The winter of 2024 was extremely mild. We had a few days of really cold weather, but it was nothing like the previous years.
This year, our hay supply has been so much better than before. During the drought of 2022 and 2023, we struggled with poor-quality, weed-filled hay. However, we changed suppliers, and now the quality is almost as good as horse hay—yay!
Having grandsons help with the hay makes it even more special. Teaching them how to drive a mule has been so much fun—yikes!
Starting 2025 is already shaping up to be a great year. We are seeing a surge in fullblood females and shipping a load to the Midwest and the Southeast to Wagyu breeders.
