"Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."

~Hebrews 12: 1-2

Drying Up

Well, we are drying up the cows.  We usually have one to two dry up sessions per week, but the end is in site.  I think Tuesday will be our final day of shipping milk.  Our milk truck driver will come on Wednesday early in the morning and that will be it!

....ok so it won't completely be it, but we won't be shipping the milk.  We still have six heifers that are hanging around that are either just recently marked pregnant or open and we will continue to milk them once a day so that the cats will have milk to drink and hopefully so that the heifers that didn't get pregnant can last until this next breeding season, where they will have another shot at getting pregnant in the window.  We don't normally do this, because it tends not to be cost effective, but we could use the cow numbers and it is just a shame to sell first lactation heifers if you don't have to.

Well, that is all for now.

Blessings to each of you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
