All of this warm weather had us outside itching with anticipation for the upcoming season. We have purchased some of our seed and the green house is getting an early spring cleaning. The cows and pigs were also enjoying the mild weather and kicking up their heels a lot today.
Will is going to start milking Petula this week, he has been putting her in a stanchion everyday and she is settling into the routine nicely. We tagged some animals and collected tail hairs for genetic testing. We decided to start genetic testing to assure we have the best quality beef. We are looking for good marbling, tenderness, feed efficiency and high yeild grades.
The pigs will have to be separated soon as they are due the end of the month.
We need to build more chicken coops so all of our birds have plenty of room in their outdoor mobile homes.
Registrations for CSA shares have started to filter in as well.
