kdolu I recently had the opportunity to write for the Progressive Dairyman and wanted to share my words with you 🙂 I have been blogging and using social media to share my farm story for quite a few years now. When I first started, I knew that there were going to be people who didn’t like […] We describe in this article Modern-day Farm Chick – Page 3 – Sharing stories from my modern-day farm life
I have been keeping a secret from you guys. It’s a big one. Are you ready for it? We are building a new free-stall barn and manure pit! This new naturally ventilated barn will replace our older, greenhouse-style barns and allow us to milk 100 more cows. We are super duper excited and I […]

They are fun and beautiful videos to watch; the cows frolicking onto green grass with blue skies in the background. They are happy cows, no doubt. Now here […]
Look, not every day on the farm is calf kisses and cow scratches. Though I tend to post a lot of cute photos of me and the family hanging at the farm, there are days that aren’t so pretty. Employees can screw up, your husband might tick you off, and the cows might test your patience. […]
I have some exciting news to share with you all today! We recently invested in some new technology at the farm and it has made farm life a breeze. I have collaborated with Calf-Star and Mlsna Dairy Supply on this post to share how we use the Milk Taxi to feed our calves. I’m not going […]
