Autumn on the Farm...


Western Oregon is getting hit with

lots of autumn color this year...

Grape Leaves

growing in the back yard...





Each morning at sunrise

I am out in the yard with the camera...





36 degrees at sunrise...

lots of gorgeous color!





Pacific Sunset Maple Tree in the front yard...









It is also Cow Feeding

time of the year:


We moved the round bale feeders

out of winter storage...





and up river to one of the 

winter cow feeding pastures...




Somebody must have rung the dinner bell ?


Cow and calf pairs started showing up

from all reaches...





Everybody loves a free meal...





We will feed every day for the next 8 months.



The spring calves have really grown:


They now weigh in at 500 pounds



February 2018....


This was our very first calf born this year.....



7 months later:


This is Calf 1


In between cow feeding,

I will try and keep my sewing machine 

humming along.

    1. Thanks Robbie! We can't believe it is feeding time already. The summer months sure blow by quickly......maybe that has something to do with getting older?

  2. Beautiful colors on your farm! Love the videos of what you have to do to feed the cattle during the winter...even more fun when there is snow on the ground!! Wondering about Golden Girl and the Bottle Boys...how are they doing? Challenge for you (like you need more!!): figure out a craft for the monthly ladies to make using the cut pieces of bailing twine! I accumulate so much with just 3 horses, so I know you have way more!!

  3. Golden Girl and her first Calf, Vicky, are doing just great. The bottle boys are up river getting fed with the cow and calf pairs for the winter.
