After a little time off to work on various other projects for the upcoming county fair, I thought I would just let everyone know I am still alive and kicking. It's be crazy at the farm right now. It's been raining about every 2-4 days and we are trying to make 4th cutting alfalfa in between showers/storms. Our corn is loving this weather though, as it thrives with heat and moisture. The cows are hanging in there with the heat. Milk production has come down about 2-3 pounds per cow and their feed intake is down. I wouldn't want to eat in this heat either. Thank goodness for sprinklers and fans, those things have paid for themselves 10 times over already! I know that the cows will be fine as long as we have sprinklers on them.
Other than that we have the county fair this week, which means I will be busy with the princesses, the anniversary for the princesses, the dairy show and well....hopefully a demolition derby or two! Stay tuned for pictures and more stories!

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!
