Old, Old picture of the shop at the farm. This no longer exists, and
a very large machine shed is in it's place. This shop was falling apart
when my dad bought the place already, but it still was hard to see it
go. |
The twin towers. Two of my father's three silos can be seen in
this picture. I've had to climb them more times then I can
count, and matt and I actually shot clay pigeons off the top of this. A lot
of real live pigeons claim residency here, and a lot of them have lost
their lives on their exit. |
A resident of Silvermist Dairy. This calf is about 4 weeks old. Within one
year of this picture, it'll be producing milk and making money for the
organization. A healthy diet and plenty of exercises with help this female
grow into quite a profitable animal. Genetics is the most important factor though. |
John Deere 4440 tractor. A nice vehicle, but on the old side. It's hooked up
to a forage bagger. We unload wagons full of feed fresh from the fields, and let it
ferment in this bag for a few weeks, then open it up and the cows get to enjoy our
recipe. This is how you cook for almost 100 animals. |
