Farm Friday: Long time no see & Big Announcement!

We've missed the last couple Farm Fridays. We've been busy plus I've been working on a project, but first let's catch up.

After a brutal heat wave we are finally getting some relief and we even got a little rain. PTL! The drought has been hard on everyone and for the first time since moving back we started feeding hay in September.

I had a run in with our bull. Jacob's mom had a calf get pneumonia unfortunately didn't make it. While out dealing with the situation our bull came up hitting me from behind. I managed to stay on my feet while Jacob came to the rescue. I wasn't seriously hurt. I don't actually think he was trying to hurt me or he would have. I was sore for a few days.

Speaking of cattle we got our steer back from freezer camp. It is such an incredible feeling to have over a years worth of beef in the freezer! This year I asked to keep the fat and rendered my own tallow for the first time.

To make room for the beef in the freezer I spent a couple days canning up all those tomatoes I threw in the freezer over the hot summer. I made salsa, pizza sauce and about a years worth of pizza sauce.

We've been working on a few house projects. The house always gets put on the back burner with the farm and business, but every fall we start thinking of a few things that might make the winter months a bit more comfortable. So far we have put in new flooring and bookshelves in the living room, a new cabinet in the kitchen and repurposed an old bookshelf in the bedroom.

Last, but not least we have an announcement. During a long drive for our equipment business Jacob and I spoke about what it would take to bring back our YouTube channel. We've never really consistently posted on it as it wasn't a priority. I love taking photos, but my video skills are more limited. It takes much more time and commitment than one might expect so I'll admit I was reluctant, but with some shuffling around of priorities I think we've came up with a plan.

Our goal will be to provide 3-4 videos every week posting on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Shorts will appear randomly.

We invite you to follow along. Subscribe if you can. That really helps our the channel. I Please be kind.. I know we should be better at this than we are! 🤣🤣

We are the 5th generation to farm this Century Old Family Farm and after making our own way in this world we are back to restore the original homestead to its former glory and beyond. Join us as we learn, grow and even stumble our way through this journey.

Farm Friday.

We are finally enjoying a break from the 100°+ days! It has been so hot! This week we got the last round of hay for the season in. We hadn't had a drop of rain in over a month, but as soon as we cut that hay it started raining!

Due to the extreme heat and drought, we had to feed hay for the first time this season. It's way too early to start that, but hopefully this week will bring some rain and we will have animals back on grass for a few more weeks. The cows were happy with the hay, but the sheep judged it.

We are nearing the end of garden season. We have a few more weeks until the official last frost and many years I'm milking it all the way. This year I'm over it. We have one more really large harvest The garden has been good this year. We've enjoyed eating out of it and we have preserved many things. Jacob and I took a walk through the garden this afternoon discussing the end of season plans and already dreaming up projects for next year's garden.

We had a new calf born this week. It's a boy! 💙. The season of life came full circle as we loaded up steers for the butcher to fulfill their intended purpose. It's never easy to take that final journey with an animal you've raised since birth. We are thankful for the sacrifice and we rest assured that animal lived it's very best life up until its final day. It did not spend it's life in a pit of f***l matter like big ag feed lots produce. For those animals processing day isn't a sacrifice, it's an end to the pain. Our cattle spend their days eating grass, chewing their cud under a shade tree, and without fear or stress until the day make the journey to provide for our family. That matters.

We are looking forward to fall. We still have some warm days ahead of us, but the days will become shorter and soon the season will change. Fall is such a reminder that change can be beautiful.

We wish you all a great weekend. Happy Patriots Day as we remember the 25th anniversary of 9/11. May we never forget.

There's a new trend to use AI to see what you would look like in the 80's. Well, we've been around over 100 years so we don't need AI to tell us. We remember.
