http://amazinggracedairy.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 20, 2012. November 2012 Cows for Sale - SOLD (for the most part). We are asking $850 an animal. We will not sell cows to those who have no experience milking and caring for cattle.

Amazing Grace Dairy: Our Dairy
http://amazinggracedairy.blogspot.com/p/our-dairy.html
Our first animals on the farm were our 12 heifers that were born in the spring of 2009. They were about 5 months old when we brought them here. Our first animals to arrive on the farm! Our cows when they first set foot on the farm. One cold day in January. My father-in-law used to have 100% registered Ayrshire herd, that was started by his father, I think. This is where the strong Ayrshire influence comes from. We now milk his cows and he raises our heifers once they are weaned. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Amazing Grace Dairy: October 2012

Tuesday, October 9, 2012. A Farmer's Perspective on Looking For a Farm to Buy Milk. I recently read a post. Now what I would look for if I had to find a farmer to buy milk from is this: 1. like you said, grass fed cows. 2 I wouldn't be against buying milk from a farm who fed their cows some grain provided it is non-GMO and it is not a large part of their diet. Ask to look at the milking units. Can you see lots of dried manure on them? How often is it cleaned? How often does he test for it? And just to ad...

Amazing Grace Dairy: September 2012

Wednesday, September 26, 2012. Conception Rates for Different Breeds. In PC Dart (our computer program) we have our cows separated out into different groups based on their breeds. I will admit that some bull bred cows and many of our purchased cows were guesses based on what they looked like and what group of bulls we knew to be running with the cows at that time, but for the most part I feel that I am fairly accurate. Okay, so back to group #1 - the Ayrshires. With our first service conception rate bein...

Amazing Grace Dairy: Our Pets
http://amazinggracedairy.blogspot.com/p/our-pets.html
Since our "pets" will probably end up being referred to and sometimes featured in the blog posts, I figure I might as well introduce them properly. Our first and most important pet (according to my husband):. My husband named her- and, NO he will not be allowed to. Name our future children if this trend continues (grin). Tubby is a Normande/Ayrshire Cross and granted, my husband had. Good reason to name her what he did, but still. Bandit - isn't he cute? He is a husky/samoya mix. The Dairy Crossbred Blog.

Amazing Grace Dairy: February 2013
http://amazinggracedairy.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 3, 2013. Well, we are drying up the cows. We usually have one to two dry up sessions per week, but the end is in site. I think Tuesday will be our final day of shipping milk. Our milk truck driver will come on Wednesday early in the morning and that will be it! Well, that is all for now. Blessings to each of you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Friday, October 18, 2013. Looking Back - A Summary of Percent of the Herd Bred. It has been a month since I posted anything. Time seems to have sped up as of late. We had our final pregnancy checks on the heifers in mid-September and on the cows at the beginning of October. I have a lot of information that I am hoping to share so long as I am able to find time to sit down long enough to share it! Here is a table which summarizes our information. As for the calves-. In 2011 we had one calf that I did not ...
