family farm

It's safe to say that we are farming together.  This farm with it's 1000 acres and 400 bovine creatures roaming about is a little large to do it without extra help.  The good thing is that we do celebrate and work together.

Yesterday we had a birthday at the farm which means we eat supper together and share cards and gifts. 

After supper we went off to work. 

Dave started to mix the night's feed for the cows with the help of Logan and Ava.

Dayna and Cadence feed the calves. Currently there are 25 calves in individual pens who all get milk, grain and then some water!

Henry gets started cleaning out some calf pens.

Kierra has the privilege of moving that manure to the pile!

Isn't it great that everyone has jobs to do?  We sure aren't bored.  We are also enjoying food from our garden now - beans and zucchini which were part of the birthday supper.  Our youngest two and the oldest three grandkids are all getting good at ending and snapping green beans!  Think of all the things they can write on their resumes!
