Catching Up!! (sort ya)
Hello All!!
It has been so long and there is so much to catch up on. I think I'm going to do this by subject.
Demi Rosa Goats
Demi Rosa Cabin
Demi Rosa Farm
Demi Rosa Dexters: This is a new addition that I think you will enjoy.
Year in Review.
I'll start this blog off with the farm. Such a hot dry summer that the grapes didn't do very well. The grass didn't grow much, only mowed the vineyard twice all summer. We were luckier than most we did have grass for the animals. So many people had to sell their herds due to no hay. Hay has been coming from up North all summer and even now for the winter. My pasture is still somewhat green but again the Lord has blessed the Demi Rosa on many occasions and this is one.
The garden only produced jalapeno peppers. They are one of the only things that grow in the dry heat!! We love jalapeno poppers so it could have worse!! LOL NOTHING!!
The chickens quite laying due to the heat. I had to buy eggs for the first time in, well I can't remember when. Dried up the goats up early. So no milk or eggs for months. Really missed the eggs.
Have been thinking alot about how expensive food has become and butter is one thing this family would be hard pressed to due without!! SSooooooo, have to think about cow milk. I really hate goat butter. I just don't care for the flavor. I purchased two dexter heifers. I really love my little cows. I'll talk more about them later.
Have been getting the barn ready for the new kids, cows and horses. I really have to make everyone comfortable. The cows have taken up room in the barn. I know they are cows and don't need a barn but they are my cows and MY cows need a barn to sleep in and get out of the weather. More on cows later.... a bit of a surprise!!
