Two Sparrows Farm

Still waiting on those pastures to dry out so we can graze…🌱 thanks to more rain 💦
…
In the meantime, this heifer was born this week & she’s a pretty cute consolation prize 😍
…

It’s been a productive spring break!! ☀️
…
New babies + spring cleanup + daily farm tasks 💚
…
It’s GREENing up a ton around here but we aren’t anywhere near grazing yet. But we have *hope* of grazing in another month or so 🤞

Baby beef girl this weekend!! 🥰

We are looking on the positive side of this j***y weather and we’re collecting the last of our winter hay stores tucked along tree lines around our property and hay field so we have easy hay access as soon as the ground thaws again. 🚜
…
While we have a decent amount of cement & barn space on our farm, there is nowhere near enough to store everything that we need each winter for lactating & dry cows, beef groups, yearling calves and weaning calves; which means we tend to tuck bales along the edges of fields as we bale and wrap them in the summer. Frozen ground makes these easily accessible…muddy ground does not. 😬
…
So, today is the day to collect the rest of what we need and we *still* may have to buy a little in to stretch us to grazing season. Looking at the “spring” weather, I doubt we will be grazing before May 1 this year. 😳
…
But, no season lasts forever! 🤞😅
