There's less than an hour left in Wednesday, so let me quickly catch you up to speed on what's been happening:
We've had three heifers give birth to their first calves this week. Their addition to the milking herd gives us 205 going through the barn twice a day.
- After Monday's rain pushed everything back, we finally finished baling and wrapping our wheat and ryegrass. We yielded out 201 bales on roughly 20 acres...not bad!
- We have a thin 7 acre patch of ryegrass that we intend to dry bale tomorrow.
The co-op began spreading fertilizer and lime on our hay fields this afternoon.
- And speaking of co-ops, you can read my post on the Capper-Volstead Act and agricultural cooperatives on the Farm Bureau blog
Time to grab the milk jug and take a big swig before I crawl into bed. Have a "dairy" good night everyone!
