FML…Really?

November 4, 2011

4 Nov

I am not a very new technology savy person. In fact even getting this blog up and running was a feat in it’s self. (Bear with me if you notice some things are kind of a muck!) With that being said I don’t really dial into much text lingo, the shortening of words. I mean […]

{Wordless Wednesday}

November 3, 2011

3 Nov

I saw an awesome idea on another blog a while ago and thought I would give it a try. Wordless Wednesday, an easy post to do that captures a moment in a picture. Because every one is busy it’s nice to just take a minute and savor a moment of life. Since we just celebrated Halloween I thought this would […]

Adventures in Cloth Diapering……

November 2, 2011

2 Nov

……Making the Switch “Wait a minute, you CLOTH diaper?” “Yes, I DO and I Love it!” “Wow, you are really brave!” I think the most important thing about parenting is that you find what works for you and your family. That’s part of becoming a family, making your own decisions based on what’s best for your […]

New Focus

October 26, 2011

26 Oct

I will keep this short and sweet. Mostly because today has been one of those long days. I feel that every Mom needs an outlet. Something to do that is only for her, for me I hope this blog can be that! Originally I had planned to focus mostly on dairy farming, but now that […]

Ahh Perfect!

October 19, 2011

19 Oct

Ok in all reality no day, especially in a mother’s life, is perfect. But today for me was pretty darn close. My little man is almost 6 months old and I am at that stage of parenthood in enjoying all the firsts with my firstborn. Today was the pumkin patch! While he’s not big enough […]

The First One…Why?

December 9, 2010

9 Dec

I live what some people consider a controversial lifestyle. Am I a drug or arms dealer? Smuggling people across borders? Engaging in other illegal activites? No, none of the above, I am a dairy farmer. Just doing what my family has been doing for three generations now. But due to the “wealth” of information available to […]

Dairy Farmer, Wife, Mama; I am passionate about my lifestyle and Guernsey Ladies.

Classification day for the Guernseys. Looking at e Classification day for the Guernseys. Looking at each cow individually her type (body) is evaluated. There are functional assets to how a cow is put together leading to a more productive animal. It also gives us important genetic information on how daughters of each bull are turning out. It’s an important day for registered herds. And just fun to have another set of eyes on the Ladies pointing out flaws and strengths.
…..We let the cows out to pasture! …..We let the cows out to pasture!
It looks and feel like Spring here. So guess what It looks and feel like Spring here. So guess what that means we did……?
Being at the mercy of Mother Nature is one of the Being at the mercy of Mother Nature is one of the hardest parts of farming. I’ve watched with almost envy as other parts of the nation flood with more rain than they can handle. While drought strikes and the west burns and we wish for any amount of rainfall. If only there was a way to balance it all get and give each region exactly what they need. But that is certainly not how Mother Nature, or life for that matter works. So we rejoice with our first recordable rainfall in months. With hope for what it can do for our parched pastures.
Bedtime rumble in the pasture. There is a definite Bedtime rumble in the pasture. There is a definite herd hierarchy with the Ladies. It’s fun to watch their personalities come out in different situations. The pasture is usually just for fun, but don’t put it past one of the older ladies like Farrah here to put anyone in their place.
Seriously can’t get over the incredible views we Seriously can’t get over the incredible views we had of the Northern Lights last night. We never see them in Oregon so this was a special treat! Even turned off the barn lights after this and headed out into the pasture to get an amazing view.

We’ve got another group of calves it’s time to register and give them their official names. Reminder of how this works. The first letter must match from the Mothers name below. For example Myrtle hails from our floral M family with Magnolia, Marigold, Mistletoe and Mallow currently in the herd (so break out your botanical knowledge!)

I know I’ve been pretty quiet in this space lately. But my favorite consequence of being in this social media space is the amazing people it’s connected me to like Cody from Foggy Bottoms Boys. A whirlwind spring break combo work trip landed us at their farm and then to @Jerseyscoops for some seriously delicious ice cream. These guys are doing amazing things and it’s so exciting to see their success. ... See MoreSee Less
