Calf #2 & #3

Found this little cutie on Saturday morning! Another heifer!!


Then found this one when we got here today.  Another heifer!!


Checked on her a few hours later and weren't sure that she had nursed,  so we loaded her up and brought her to the lot. Of course she had to pee all down my leg!!

After working with her for a little while,  Jeff got her nursing. We'll leave them in the lot overnight just to keep an eye on them.

Can't believe that a month has past!!

So much has been going on here on the farm! Lots of pictures to see!😊
We attended this year's Mother Earth News Fair in Belton,  Tx . Saw Marty Raney and Kaytlynn got to love on a baby goat!


The tomatoes are growing , but way too slow this year.😣

Made a batch of homemade chicken stock.  This is SO  easy to do and tastes much better than storebought.  Not to mention the health benefits!


Went to Lake Jackson for one of Peyton's baseball games.  He played an amazing game 
 He's getting so good!


We put out 2 swarm catch honey bee hives at the beginning of the week. Hoping to catch some free bees!🐝

And we had the first calf of the year born this week. A little heifer! She is black , shiny and tiny!! Maloo did a good job! Now she needs a name - the letter s this year 


Been busy getting the raised beds up and going. We ate our first salad this week from them. Wonderful taste! Jeff opened the beehive in the pasture yesterday and they have a little honey! Will need to add a super in a week. And will check on the ones in Coldspring later today. Along with the other 2 cows that are due to calve at any moment! Have another batch of eggs in the incubator,  the last ones were rotten 😲, 12 of these are green eggs , so hoping for a good hatch.  Borrowed an egg turner this time and it sure makes it easier to do! Also have made a trip to the beach,  but it's so wet that it's hard to enjoy yourselves . Planning to get the porch built and dirt hauled in soon. Well need to get busy,  hopefully will catch up quicker in the next week!
