Farm update

Spring is finally here and the snow is starting to melt. The list of things to do to get ready for the summer is a mile long. We’ve had a few births in recent months but only one heifer (See Daphne) who is a cutie. Winter was long as usual and the cows are anxious to get out again. Before we do that, we have to make sure that the fences are all secure and the path to the pasture is firm enough for them to walk on. Unfortunately we also lost Gidget. She had banged up her leg and the infection spread into her muscles. We did our best to help her heal but in the end, we didn’t want her to suffer so it was best to have her put down. Molly is still a piggy and growing more every day.
