Farm happenings
It's been awhile. Not much going on the past week
Velvet the new baby calf is doing well. She's a little escape artist and manages to get out once a day but she never goes far and is easily coaxed back in with her bottle.
Bethel is eating for two. She's been coming in at night and dining on hay.....a lot..of hay. We're crunching numbers to see how much milk well have available to sell come spring. It seems well only be able to have about 20 customers so if you're interested in getting on the list, message me for details. The Illinois rules governing raw milk sales are limited advertising (I hope this doesn't count), and the customer must pick up the milk from the farm with their own container. If you're good with that, let me know. If the list grows quickly, a deposit may be required by the end of the year to hold your spot, but ill let you know as it gets closer.
Peace and Harmony went back home today. It was so sad to see them go and I'm sure well be making regular visits down there to see them. But it made chore time spool much easier tonight. Well welcome the break until our new admits come down.
