We are a 5th generation dairy farm in Wisconsin. My husband and I rotationally graze our dairy herd and heifers and also raise beef and goats. We are in our mid 50's and are the primary labor on our 60 cow dairy. We hope you find our blog interesting. Sometimes its hard to explain every detail so feel free to ask questions and we will do our best to answer them. This is a daily diary about our life running a dairy farm.

time out
Life is crazy. Not only do we have the normal farm stuff to do, we have company, and company for company, and more company coming. The last heifer we expected to have her calf did so tonight so we will have a break with 1 heifer left to go. These coming days will be chaotic. Our harvestore has significant chain problems that were not able to be corrected today. The shaft for the spreader is back so that can be fixed. We have treated 2 calves for pneumonia this week. It needs to be colder but temps in the 30's is certainly nice for holiday travel. This will be my last post until after Christmas since my office will turn into a guest room. All of our helpers will be gone from Friday to Tuesday. I am tired but the next few days will be SO much fun! Merry Christmas!
