You haven’t HERD much from me lately, but I have two little rascals who keep me pretty busy. In fact, I am basically a stay-at-home mom these days; just making special appearances at the farm. It’s a temporary gig and I plan to return full-time to the farm eventually. Currently, the twins and I take […]
Dairy Good Christmas Traditions
This past September, I became a mom…to TWINS! The husband and I are officially the parents to one little farm boy and one little farm girl. While I am unsure of what “sleep” is, we have never been happier. I have always been a fan of Christmas, but with two little ones in the house […]
Kids These Days
As a dairy farmer, I have had some experience interviewing employees-mostly high school students. Some of these teens have an ag background while others do not, but what many of them seem to have in common is the inability to make a good first impression. Now, I’m not saying every youngster I have interviewed lacks […]
What do Dairy Farmers do with all that Poop?
We all know that cows poop…a lot. Luckily, cow manure is not waste to farmers. In fact, it is very valuable. We capture the manure our cows produce, store it in a giant pit and, when the weather permits, reuse it as a natural fertilizer. It is a great soil nutrient and helps us to […]
Cash: The social media SUPERSTAR
If you follow me on social media at all, you probably know that I am basically obsessed with my dog. I love dogs in general, but my dog, Cash, is just the best. My husband claims Cash and I have an unhealthy attachment to each other. I don’t know what he’s talking about- isn’t it […]
We are Expanding Our Herd
Well, in case you haven’t HERD, we are expecting twins this November! Can you believe it? Our fertility journey wasn’t the easiest and I still cannot believe we are lucky enough to be having twins. What makes it even sweeter? We have one farm BOY and farm GIRL growing in there. Doesn’t get any better than […]
Why I choose milk
Personally, I love milk. Yes, it probably has something to do with the fact that I am a dairy farmer, but drinking milk is more than just a tradition for me. It is a healthy, affordable and nutritious choice for my family. Now, there are a lot of wacka-doodles out there that would like you […]
You’ve Been MOO-ed
Well. The holidays are over. I don’t know about you, but this next couple of months is my least favorite time of year. Its cold, windy and just plain nasty outside. The once fluffy, white snow is now frozen and dirty looking. The sparkly Christmas lights are packed up and put away and there are […]
Someone I Love Was Never Born
Guys, sometimes life really sucks. Loss and infertility is something my husband and I have been struggling with for over two years now. And it has been tough. Probably the toughest 2+ years of my life. Thankfully, I have some great friends and family members who make the whole situation a little less sucky. That […]
Tammy Tells All
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 […]
