Makes Everything Look Better!

It's amazing what some warm sunshine will do to lift a persons spirits!
I'm glad we have last week behind us and looking forward to warmer days ahead. I do feel really bad for those who were really adversely affected by the amazing winter storm we had.
The animals are doing great. We've lost a few lambs, some due to the weather, some due to their mamas not taking care of them but overall, there's a really nice bunch of lambs frisking and running around.
I love going out there and watching the lambs play chase!
Pastured Pork:
Now some of you may think pigs are, well, how shall we say? Kind of dirty and stinky maybe?
I think they're really cute (and I love the bacon they produce.) They are definitely different than cows and sheep but I like to watch them rooting around, mostly taking it easy.
Pictured below are several that will be ready for processing in a couple of months. We also have some sows that look like before long we'll have more piglets running around.
If you'd like me hold a half or whole hog for you, reserve it here.
Beef supply:
I took some cows in yesterday for processing. We're sold out on our ribeye and NY strip steaks but we should have a pretty good supply of ground beef and roast cuts.
We have several halves spoken for already. If you think you'd like a half, let me know so we can try to get it scheduled with the processor. I spoke with one processor yesterday who is booked up till '22.
Farm tour:
We haven't forgotten about the farm tour event. Still working at figuring out the details and date but we're looking forward to it sometime late spring.
I think that's all for this week. Enjoy the warmer weather,
Craig
P.S. We're also rendering more pork lard. We'll let you know when it's available.
