On the Horizon

Spring is about green: grass growing, Christmas trees budding, maples and oaks and sycamores filling with leaves.

The llamas are ready to graze instead of eating hay. They see the horizon and stride toward it, eager for the next chapter. It is that time of year for new beginnings, after all.

But it takes a little bit of waiting: the grass is green, yes, but it still needs some time to grow so that the entire plant doesn’t disappear with a munch munch.

This Week on the Farm

“Waiting” is the word this week. It’s part of the ebb and flow of farming: waiting for corn to emerge, waiting for lambs to grow.

The feed in this trough is creep feed. The lambs have a special area their mothers can’t enter, and they receive special feed that helps them grow big and strong. Case in point: those horns on that little guy are already pretty impressive!
