New Cows Are Here!

Monday, September 11, 2023
Hello friends,
              A little rain!  I am thankful for every drop, but we need quite a bit more to wake up the pastures.  I think the clovers will perk up and that will help.  The cows are eating hay because the pastures are dormant for the moment.   More rain please! 
              The new cows are here!  Their names are Casey, Chanel, Fresca, Iggy, Rain, and Skinny Dip.  We are adjusting their common names a bit because, well, we like our names better.  Skinny Dip is now Candy, and Iggy is  now Victorious which are derived from their father’s names “Candyman” and “Victrius”.  Anyway, they are coming and going back and forth with our 10 milkers, increasing our milk production from about 30 gallons to our farm’s record high of 52 gallons for one day.  Wow!  We have plenty of milk for everyone, and for cheesemaking as well.  It’s a little daunting, but it will settle down as we have three cows going on their pregnancy vacations by the end of the month and before Kelsey has her calf about the same time.  Not expecting you to keep track of all that, but when you see different names, you will know they are now in the Skyview herd.
