England’s Chance Farm

Is it really spring? We have some new additions to the farm with our 4H pigs. This weather and the fluctuating temperatures can be tricky for livestock. Our cows have been enjoying the nice weather, but today they are requesting the fans on in our barn!
Remember Jack Frost? That’s him in the 4th picture taking a rest in his freshly bedded calf pen nursery.

Our cows are nice and warm in the barn on this windy day. Their feelings on Snowstorm Fern seem to be not favorable…Thankful for a big tractor to help us scoop out a long driveway!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas from our family to yours!!
Thank you for all of the amazing name suggestions for our big beautiful guy! We absolutely loved all of them, but after careful consideration….we are going to name him Jack Frost! He’s still a big bruiser!
Also pictured are Josh and Libby’s show heifers making their first lap around the farm for Christmas! 🎄

This sweet little guy needed some very late night help getting into this world, but Dr. Robbie made a healthy delivery and his Momma is doing fine! He’s a BIG boy, but we need a Christmassy name…any ideas?

It’s our girls favorite time of year! Pumpkin time! Our pumpkins were starting to get a little mushy from the rain and changing temperatures! So Josh loaded them up and hauled them out to the meadow for our girls to enjoy!

It’s a beautiful day to make hay!! Today we’ve got 3 generations in the field! Pappy’s baling, Josh is raking, Robbie’s picking up bales and Libby and I are hauling bales to the farm!

Did you know farmers use hay as a food source for livestock, especially during winter months when pastures are unavailable for grazing?

Fair Week was a success! The kids had fun , the animals behaved, and the parents survived (barely)! It’s always such a great time to see our friends and family, but it’s so busy and stressful, too!
On Saturday we entered our Ag Commodities and Libby and Josh hit a deer 🦌 🫣👎🏻 (they are fine and the car can be fixed). On Monday we showed our beef heifers and they were on their best behavior. Tuesday we brought 2/4 of our beef market steers (long story-but safety is the most important thing) & showed our pigs (what a crazy morning)! Wednesday we brought our cakes and cookies, Josh walked his cake and Mr. Jacob Puckett bought it at the cake auction. The swine market show was that night so we are not sure who bought Libby’s cake. Thursday we showed our steers and they were also well behaved. And finally…Friday night was the Livestock Auction and that is always exciting, sad, and stressful because it’s the end…
A special thanks to all of our family and friends who came out to visit and watch us show either on the internet or in person (we didn’t get to grab a picture of everyone) & the amazing volunteers at the fair (especially Mr. Ryan)!

A very special thank you to our community who bought Libby & Josh’s animals at the Livestock auction: Mr. Aaron Puckett, Westminster Nappa Auto Parts, O’Meara Contracting, & Mr. Tony Stapleton. We also have to thank Heather and Matt Cole from Mollis Cafe who are our emotional support friends on auction night & all year long!!

What a week!!
