I am officially having a Scotch. I still have no power from Helene and property devastated. Now my brother, sister, best friend, nieces and nephews are in the path of another damned hurricane. This is ridiculous. But the hot Gulf waters are the cause and global warming is upon us.

Hello everyone, just letting you know that we all made it through the hurricane alive. There is so much devastation and I really can’t describe it. The fact that there was not more loss of life is amazing. I am currently trapped and have not been able to get out since early Friday morning. I am hoping the road department gets here to cut the trees down at least to where I can get out with the truck. We are watering the cows by using a submersible pump and barrels  getting the water from the pond. We have powerlines down all over the place. A big pecan tree missed the house by 10 feet in the front and about the same in the back. Some outbuildings have been destroyed. All the food in two freezers and refrigerator are totally gone, so I am hoping fema will reimburse me for that. There was a lot of beef in there. I don’t know how everybody else is doing because we just now got cell service. My prayers are with everyone that went through this awful event. And I am hoping that it will not occur again and that the rain holds off because I need a new roof now because the shingles peeled off. I am just betting that we won’t get power up for another two weeks. I will be very surprised if we do because the powerlines are down everywhere  and telephone poles are snapped off. They are just now getting the hospitals up and running, and some of the major roadways cleared. I think this is much worse than the ice storm was in February a few years ago.

I know it has been awhile, but I was busy with an extended illness (husband). He is no longer with us, and I can continue with some farm projects. As some of you know, I dispersed two small herds of Lowlines. I kept a few. There were two bull calves that showed promise as calves and they are now two and ready for their own herds. Both are well bred, keep on fat on grass, gentle and correct in conformation. I have info on Mist below. Simmering info will follow. He is a full blood that is a full brother to the show cow in the picture below Mist. Message me if you want more info on them.

Wildhaven Farm

Twelve years ago, I retired from teaching science at Jupiter High School in Florida. My husband, Jim, inherited part of the family farm in Georgia. We bought out some of the family and hence our story begins at Wildhaven Farm, Midville, GA.

The Farm has been in the Netherland/Hammond family for several hundred years, but was overgrown with woods and so we have been slowly reclaiming it. We built a small log cabin and two barns as well as about 30 acres in fencing. Most of the pasture area was in planted pines, so we had to cut those, and then we put in a herd of sheep to clear it. The sheep did a great job and provided some income as well. Some of them helped to train my Australian Shepherds in the meanwhile. I have owned Aussies for so long I can’t remember lol. My first Aussie was a son of Hartnagle’s Hud. The dogs I own now were specifically intended to get back to those old foundation lines. Las Rocosa I’m A Jake Too and Tucker Creek’s Getting Golden (Guiness) were entrusted to me from Jimmy Hartnagle and Tanya Wheeler. The farm needs them for sure because I am now 74 years old and don’t run fast anymore. I wish I could trial more, but maybe by Nationals in Georgia in 2020?

The USDA had a program to help beginning farmers with Polytunnel construction. It was a cost share and we thought this might be a good add on to the farm. So about 5 years ago, Daphne (daughter in love) and I built two of them. She couldn’t carry on with them, but my daughter, Christi, joined the Wildhaven team and has been raising and selling Certified Naturally Grown vegetables from them. She goes to the local Farmer’s Markets.

My pastures have developed nicely and so about 3 years ago, I began researching cattle breeds. My friend, Carolyn, told me about Lowline cattle. She had bought several. I went to see them and was impressed by their characteristics: grass finishing, heavy muscling, easy calving, docility, and more stocking per acre. So, I bought my 1st lowline, then a bull and some more cows. I am up to 8 now (2019). I am concentrating on full blood American Aberdeen (Lowlines). My market will be small family farms and commercial herds wanting to improve their herd quality. I have concentrated on the best blood lines and conformation in my herd. While small, I intend to have the best possible animals.
