I know, it doesn’t quite feel like it yet, but Spring is just around the corner.  We are already seeing lots of mud in the winter paddocks!  We have lots of plans this year. Number one is to put in an automatic watering fountain for next winter.  It will be piped underground with a winterized pump house.  But, first thing this Spring is to get some shale and gravel on the driveway and around the shed.  That will be so nice- not to be sliding around on the greasy clay soil!  And, we hope to fence the back field into rotational paddocks.  We also have to seed the hay fields we leased from my brother.  So, there’s lots of work to be done.  And, Dusty moved to LA so we don’t have his help any more.  But, we are glad he’s following his dreams!  We’ll have to get Cody to help us when he can.

We have to separate our Wagyu Mom’s soon.  We are putting them in the pole shed with lots of dry bedding for calving.  They are due May 6th!  We are excited!  The other cows are due about a month later.  At last count, we are thinking we may have 11 calves this Spring.  Crossing our fingers….
