Surviving Minnesota!

Good morning! Busy day here again. I'll be cleaning up garden beds of all the storm debris this morning. We have 4H this afternoon and I have a church to clean for an upcoming funeral. No lazy Sunday for me.

I am just so busy now so I have bad to put my Jersey heifer up for sale. I may have found a family that is willing to milk her for the summer until I can find someone in the fall. If I had more time I would definitely keep her and show her. And her calf is getting big and cuter by the day, I can't wait to see the horns

Ugh, we are wanting to get a milk/nurse cow. But we aren't realistically set up to milk one right now and really won't for another year or so. Need a summer to switch everything over to "large animal" fencing etc. Just seems this year everyone is selling their milk cow, and we are missing out on so many good girls!

We might just get a couple feeder steers to keep the grass down for now. We sold off our herd of 40+ boer goats and our pasture is now a jungle. Our two horses and llama cant even make a dent in it.

In other news, Good Morning!

We finally...FINALLY got our garden in last night. I know we are really pushing it but it's just kind of how it worked out. We had to get a flight net over our chicken run, which turned into just remaking the whole thing. Our turkeys are huge babies and want to be with us if we are outside, including "helping" in the garden.

I have part of a garden in finally..

I put in tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage 3 days ago.

I got beans and cukes in last night. More today with luck.

I planted my garden last week, not as many tomatoes as I usually plant and then the cutworms took a couple down and a couple peppers too.

She is a great milker, you just need somewhere to tie her up and she stands the whole time! If you are still interested later this year like in August let me know! Right now I have only found the family willing to just milk her for the summer

Heading to Becker today. DS is chasing the little white ball at the state meet. Looking forward to that. Looks like rain at 11 down there. He should be wrapping up his round by then. Great experience for this little up north school.
