Oh hello August! Yet again my posts are missing here! I had big plans and quite a few posts brewing for July, but slow internet has completely SLOWWwwwwed me down! I love sharing my story and pictures with you all, but when it takes 10 minutes just to upload one picture, I simply run out […]
Springing in a Dairy Cow
Every Lady on our farm gets at least 60 days of dry period before calving and starting a new lactation. Dry period means that she is not milked, basically like maternity leave. She gets to relax all day and basically do what she wants, while her body focuses on her baby and preparing for a […]
Factory Farm or Family Farm?
I’m sure by now you have heard the term factory farm thrown around. Quite frankly I’ve heard it more times than I ever care to have ever heard it! I am really curious as to who came up with this term, as it really has no definition, but it seems to have painted quite a […]
