Yes, you can seed clover in the snow! With the snow and ice over the last week, we have been frost seeding clover into our pastures. Frost seeding is the process of broadcast seeding on existing pastures in late winter/early spring when the ground is still frozen. The freezing and thawing of the ground, plus the rainy spring, allow the seeds to germinate and take hold in the ground for stronger pastures this spring.
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.
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.
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.
