What a mix January has brought from -22 degrees F to rain showers and thaw.
While the outside weather was all over the place, the farm has stayed pretty steady. Calves being born, heifers weaning, animals enjoying the sunshine and curling up when it is cold. Below is our highlights from this month!!
Jennifer was born!! Dam: JennyLee 1-6-18 |
Pancake was born! Dame: Waffles 1-12-18 |
Wendy calved a Bull (1-16-18) |
Lilly and Artemis both calved bulls (1-22/23-18) |
Bonnie calved another bull! Born: 1-26-18 |
Adele and Virgo were moved to the Heifer barn (1-10-18) |
Skye and Chestnut weaned and moved to Heifer barn (1-16-18) |
Wasabi, Apricot, and Hollyberry weaned (1-25-18) |
After all the rain and the air temperature going back down to freezing the sun came out and the landscape was gorgeous. The pigs were enjoying it too!

Another gorgeous view in the Vermont winter!! ** This blog is moving!!**We will no longer be running through blogger (though these past ones will still exist), so those that are subscribed you will no longer get updates. Instead you can find the blog on our website page (www.farmsforcitykids.org) by going to the 'Kids' page and clicking on 'Blog'. Tatiana (our office manager) will be running the blog, but you will still be able to contact the education staff and add comments through it. We are hoping this will allow more people to utilize the blog. Thanks, Molly :) |
