  Winter Chores

  Posted on January 6, 2014 by Mike Haley in #AgChat, Agvocate, Cattle, Farm, livestock care

  Today was cold.  Despite the fidget temperatures and working outside for most of the day I have managed to stay comfortably warm by wearing layers of clothes and of course taking a couple breaks to warm back up. Weighing on my mind all day was the fact that the temperatures are supposed to get even […]

  Visitors On The Farm, Oh My!

  Posted on November 30, 2011 by Mike Haley in #AgChat, Agvocate, Cattle, Farm, farm photos, livestock care
