Freezing in Iowa

We have found so many of our customers are interested in how we farm. I am going to try to keep a monthly blog of whats going on here on our farm & with our family. I am not a writer & grammar was never a strong point of mine. Please bear with me!
     I am writing this from our office and looking out at 40mph winds blowing snow everywhere. Jason just went out the lane with the tractor & an old  silage wagon he recently bought & refurbished. He is quite proud of this latest accomplishment. Before this feeding silage was quite time consuming & this should help speed feeding chores up. The cows enjoy this treat when the pastures are frozen solid & covered with snow. Our first cows are getting ready to calve. I really hope they hold off a few more days till the winds calm down.
     The kids were left out of school early today due to the weather. Kaitlyn & Kacey are outside in the barn brushing one of her show heifers she named "Wiggles". Konrad on the other hand is a fair weather farmer & decided staying inside with mom was more appealing.
     We did a winter meat drop off to the Des-Moines area this week & had wonderful response. It amazes me that we have such wonderful customers who would give up a little of their Sat. am to come out in the rain & cold to purchase our products. If any of you are reading this THANK YOU! You help keep our dreams alive.
     Well I hope I can keep this blog current. I welcome any feedback. Till next time, stay warm & safe!

Amy
