Lost In Thoughts
Imagine getting a letter from the government explaining you have six months or less to leave your house because your land, and those of your neighbors, is being taken for the greater good. Whether you wanted to leave, or not, you are now experiencing the dilemmas of eminent domain. To be clear, I am not... Continue Reading →
I'm a dairy farmer, and obviously I like milk, cheese, ice cream, and all things dairy. Perhaps this is why I'm still surprised when I see articles like Cows, who needs them. This one was definitely one of the most extremely radical pieces I've read in a mainstream magazine. The writer ignored old and new... Continue Reading →
Three great news stories were waiting on me when I got up this morning. Maybe I should say I found them because a couple are a few days late. I'm even taking credit for one of them. I'm sure I deserve it! Mark Zuckerberg visited a dairy farm. Obviously he read my last post and decided to... Continue Reading →
My oldest is the dancer in the family. Many, many evenings and weekends are spent going to dance practice and events. But it isn't a one way street.

Send me your jeans, any size, and I'll wear them to the barn and do every farm chore you can imagine, getting them dirty and smelly along the way. I'll do the work so you don't have to. Why offer this service?... Continue Reading →
You've read about it on the internet. You know all about those dairy cows that are overworked and underpaid. These are the cows you've read about. Just what are these cows doing? Look closely and you'll see the problem. I mean besides the weeds that should've been mowed. If you said they're not watching Netflix... Continue Reading →
We take much care in raising our calves. By getting the calves off to a good start we make sure that we will have a good herd of cows in the future. The best cows always begin life as healthy calves. When they are born we let the calf nurse the cow for a few... Continue Reading →
