The Farm Feed

A quiet, algorithm-free window into the seasonality of our daily life.

07.09.25 TUE – THIS HEAT

So, it’s obviously been terribly hot this last week or two and Jeff has been a trooper and let me work on inside chores while he braves the heat outside in the evenings

07.08.25 TUE

1.5 inches of rain 😲

07.07.25 MON – 2 baby calves!

We had 2 mommas that were both due on 7/7/25 and they BOTH had happy, healthy, bouncing baby calves on their due date

07.04.25 FRI – 2 more Nubians

We picked up 2 Nubian weanlings from Arlington, NE and are SO excited to have them!

06.30.25 MON

We sold a total of 18 goats in the month of June 😲 with our last 3 of them going to their new homes on the very last day

06.23.25 MON – Pick up our first Skid Steer from SD

Jeff drove to Aberdeen SD to pick up our very own (used) skid steer!

We named him EL TORO

It was a ROUGH 19 hour day of travel, but he made it back safe and sound (praise the Lord!)

06.16.25 MON – Processing Day

We processed 1 sheep and our first goat – it was a rough day for Lorraine 💔

06.14.25 SAT – Lamb Weaning Day

All our lambs were sold, and they’re now 3 months old so we are weaning them for a few weeks before pickup in July (so they’re less stressed when they leave)

05.17.25 SAT – Our 6 year anniversary ❤️

There’s no days off in farming, so today included regular chores, banding 3 baby goats, and an early Memorial Day BBQ

04.2025

April was some sort of time warp with all the babies that arrived

What is the Farm Feed?

Think of this as our “live” window — quick updates on what’s taking our time and attention this season.
