Two Cows Go Offline

Monday, July 8, 2024
Hello friends,
              Hope your Independence Day was liberating!  We had a houseful of family, and it was never a dull moment.  The weather was nice, and we had plenty of room to spread out and play.  We went fishing, we made pickles, we grilled, we ate, and we sat around a lot playing with grandchildren.  I think a good time was had by all.  It’s quiet now, but not without plenty to do.  Catch up on that laundry!
              This week two cows go offline for their pregnancy vacations, and we’ll be milking 12 cows.  That’s still plenty of milk for everyone who wants it, and enough to make yogurt, and an occasional cheese.  It means chores will be done a little more quickly, just a little.  By the end of the month Sally should have her calf and we’ll add one more milker.  It’s going to go up and down like that all fall as most of the cows take time off and come back online with a fresh supply of milk….
