I'm playing some serious catch-up on my blog because of all the testing I've had to do with students over the past month. I decided to just go back and start from the beginning with everything so you can catch up and be up to date, too! About three weeks ago Ted decided to move … Continue reading Wild Bindi

A catch up post
We've been busy, busy, busy the past five days here! Saturday was our oldest daughter's birthday, but she's currently living in Brazil, so we didn't get to celebrate with her. She's having a blast though and will be home in April, so we're looking forward to celebrating her 25th birthday once she's back. She spent … Continue reading A catch up post

Moving Bindi
We learned last spring that 1) Beef jumps the fence to get to greener pastures, and 2) Bessie and Beef don't get out when we move them often so their green grass looks as good as the grass on the other side of the fence. Sunday afternoon, we decided to fence a temporary section of … Continue reading Moving Bindi

Hay helper
Getting hay to the cattle since Ted had surgery has been an adventure. Normally, he just put a round bale of hay into the pasture, and it lasted about eight days. All I had to do was give them a little treat every day, check on their health (eyes, coat, tongue, hooves, and plops), and … Continue reading Hay helper

Well, around here, I put on my big girl boots and deal with it myself. First up was refilling the pig feeder. It took two trips with … Continue reading What do you do?

Busy, busy, busy!
This month has been full of work. It should have been full of Christmas prep as well, but for the first time in fifteen years, the holidays took a backseat to everything going on in our lives. Between work and college and the farm, I didn't have the gumption to tackle decorating, baking, etc. ahead … Continue reading Busy, busy, busy!

I MILKED MY COW!!!
Bindi is three weeks old on Thursday. Every evening it would get dark, and I would think, "There's another day I didn't milk Bessie." Then I'd feel sorry for myself for working so much at teaching and studying so much for those two college classes, and I'd have a pity party in my head. Then … Continue reading I MILKED MY COW!!!

I’m so in love!
This is the sweetest pair EVER!!! I am very hopeful that milking will go well once I start doing it this weekend. I gave Bessie super good scratches and ran my hand over her udder. She started spraying milk from her back teats within three seconds. It was a LOT OF milk, too! She is … Continue reading I’m so in love!
