Two Herds

Now that we moved a portion of our cattle to ‘55’, we officially have two cattle herds.

Mountain Glen Farm herd in shade of a 200+ year-old wild cherry tree.

The Mountain Glen Farm herd will eventually be all South Poll, South Poll cross. There are a few remaining Angus that will be transitioned off the farm.

Look at base of tree, red cow, black speck (new heifer)

Our first calf that was born on Thursday, March 29^th, a ½ Angus, ½ South Poll heifer.  She is so cute!

The ‘55’ farm herd currently is all Angus, Angus cross cows.  This spring’s calves will be 50% South Poll.  The cattle seemed to have acclimated well to their new home since their move two days ago.

Note:  I did see a dentist about my two front teeth and am happy to report that both teeth seem fine at the moment.  What I thought was a crack across one tooth was only a portion of the enamel breaking off.  Because the teeth were hit straight across and not in an upward motion, the dentist thinks that there is no nerve damage.  I was LUCKY!!!!

Where are the sheep?  They have been given a separate pasture while waiting for the lambs to arrive. We were uncertain what a huge 1200 pound cow would do to a 10 pound lamb, so we thought we better be safe and separate the flerd into herd and flock during the ‘baby’ season.

Spring continues to display a colorful and fragrant-filled beauty.  I am absorbing every second.
