Out on the Pastures !!!!

We are excited to get the cows and broiler chicks out on the pasture. They are happy too!!! Milk and cream from lush spring grass is the best milk of the year!

              

 

 

               

 

The bottomless portable pasture pens get moved morning and afternoon to give the chicks a new salad bar twice a day. All that good chlorophyll, vitamins, and minerals from the grass, sunshine, and fresh air make chicken that tastes wonderful and is wonderful for you!

 

Here are 4 of Titus’s 12 ducklings that arrived today. Titus has an keen interest in any bird, but especially ducks!

                      

A group from our church in Chicago toured our farm and enjoyed the animals. We actually were out of town, but a family friends helped us out and showed them around and gave horse rides. It sounds like everyone had fun!

                                  

 

Baby animals and gathering eggs are always a highlight for some of the children.

                                

 

              

LOOK AHEAD: OUR ANNUAL FARM DAY IS SATURDAY MORNING JUNE 21ST    (RAIN/MUD DATE JUNE TUES. EVE JUNE 24TH)

WE SURE HOPE YOU CAN COME!!!!!  DETAILS COMING LATER.

 

Spring Babies!!!

 

It is exciting to have spring in the air! Soon the grass will be growing and we can get all the animals out on pasture!

Snoopy is growing up and becoming mischievous!

              

                    

 

The piglets are doing growing too!

     

Timothy talks to a piggy. We are getting some spring clean up done on the farm.

                         

 

 

Getting ready for the first batch of chicks!

                       

The chicks arrived this week. It’s always exciting to go the post office to pick them up.

                   

 

 

So cute…. We dip each beak in water so that they find it the first time. We like to add a bit of apple cider vinegar to the water for the health benefits.  Close watch is kept for the first week or so. If the chicks huddle, they are too cold. Yet, we don’t want them too hot either. Titus was on duty the first day, checking about every hour or so.

                

 

                    

 

 

                                         

 

The puppies are so much fun and are finding homes. They are a black lab/ blue heeler mix.

 

         

Enjoy the blessing of spring and warmer weather!
