Deer Hunting Season

Deer Hunting Season

What do we do when it's deer hunting season?

When hunting local, we wake up real early, usually around 3 am. We do the milking. We feed the calves, pigs, horses, and dogs. We move the portable fence, so the cows and heifers have fresh pasture for the day and try to be in the woods before dawn.

Although it can be challenging to find the time to hunt, it is very relaxing to sit out in God’s creation and watch nature.

On November 25th, my 10-year old son, Marlin, accompanied me for his first ever deer hunt. My wife, Sadie, and our daughters did the milking, so we could have some Father-Son time which is really special.

It turned out to be a gorgeous day.

We saw quite a few deer and were able to harvest a mature doe. Our family likes venison (deer meat) with bologna and dried venison probably being our favorite. So, now we have venison in the freezer along with our 100% grass fed beef, pastured pork, chicken, and turkey which keeps things interesting.

We can't sell you any of our venison, unfortunately. Boo-hoo!! However, we do have some wonderful new products.

So long for now.

Wishing God’s blessing to you and your family.

Lucky Breaks

We had a break in the weather this week which melted the snow. The creek waters rose, the animals nibbled on some new sprouting greens, and we enjoyed the tease of Spring. I’m happy to report that of the two downed milk cows from the brutal cold last month, one of them, Dilly, we were able to get back on her feet with physical therapy and massage and save her life.

Blistery Weather on the Farms

Two cows went down. One did not make it. We are trying to nurse the other back. Besides the regular milking, bottling, feeding, and making butter, the daily routine now includes feeding the animals behind wind breaks, breaking ice in watering troughs, bringing many into the shelters, especially the sheep whose lambs are more susceptible to predators at nighttime.

Bones, Broths, Stews, and Roasts

As we finally shift to Autumn after this long dry Summer, we want to bring your attention to our slow-cooked hearty meat dishes. Stock up on our Soup Bones, Marrow Bones, Osso Bucco Bones, Chicken Broth, Beef Broth, Turkey Broth, Beef Cubes (aka Stew Beef), and Roasts for warm, rich soups and stews.
