Dairy Farm News

It's really crazy around here this spring.  Soap is going in the mold like crazy! 
Four batches made yesterday.

I am up at 3:30am today making soap, boxing soap.

Our girls are looking good that are due to kid in May and we are looking forward to that.  These are our first time fresheners.  Our other girls kidded in January, milking great and their babies look great!  We did keep one of the bucks and hope he turns out to be a good producer.  He should as he comes from a really nice line - Iron Owl.

We do need a milking machine as my hands are getting the corpul tunnel and this am I woke up with the
bad pains in my hands. That will have to wait until the business gets a little bigger. 

Cheese making is around the corner as our kitchen gets closer to completion.  The floor is getting installed today, sinks on sunday and I am really proud that my business has paid for everything to get this project completed.  We have lots of customers who can not wait for our cheese.  They have tasted samples and are
as excited as we are.

My mother gave me a really neat Welcome sign for the cheese kitchen.  It's sooooo cute!  I will see if I can get a pic posted soon.

Have a wonderful blessed day!

Spring is finally here!

We have babies jumping around today like crazy!  The babies are feeling good and even bouncing off me!
The morning milking was uneventful and all girls behaved really well. It has been a busy day as we get ready for market.

We are packaging Rosemary and Peppermint, Oatmeal and Texas Honey and Lemongrass and Rosemary for todays markets.

See you there!
