Baby Animals 2020 edition



Baby Animals Spring 2020
Have you been waiting for my annual baby animal picture post?  
The wait is over! Enjoy the cuteness!

May 5th:  Laura went and picked up our 200 chicks! They loose their baby fluff so fast- and by the time they are a few days old, they start to feather out.


May 6th: First of Nate's beef calves was born, with assistance. She was coming backwards, so Nate and Grace had to pull her. Thankfully, she's was fine and is doing well now. (Note the cow in the background is not her mama...) 

May 12th: First dairy calf of the year was born. She was a pint-sized mostly Jersey heifer- but she's growing. :)

May 15th: 3 kids and 2 lambs arrived.



And then there were more!







 Matt's twin calves:





Current baby animal count: (And we still have a ways to go...)
Dairy Calves: 27
Beef Calves: Not sure, around 30  [That's what I was told when I asked. 😉 ]
Kids:10
Lambs:7

      I agree, animals can be hard to photograph- but most of them cooperated quite well this year...

A Spring Get-Away

We had a great trip this past weekend. Our family was able to get away for a few days before everything gets really busy on the farm. We headed south to the state of Missouri, and it was really fun to see tall green grass and trees fully leafed out, but then hard to come home to cooler weather, bare trees and brown. But spring is on it's way here too, right? (As I write this, it's cold outside and it's snowing- Can I go back to MO?) Enjoy some snapshots of the trip. The Laura Ingalls Wilder cabin near Pepin WI. I've always enjoyed her books and it was interesting to see just how small the "little house in the big woods" was. Only now it's surrounded by fields and cleared land. Not very big is it?! We made a stop at Bass Pro Shop near Des Moines (a city that was incorrectly pronounced for fun the entire trip). This was probably Silas' favorite part of the trip. He loved it and could have spent hours there.... however some of us were ready to ...

Montana 2024

   For our family trip this year we went to Montana! We took lots of pictures and I am finally getting some shared with you. Enjoy! On the way out, we stopped to see the North Dakota badlands in Teddy Roosevelt National Park.     The first night we camped at a campground on the East edge of Glacier National Park. The next day, we made our way through the park. Then we crossed the 560' Hungry Horse Dam and camped on the reservoir. The next day we went for a hike. Huckleberries!! The mountainside was covered in huckleberries and we had a lot of fun picking some to bring home. We went back to the East side of the mountains to camp that night, then hiked part way up the mountain the next morning before heading for home.
