I Miss My Mommy

I Miss My Mommy

June 30, 2014 in Export, Jersey Cows, Raw Dairy 15 Comments

Yesterday was rough. Today is much better. Annabelle is resting peacefully, finally. After her second miracle on Friday, Saturday was a relatively good day, except for Luit and Noni leaving for Dallas. I ran around trying to find her something she would eat, but she would not, and she did graze in the meadow a … Continue reading →

Did you think you were all cried out? Hardly.

My Mommy Is Alive!

My Mommy Is Alive!

June 28, 2014 in Jersey Cows, Raw Dairy 12 Comments

We have learned a lot about milk fever in the last couple of days, but these are the lessons you wish you learned before you need the information. Once again, milk fever was not on our radar, because we thought she was out of the woods from her earlier episode on Wednesday. All day Thursday … Continue reading →

My Mommy Almost Died

My Mommy Almost Died

June 25, 2014 in Jersey Cows, Raw Dairy 29 Comments

But I was asleep most of the time and did not even realize it. I do have some new heroes though, and they saved her life. I had tried to drink a lot today, but have a very small tummy, and my mom has a HUGE bag. The lady that came this morning when I … Continue reading →

I Don’t Like Deerflies!

I Don’t Like Deerflies!

June 25, 2014 in Highland Cows, Jersey Cows, Raw Dairy 11 Comments

I was just born about three hours ago. My mommy is covered in deerflies and so am I. I hate them. Some rude man pulled up my tail to see that I am a boy. That was not very nice. I love my mommy. Why do all these other ladies want to lick me and … Continue reading →

Pasta. Please. Pasta.

Pasta. Please. Pasta.

June 24, 2014 in Export, Lunch 5 Comments

If you tell yourself that you will never eat pasta unless you make it yourself, you might not eat it that often. But once you get them hooked on homemade pasta, you will be begged, and begged. It’s not that hard, and you don’t need a pasta machine, but it takes some time. I am … Continue reading →

June 21, 2014 in Floral Design 12 Comments

Peeling Duck Feet

Peeling Duck Feet

June 16, 2014 in Pastured Poultry, Processing 2 Comments

Last week we helped some friends process some of their ducks (more on that later.) I asked if they were going to keep the feet for bone broth, and they were a bit horrified because the feet were so nasty. I showed them how to peel the nasty parts off, revealing a sparkling clean foot, … Continue reading →

“Ever Eat a Pine Tree? Most Parts Are Edible.”

“Ever Eat a Pine Tree? Most Parts Are Edible.”

June 10, 2014 in Condiments, Export, Preserving 12 Comments

Ok, I’m dating myself, for those who remember the old Grape Nuts commercial eons ago, but I am a big fan of Euell Gibbons. While I have eaten from pine and spruce trees, I have never preserved that lovely flavor of winter to enjoy year round. There is a small window to harvest the new … Continue reading →

Twice a Day Milking a Once a Day Cow

Twice a Day Milking a Once a Day Cow

June 7, 2014 in Jersey Cows, Raw Dairy 6 Comments

Miss Becca had her first baby six weeks ago on April 26. She is no trouble to milk, but is really holding her milk back. We have been milking her once a day, and never separating her calf, but she typically has been giving around a gallon of milk. I am getting concerned, wondering why … Continue reading →
