It's Cold Outside...

Hello to everyone!  We, here at Amazing Grace Dairy hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Today it is snowing!  I sound excited about it, because I didn't have to milk this morning or do any chores!

My husband took this picture with his phone this morning while he was giving the heifers some hay.

Notice her name on the yellow tag?

This is Brrr.  Yes, that actually is her name.  She was born on a frozen, snowy, frigid morning last March and was one of those calves that we had to get to the hot room pretty quickly and get some colostrum in her belly.  She came around just fine, but I named her Brrr in commemoration of the experience.  The girl that helped us last year calls her, "Brrr Honey" as Brrr was her favorite calf out of the 50 we kept.

I am still hoping to share from last year's (feels so weird to say that in reference to 2014) experiences, but I won't make any promises, as life still seems to be going pretty fast even though we are entering our slow time and starting to dry cows up.

On a side note:  we do have 9 pregnant cows for sale.  We had originally had an agreement with another farmer for him to buy them, but due to circumstances out of both his and our control, the agreement has fallen through.  They are all due in May, and I will try to get pictures posted soon.  Only one of them is a three-quartered cow.

Until next time--blessings to each of you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  To Him be glory and honor for ever and ever.  Amen.
