🚨 BREAKING: New Hampshire just advanced a bill to let ranchers sell beef without USDA approval! No more “personal use only” BS. This is meat for the people—direct to homes, grocers, and restaurants. The feds didn’t sign off— And that’s the point! 🇺🇸 LIVE FREE OR DIE!
🚨New Hampshire ranchers are stuck with a 2-year waitlist to process their own beef. “There’s no USDA plant available—and selling local is illegal without it.” A new bill would legalize state-only sales. D.C. says it’s forbidden. NH says: try us. LIVE FREE OR DIE.

For those that don’t know when you AI a heifer you have a 90% of the sexed semen working correctly. In this case we ended up being on the 10% margin. It’s okay, God has a plan. I think he might know more than he leads on because it all worked out okay.

Well, beautiful Cupcake is still pregnant. We are currently 5 days past the first AI stick and 4 days past the second AI stick. It looks like she’s still progressing, volva is getting “springy-er” and her teets are starting to fill up and lose their wrinkles. We’ve learned so

She still pregnant, hoping to see more progress by morning. When we AI’d her, we did it two nights in a row. I’m hoping that it was the second night that stuck and today was the due date and we’re not over by a day. Time will tell, we lucky to have great mentors near by. We’ll

Big momma is getting so close, we’re three days out from our first calf! We can’t begin to explain how excited we are! Going to try to post every day until the new arrival. This is the calf that will change it all.

First generation farming is really hard, but I wouldn’t trade this life for anything. The days are long, the goals are stretched yet each time we find a way to succeed. Cleaned the future milking parlor and started building the stanchion. We’re now 10 days until her due date.
