We Love Crabgrass

October 21, 2020 / Lauren Langley / Leave a comment

You might be thinking, has she lost her mind? I have indeed not lost my mind but have found the incredible value that crabgrass has to offer our farm. But first, a little history on crabgrass. In 1988, the first improved variety of forage crabgrass was released, better known as ‘Red River’ crabgrass. ‘Red River’ … Continue reading We Love Crabgrass

Cow Poop & Soil Health

Recently, I posted about dung beetles on our Instagram and it made me think.  This kind of information doesn't get posted enough.  You know, the kind of information about what we do for animal health as well as soil/bug health in our pastures.  If we are not thinking about feeding the soil (microbes, worms, dung … Continue reading Cow Poop & Soil Health

Can anyone else relate? I am so over hay feeding and winter already! Give me warmer temps and green grass already!! ☀️ 🌱 At least it’s Friday!!
I am convinced that the best days are those spent with family and cattle. Throw in some sunshine and decent temperatures on top of that and we are all smiles doing farm chores!
In the winter our cows receive all the hay they can eat, fresh water, minerals, and protein/energy supplements. This year we are feeding them two types of hay: fescue and peanut. North Carolina grows thousands of acres of peanuts each year which leaves a by-product of vines and leaves that can be made into dry hay. Peanut hay is a good source of fiber and protein making it a great choice. Quality can fluctuate year to year with weather and you have to watch out for too much soil being baled with the hay. Always buy from a reputable source and have the hay tested. We like feeding peanut hay because of the protein content and the cows really seem to enjoy it!
Happy New Year! 🎊

There is just something special about a good farm dog. Dory wasn’t even supposed to happen but 3-ish years ago she found us through a friend and she has been an amazing companion for my dad on the farm. Dad lost his original farm dog, Tipper this year which was tough on all of us. Thankfully, sweet Dory has been there when we needed her the most. She is the happiest dog ever and is always by your side ready to go!
