Adventures in Haymarsh

4th Drive, moving the Heifers

We combined the heifers with the herd last evening.  Then Andrew and the two oldest boys dug some potatoes, while we hauled the remaining bales out of the Marsh.  It was well past dark when we all finished, but success is a great feeling! Now we can say …”let it rain, let it pour”… 🌧️ please fill up the Stock dams!

We had a very, very kind neighbor cut the Marsh for us, we’ve been working non-stop for the last 3 days on baling it, raking some of it, and hauling all of the bales out of there before the rain came this morning.
My weekday job! Wouldn’t trade it for the world. These three bring me so much joy, just hope I don’t spoil them too much.
I love how Andrew can think how to incorporate vegetables into breakfast. He used a bell pepper, fried up an egg and put one of our Golden Boy tomatoes on top. So tasty!😋

3rd Move

The pasture we were in, we were hauling water three times a day. Each trip took approximately 1 hour and a half.  Last night, Don, Denyka, and Jason helped us move them across the road.

Thirsty cattle.
Moving them across to a pasture with water.
Simon got a whole gallon of potatoes out of one plant! They are perfectly clean it is so dry. Hopefully we can get them harvested before they get muddy or frozen. I just need to learn how to bilocate.

Garden Harvester

Thank God this fellow was born in to this family, if he wasn’t, the produce would just sit in the garden.  We’re meeting ourselves coming and going these days.

Those Golden Boy tomatoes are so delicious!
Pumpkins were the theme at Storytime!🎃
My third graders are so sweet in religious education. They are so fun to teach! Even with two additional “helpers” today, they did so well.
My little water hauling buddy💜

Bulls 🐂

We had two bulls get injured likely from fighting other bulls in the herd.  Tonight we loaded them up.  Andrew has really gotten to know the herd this year, he knows their dispositions.

First one is loaded, now for the next.
The second bull took quite a bit more coaxing.
& he’s on! We have some really kind and gentle bulls.
