Looking out the lane and up a couple ravines and such trying to get accountability on all calves, some Cardinals that are glad I spilled some grain, and checking a stream to make sure it is still running. Also, I am of the firm opinion that jd 40gen tractors are the best looking. They're not my favorite, they just look the best. Have a great...

It's just a way for the fairytale world to be "masked" like a modern one for hiding from the uninvited guests ;)

It's about to get cold here.

I have several comments that need answered, and I hope to soon.

It will have to wait until after this cold snap passes.

In the mean time, a friend texted and asked me what we do to keep the cows warm.

I'll post my answers as a comment, as it is quite lengthy and involved.

Have a great day.

I know that doesn't make sense to most, so here : we use a total ration mixer called a reel auggie. There's videos and stuff online that might help understanding. The big reel in the inside of it is driven by a huge chain on a sprocket, and that drives the augers that discharge the feed.

Time to get back to it. Take care.

It's cold here. Here are some pictures from the weekend, mostly of warming up calves. I got one of the sun this morning, and then my phone said it was too cold for the battery. Stay warm or there, unless where you're at is hot, and then stay cool. Feel free to ask any questions, I'll answer them as I can.

Hi!

If you've followed my life to any extent, on here or otherwise, you know that I have three main external identities and all to some level of average success :

Family man

Serial entrepreneur

Farmer

You probably also know that I am a coffee fiend and due to dietary concerns am gluten free.

I've been trying to figure out how to bring all this...

A nice bit of land with a creek.
fullfeeling:
I love the idea of having a bit of water to take care of.  Old family story is that during the depression my great uncles dynamited a lovely bend in the creek because they really needed to till every bit of acreage they could.  their youngest sister was heartbroken because she loved that shady spot, so they made her a wardrobe out of the trees from the site.  That wardrobe is my linen closet now.
