Our black cow with her black bull calf.
She’s a great example of the logic only humans bring to the table, as out of our herd of over 100 Red Angus cows, she’s the only one who’s registered Red Angus.
We continue to open up a little space on our farm for interesting persons to garden. Besides Isabel, three other families are gardening in our good soil.
Malcom Gladwell says, “If you find an interesting person, it means they are part of an interesting group.”
It’s been a dry spring and unseasonably warm. We welcomed over an inch of rain last night though, and cooler temperatures.
We’re wrapping up calving, which has gone well, and planning to make some 1st cutting hay on acres we didn’t graze.
