Cow keeper pins cow hashtag and it’s all stickers and women in animal prints. 😆 This place cracks me up. Unpins cows…looks out window at the cows.

Well shit, I guess it was still frozen. lol The third week in January in Minnesota is always wild. 🥶

🌱 Moving tanks before the hard freeze. Milwaukee is such a game changer on the ‘stead. 🌱

Good for her! And you! The success and failures still hold plenty of butter and fills the stomach. Lol

Thanks for asking. It was a total success after weeks of flops. Might eat the whole thing today. 🤣

Filling the days with completing projects, restoring some order to the house, and brushing up on some old skills. Adding some new ones too. Gosh I hope they aren’t hollow. lol

Ours is mid/late summer. The first and second cuts of hay are normal but it seems to dry up right after that second cut until fall. The trad folks still take the third cut it they can get it though. I’m small and I leave it standing now and winter graze. Last year it was a fed declared drought.

A late start for Minnesota but winter finally arrived.

Taking jars out of the pressure canner is always so sketchy. Quietly chanting “please don’t break please don’t break.”

Grain training is the best. I do the same with my cattle. I sleep a little better knowing they’re in for the night too. Nice little breeding group btw.

Yeeeaah, I did the same with knitting. All I did was tie up my own hands in knots. Then a friend told me they can teach monkeys how to knit so I could learn too. Anyway. I still cant knit. 🤣💀

Working on filling the bin with ash for the coming winter and ice. Amazing night in Minnesota last. Full moon, cool weather, icy beer.

It’s Bedtime. Goodnight sweet little farm.

In preparation for winter grazing, I opened up the “emergency swath” of pasture for the cattle today. I could have just put up the hay but with the drought every year, this stand seems more practical. The cattle will graze this well into January now. #smallfarmlife #minnesota #cattle #ope

Swinging tails and a blue sky morning. With love from Minnesota.
