Let’s Talk Bovine Pedis

Did you know that cattle sometimes need a pedicure too?  Last week, at our cattlemen's field day we had a hoof trimmer do a demonstration on a few beef cows.  If you have never seen a hoof trimmer in action, it is quite the site to see!

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!
