Been lots of long days on the farm. Ace & I have gotten too much tractor time together, I think she is ready to go back to moving cattle with me.

The last 2 weeks of May were non-stop rain so everything got delayed & compressed into the last couple weeks. We chopped 150 acres of ryegrass for silage, spread manure and then this week planted corn on 250 acres.

Last week I was praying for the rain to stop, now it’s getting dry and our newly planted corn seeds need some moisture. So yes, I’m praying for rain this week.

The Importance of Dry Dams on the Farm

Monday, we received 4.4 inches of rain, most of it overnight as heavy storms moved through. By Tuesday, I checked our dry dams to make sure everything was holding. The result was simple but telling- very little water had collected.

New Bull Herd on the Farm

A cow contributes only half of a calf’s genetic potential. The other half comes from the bull, which is why bull selection matters so much.

Braised Beef Short Ribs with Parmesan Polenta and Roasted Carrots Recipe

Few dishes capture comfort like braised short ribs. The aroma of slow-cooked beef, rich sauce, and creamy polenta creates that unmistakable feeling of a meal worth slowing down for. For this version, I used Fischer Farms bone-in short ribs- a mix of one single-bone and one double-bone cut- to showcase the versatility Fischer Farms offers chefs and home cooks alike.
