Rain, rain go away...at least 'til we get our watering system in!

We've had rain, rain and then more rain lately and while its great grass-growin' weather, it makes trench digging and pipe laying extremely messy and slow.  The watering system is the missing link in our MIG and we're very anxious to get it up and running, so the rain is a mixed blessing at this point.  Our grass is growing like gangbusters, though!

We've recently purchased a few more Devon and Milking Devon.  They are all doing well and lovin' all the grass we have this year. The heifer calves are missing their mommas, but seem to be adjusting.  Our new Milking Devon bull, Leon, was apparently seen as a bit of a threat to one of our other Devon bulls, Abraham.  Abe was "telling him whose boss" over the fence there for a little while, but I think they've gotten used to each other now. 

Our ewes and lambs are doing well, although I think they're a bit tired of being wet.  The girls had a surprise the other day when they checked on them during morning chores...a new lamb!  The other lambs are about 3 months old now and are almost as big as their mommas, so it's nice to have a little one that you can pick up around again.

We'll be taking our grass-finished lambs and calves in for processing shortly and should be ready for the farmer's market(s) soon.  We'll post the exact dates when we have them.  We're looking forward to having a good grass-fed steak again, ourselves.  We're out of everything except hamburger, which is great, but let's face it; a good steak is the best!
