The boys finished up corral cleaning and stockpiling this week and Jan is glad to be back in the barn. He roped Kristy into buzz'n off fuzzballs this winter and they got a pretty good start today. The fresh heifer is Sidekick Annemiek, can't wait to get her scored next week!

Got a nice start on cleaning out our solid manure today!

Just when we thought only robot farmers have problems. Although this is a first! Monica is just loving my idea of a date night. As one of our friends always proclaims, "Makin' memories!!" - info update - it takes just over 4 hours to milk 52 cows in a 'swing 2 bucket milker parlor' when you're determined to get to bed.

Finally! After a year of cancellations, a show! Thanks to mom & dad and the rest of the crew at home for their support getting us out.
