Frosty Pics from the Farm

Purple cone flowers that made it through the winter.

Pretty vines on the trees in the grove.

Frosted round bales of grass hay.


Winter view of the heifer lot.


Dry cows, relaxing in the dry cow lot on this frosty winter day.


Meet AC/DC, our heifer who is 16 months old and expecting her first calf this fall.



Yevette!!! (our preemie calf from this summer) She's doing so well! She loves it outside, even if it's frosty. She's almost as tall as the other calves her age, but has so much more attitude.


Kittens like to snuggle up with the bulls calves in the calf barn.


Frosty trees in the yard.


Silver Bells, checking out the frost covered shrubs in front of her calf hut.


Our Dairy Barn, almost 5 years old already. View from the road.


Komanche, our heifer, checking out the birds in the tree out in the yard.


It's so cold, but we have such a pretty view outside!

Which one of these doesn't belong? Yep, it's Glencoe, she was our "day care" calf this summer, who visited area day cares. She thinks she needs to be spoiled and is completely immune to electric fences-she goes where she wants to and we just let her.

What a great view from the dairy barn!

Cows eating in a very foggy barn. Yummy! TMR! (total mixed ration-containing alfalfa, corn silage and so many other great feeds!)

I write this blog to share my passion for my cows and farming, please be respectful of that. I reserve the right to delete those comments which portray hate, call names, and are out right disrespectful. If you have an honest question, I will respond, to explain what we do on our farm, why we do it and how we do it. Please read with an open mind. My time to blog is short, as most of our days are spent caring for our beloved cows. Thank you!
