A great app!

🚨 GIVEAWAY! 🚨

As mentioned previously, as a way to give back to the community as well as to encourage increased support of the app, I am giving away a Charles Walter single row seeder.

No purchase necessary.

Having a Henalytics account: +10 entries

Following us on FB: +10 entries

Sharing this post (can either tag 2 people in comments or share): +20 entries

Future giveaways will happen when the amount of support surpasses the amount to run the app (my labor included as I now spend around 2-3 hours a day when the kiddos and wife are asleep to build the app 🙂). This seeder giveaway is made possible from a generous supporter helping to get it off the ground. Future giveaways will be contingent on support being more than costs!

Giveaway ends September 1st!

Winner will be announced in the app and notified via email around September 15.

The person who said “don’t cry over spilt milk” obviously never milked a cow. 😭

Banding and tagging calves today! We have 3 boys and 2 girls! We will have a couple more calves born in the fall but these ones are ready!

Our newest member of the ranch born yesterday, a little Dexter! He is so cute and his face matches my mood for this morning. 😅🤫

Well call me crazy but we decided to add a bottle calf to the craziness!! This little girl will hopefully one day be a good milk cow for our family. She is a Jersey/Angus cross. She is super cute! Now we have a good place to put some of this milk to good use! Little miss is already helping out!

Mother’s Day out here milking the cow in the beautiful sunshine! Then just when I thought I was done this mama walked in the headlock and decided she needed to be milked too. She was squirting milk before I even hooked her up! Glad to provide some relief for her and also add to the fridge. I think I’m going to need a second fridge just for milk soon or a bottle calf to feed!

It’s been a crazy week or two, I can’t remember! Our second calf was born yesterday, a little red heifer. We have started to freeze dry the colostrum for future use with calves. I learned to make bone broth and tallow! Today we will be working on fences because our cows have been stinkers and have been breaking the fences.
