Sometimes when the days are long, you receive a note that reminds you why it’s all worth it! Thank you for your kind words.

“Thank you very much for your high quality beef. I appreciate knowing what I’m getting and who I’m getting it from.”

Signs of fall on the farm; corn silage harvest day and the beans are changing. Shorter daylight hours already making it difficult to get everything done in a day.

Weaning time; it’s that noisy time of the year when spring calves are separated from their moms to allow the moms to recover and grow the new calf inside of them. Calves will be transitioned to high quality hay and a small amount of grain as they are weaned off mom‘s milk. The bawling and bellowing over the next 5 to 7 days is normal as the cows and calves are adjusting to this transition. You may not want to sleep with your windows open for the next several nights.😉
