎉🎉🎉🎉 The results are in! This sweet little baby is A2A2, just like her momma, Maisy! Now we just need to come up with a name for this cutie pie. Bobby was thinking "Minnie" for "Minnie Maisy" and "Minnie Mouse". What do you think?

Cross your fingers and toes for us! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Maisy's baby turned 11 weeks old yesterday, and we just collected a blood sample to test whether she's A2/A2 or A1/A2. We're really hoping for an A2/A2 result because that would mean she could stay here as one of our future milk cows and carry on Maisy's legacy. ❤️

She was an absolute rockstar during her blood draw! It was honestly the easiest blood draw I've ever done. She didn't even flinch at the poke!

Now comes the hard part... waiting! We'll be sure to update everyone as soon as we get the results. Send all the A2/A2 vibes our way!

Throwback to a couple weeks ago. Maggie was hoarding the first grader chicks, except, I think she may have realized she was a bit over her head. 🤣 Maggie is by far our best mama hen. She's always running around the yard with a whole flock of her own.

Huge shout out and thank you to MIgardener for being a sponsor of the 2026 Mitten Homesteaders - Michigan Conference! It was a great event, and I was so psyched to be handed a mystery packet from my favorite seed company upon checking in Friday morning. I just opened it today, and let out a squeal of excitement when I realized I got some Trifecta+ in my packet!! I have been wanting to try some of their fertilizer for the last couple of years, and its either been out of stock or I've forgotten to add it to my order anytime I'm looking to place one. This is just a tiny packet, but I will most definitely be testing it out in my garden this year. I am headed outside right now to start planting the rest of my garden beds, and I'll probably put together a pot for the salad bowl mix seeds that came in my packet from the conference! 😋

I had an excellent time meeting everyone at the Mitten Homesteaders Conference this year! Lots of new faces, lots of familiar faces, and an overall great time was had! I loved learning more about trapping and goat hoof trimming.

My favorite part, was when Jami (one of the organizers) told me that a 12 year old girl had attended my artificial insemination talk, and thought I was so cool and she wanted to be just like me one day! Its so fulfilling to get that kind of feedback - I love inspiring people to be more self-sufficient, build their confidence to try something new, and teach the next generation invaluable skills like those needed on the homestead. I hope that young lady is able to pursue her dreams and have a homestead of her own one day, because 20 years ago, I was that little girl, and I know 12 year old me would be so psyched to know that one day she'd have a homestead with as many cows, goats, and chickens as her heart desired. 12 year old me probably would have fainted at the idea of being a beekeeper one day, though. 🤣

This year's conference also brought about some unexpected last minute schedule changes due to another speaker having a family emergency, but I was able to step up and give a talk on beekeeping! There were a lot of people that were just getting their feet wet with information about beekeeping, and I hope many of them will choose to learn more throughout the year and get bees next spring!

See you all next year!!

😍 This girl. Part of me wants her to stay little forever because she's so dang adorable, but part of me can't wait to watch her grow up.

Saturday I had just gotten inside from checking on our bees, when I heard the chickens going nuts. I rushed to check the cameras to see what had happened, and I found the second most surprising thing I've ever seen on our cameras. A poor turkey had made the mistake of walking in our yard. This offended one of our hens. Our little ISA Brown hen took it upon herself to attack the turkey until it quite literally ran for its life out and away from our property! Enjoy the circus that is our life!

Ignore the funny sounds of the video - chickens sound like cows in slo-mo when they're alerting to something. 🤣
