The week didn't start off too good. First thing Monday morning I had to dispose of a dead calf which is never fun. All indications are that the calf was born dead, although it looked perfectly normal. I will never get used to removing a dead baby anything from it's mama who just doesn't understand that despite all her efforts that baby is not going to stand and nurse. This year I had to do that with a foal, and now with a calf. All farming activities are not fun, but that's part of it.
We sure have had a weather reprieve this week which has been super! We finally got some much needed rain and the temps in the 70's are awesome! I hope this trend continues for a few more days.
Farmers Markets are definitely keeping me busy...Tuesday evening in downtown Corbin, Saturday mornings at Goldbug and the newest market on Thursday evenings in Knox County. There are plenty of opportunities for folks to purchase USDA Certified Grass Fed Beef, Natural Pork, and Free Range Chicken! I am getting some really good feedback on the chicken. I actually did a taste comparison this week and will be reporting my findings soon so stay tuned! Thanks so much to all of my customers!
I hope everyone has a good rest of the week! Til later...
