We have been cleaning up around the farm in between times of rain. It has been relatively warm for December here so we are taking advantage of it. We are still working on the water situation and getting the pump ready for the cold snaps that are inevitable.
Soon we will be taking the heifer, that is not marketable, to market. I am looking forward to having beef available that we raised again.
For our future beef needs, we have Jengo, the steer, that was born last April. The kids plan on showing him in the fair and then we will be able to bring him to the processor.
After seeing a For Sale Facebook post from a fellow homeschool Mom Tauna, from Tannachton Farm, we headed her way to pick up the new addition to the farm. The kids are excited about bottle feeding, as they are still young kids. I am excited to see Rose's future babies. Thank you Tauna!
Kids will be showing Rose, the heifer in 4-H at the Linn County Fair. Other animals found on our farm are all very spoiled and a bunch of freeloaders! Ha! On a serious side, we love and gain much enjoyment of daily chores and they give the kids lessons, only animals can teach them. Humane treatment of animals, the hard work of farm chores, and after showing and working with the animals, the life lessons of letting them go.

Gracie loves to meet us at the gate!
Max taking a relaxing nap!
At the end of a long day this beautiful sunset is a peaceful way to end it!
