Noah Can Milk the Cow

Some people don’t believe it but, yes, Noah can actually milk the cow. Even left-handed. If you look closely, he’s getting a stream of milk out of that teat. He’s got good technique, but not a lot of stamina :-)

Steven on Nauvoo Dam Checking the Breach

This is the evidence of the volume of water that flowed over the top of this dam. It was something to behold. The turbulence on the back side really did some damage to the dam. As you can see here, the dam was almost breached. According to our measurement, we got 18 inches of rain in a two day period and that came on the heals of a 5 inch rain a few weeks earlier.

Steven Surveys the Flooding Damage

Yes, this lake is way above normal. It’s probably 25 deep in the middle. I wonder how many gallons of water is in there now. We had to get the JD Skidsteer out for some emergency repairs and to try to dig a channel for the overflow to go through so the dam wouldn’t be breached.

Future Bull Prospect

Here’s a yearling Hereford bull that has caught everyone’s eye lately. I got him to stand still and pose for me. He’s just thick all around and has a nice straight back and a good look to him.

New Baby Calves

There’s been a bunch of baby calves born lately around here. Here are a few black baldy calves. These mostly black calves with a little white on their faces are the product of a Hereford mama and a Black Angus bull.

Bring In Sugar For Milking

Sugar, our lone Jersey cow is out on some lush pasture right now. She has a 70 acre pasture all to herself and roams it searching for the most luscious clover. But it means we have to find her in the mornings when it’s time to milk her. Here’s Russell and Robbie leading her to the milking barn.

New Baby

There’s another new baby horse on our place. She was just born a few days before this picture was taken. She is the daughter of a Thoroughbred mare and a Quarterhorse sire. We have high hopes for this little one.
