Born in a Barn
Before it gets too far behind me… I have to share my trip over to Born In A Barn. Born in a Barn is a craft fair/antique fair/re-purpose fair held in a field south of Sheridan, Wyoming. Coincidently, also just a few miles from the people that drove to South Dakota to pick up our…
Honey Harvest from My Top Bar Hives
Before we get to the honey… We vaccinated our just weaned calves today… I took the easy job of running them up the alleyway, and let the boys give the shots! I only took one photo today, and that was of our pinkeye calf. Cattle get pinkeye just like humans… usually starting with some irritation…

Vernon drove up there to check on the cows. On the other side of the mountain, though, it was a different story. Anywhere…
Questions and Answers: September 2014 Edition
Let’s go! Susan: Do you grow oats too??? Yes. But only to supplement our calves’ feed in the wintertime. We usually plant a field or two to oats and perhaps barley. This year was so wet, one field was turned into oat hay, and this one we did manage to harvest oats. Marilyn: How are…
