Welcome to our first Fun, Fact Friday in May. By now I think I have made it clear that I dedicate Friday’s to giving you fun, facts about certain whole food items in your grocery and promoting American agriculture. During the month of May, I am putting that concept into hyper drive and plan to use Fridays to talk about the food commodity that is the foundation of my existence, cattle which translates to beef.

I know I am behind my usual schedule for my garden. By now I usually have all my root crops in and my cool season greens. And frankly, the April wind left me battered and beaten and honestly avoiding working in my garden. But, the spring moisture has finally arrived and this damp crisp air has me invigorated to lay in garden rows of cool season crops like radishes, greens and root crops.

Yesterday started some of my girls most favorite work, AIing their cattle. It was a big surprise to have one of the heifers that was just shown 48 hours earlier and earned some top honors, come into heat yesterday. But that is the priority, making cows first and doing some showing on the side.

Before long, these hills will awaken from their long winter naps and come alive with a fresh, vibrant landscape. We hustle around to help all of our neighbors work their spring calves and enjoy a bit of friendly company with those that enjoy the same way of life that we do.
