Today I cried more then a few tears over a cow. It won’t be the first time I cried over a cow, nor will it be the last. Every farmer makes a vow, so to speak, to the creatures entrusted into their care. It is our vow, that for the time our Ladies are with […]
#FarmFeatureFriday
Today I was over on The Farmer’s Wifee, taking over her Instagram and Facebook accounts for #FarmFeatureFriday. A fun feature where she highlights a different farm every Friday. I thought it would be helpful to share the days’ posts here with you all! If you aren’t already make sure you are following along on your […]

My friend Krista The Farmer’s Wifee recently complied and shared Instagram posts from fellow dairy farmers to take on 5 common dairy myths. I think it’s safe to say that dairy farmers debunk dairy myths. Myth #1: There are Antibiotics in Milk Myth #2: Only Humans Drink Milk from another Species Myth #3: There is […]

Last week we classified our herd for the American Guernsey Association. It’s an important and long day looking at every cow in our herd. Classification scores are an objective collection of information on the type characteristics that are important to the success of a dairy cow. Type, is the “beauty” side of the cow, what […]
2015 Year End Review: Farm
I started writing this yesterday, and well today we end 2015 on a very low note. We laid to rest our all time favorite cow today; Abiqua Acres Prestige Jesusita. I don’t really have more words than that right now, she definitely deserves a proper tribute. I’m just glad the sun is shining today, as […]
Five Years of Blogging
Five years ago today, I sat down and wrote my first blog post. 140 total blog posts later and a presence on every social media, I can honestly say this whole idea has been an awesome ride. This platform has been so much fun to give a voice to the passion and dedication I truly […]
Choosing Robotics for our Dairy Farm
I’ve mentioned before that our farm is in the process of transitioning to robotics. For the past year we have been taking the time to plan and really dig into all the numerous decisions that go along with making this change. Building a new facility requires a lot of thought and we are glad we […]
