I'm Back!

I have returned from Nebraska! While I was away, the farm work never stopped. I started barn chores like normal and the calves happily welcomed me back. To keep things simple we did a lot of cleaning with the tractor, removing dirty bedding and set up clean pens. Later in the afternoon our veterinarian came in to help breed some of our cows. Just an ordinary day to get back in the swing of things. 

Today we shipped 5,778 gallons of milk and had two new baby calves.
