Mackenzie is on the mound again! Thank goodness she eats a well-balanced diet that includes all the foods from the mypyramid.gov!

Yes, even the help likes to sneak a donut once in a while!

Compost is ready to sell!

First-crop hay is being made.  It is early this year because we had sun and rain at the right time

Kenzie is getting ready to rototil the compost!

Cows out on pasture!  Yes, they do need a little grass in their diet.  The cows also need a mix with grain, minerals and vitamins combined with the haylage and corn silage.  The balance helps to provide them all their nutrients to be digested in their four (4) stomachs. 

Dan from C&D Landscape is buying a load of the compost to use at his customers sites!  It is a wonderful mix with the beautiful Wisconsin soil.
Scott, the animal nutritionist, is taking samples of the haylage that has just been delivered.  We will soon get the results and revamp our total-mixed ration.

Daily milk run

Every other day the milk gets picked up by our milk hauler and taken to a re-load in Elkhorn.  The milk is sampled right on our dairy and then again at the re-load.
