Embrace The Calf

Many of you may have seen this picture we shared on Facebook. One of our customers noted how appropriate it was for this black/white speckled calf to be born this week with so much racial tension. I like his suggestion to call the calf “embrace” as we should embrace all. Thanks Joe Grilliot for your awesome suggestion! So still calving on the farm and the weather is supposed to finally stop raining for 5 days straight! Going to start cutting the ryegrass on Sunday evening and hope to finish up by Wednesday and then plant these same fields to corn for silage. Will be a busy busy 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.
