The sense of relief when last bale of hay is stacked in the barn. Years ago our old neighbour was ill and that evening I told him I had finished his haymaking and all was ready for winter for the cows, he smiled and passed away.
Yeah, this article really hit me. Spring is huge in our orchard. Pruning and tree replacement, spraying and minding for deer, it's a huge job. Then in the fall it's all about bringing in the apples and processing. After the long winter it takes the body until July to adjust! Good luck! Looks like you are growing garlic?
Summer on the ranch on the Western Slope of Colorado is busy, too. Irrigating, cleaning ditches, fixing fence, cutting wood to heat the homes, haying, moving the cattle. I'm posting on behalf of my sister and brother who are the true ranchers and have no time for social media 😁
Are cattle cows and bulls? Does one farm do milking and one beef products? How does it work?
Are you suffering because of all the cutting of subsidies for farmers now? Or tariffs? Lack of workers?
I may have asked but will you share where you are located? Generally? Lime not your address.
When I was a kid down the street from my relatives was a dairy farm in a suburb of San Diego no less. My sister and I would sit in the fence dangling our legs and the cows would come over and lick and sometimes suck our sweaty legs for salt I guess. Weird feeling. Good times.

I think that’s how I’ll leave, knowing the cows are fed. 😁💚🐮🐮💚👍🏽

Seasonal work always take an adjustment. We grow a little bit of everything. 😁💚🐮🐮💚👍🏽
