I don’t always understand what calves are thinking. This is Luke who put himself inside a tree cage this morning (must’ve been something yummy in there!)

It seems like every year we see more and more insects in the garden. The green bug with white fringe is actually a tomato hornworm that’s has been attacked by a parasitic wasp (thank goodness - the cutworms can really kill some tomato plants!). We’ve also had lots of bees, butterflies, spiders and American Wheel Bugs.

At dinner eating some sweet corn the question come up: do you eat the corn side to side or around the cob?

The laying hens out in the freshly cut hay field enjoying their new chicken tractor. We have bout 40 adults now and in the chicken coop we have about 45 baby chicks that will start living out in a rotational chicken tractor next spring.

Our summer cover crop with a mix of 13 different plants is doing great! Gonz will re seed this with a fall cover crop later in the year to continue to build the soil before planting strawberries in this patch next spring.

A bit late in making our first cut this year. Now fingers crossed we get 4 days without rain 🤞 you can see in the second picture this grass has fully gone to seed. Ideally we cut it when it is just coming to seed.

This morning our last calf of the year was born to little Ruby. This bull calf is Ruby’s first and she didn’t quite know what to do with it. A calf should be up and nursing within about 2 hours to ensure it gets enough colostrum. Although the little calf was up and thirsty, Ruby wasn’t letting him nurse (sometimes happens with first time moms), so we had to get creative. Good thing Ruby is friendly and loves some pellets. Fingers crossed she keeps letting him nurse now!

After subdividing pastures the girls got to go onto fresh grass today. We now have 10 lots to rotate them through to try to increase forage yield and improve the soul. The girls (and Butch and Bobby) were soooo happy.

First blooms of the season! Fingers crossed we can manage them so they are not hurt by the possible upcoming frosts. 🤞

We were very lucky in receiving a grant from the USDA NRCS high tunnel program this past year. Gonz and Dad put the structure up last fall and even in the snow it has been toasty inside this winter.
