Guess the Weather!

Can you believe it? More snow today! Except for a few days reprieve when we pumped out the holes, we’ve had ground fully covered with snow since early December. Michelle Bessette said that February traditionally sees the coldest, most stormy weather, but I hoped she exaggerated. So far, the string of storms proves her correct.

On the Milking Devon website, I found a listing for bulls for sale, with bred cows. Shrewdly, the man will not sell a bred cow only. If we buy a bull, he will let us buy a bred heifer.

The man needs to downsize his herd (from a magazine article I found about him, he’s pushing 80!). He’s willing to deliver—and he lives less than two hours away. As a true farmer, he requested interested parties call before 6am, or between 6 and 7pm. We are not true farmers and prefer not to be awake in the hours before 6am, so Phil called this evening. We hope the snow subsides and we can visit next week.
