Ready, Set, Go Ladies!

So everyone is clipped, kidding pens all clean, heat lights and heat pads all plugged in...so what's the problem?!? Well...it could, just maybe be mommies counting skills! lol!

But really...Storm was exposed on 9/10/2011 and is due to deliver between Feb. 4 and 7th. This is a special blessing for our farm due to Storm's illness last year that caused her to miscarry twice and lose her sight for 6 months. We weren't sure she would ever be able to breed again...but God had different plans! Ethyl Belle was exposed 9/4/2011 to Tobias so in all reality she should be good to go any day now. This will be her very first baby! She is such a sweet and precious little spirit! :)

Times are exciting here at Udder Joy Farms! Stay posted for upcoming babies! :0)

2nd Agri-Tourism Class

Yesterday was our 2nd Agri-Tourism Class. Gary and I were both able to attend together this time, which was really great! Met some amazing people. I just love hearing people tell about thier passions and dreams and I love meeting other people who dream as big as I do. We were blessed to sit among some wonderful people and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to their upcoming ventures.

We learned a ton and found out that we really aren't alone in this pursuit at all. There are all kinds of others just like us moving in the same direction and more importantly that there are people out there who desire to support and come along side us newbies. That is music to the ears when your doing what were doing!

One of the men we met has a Grade B sheep dairy in Caruthers and was interested in coming along side us during our pursuit for our Grade B. This license would allow us to produce and sell cheese and ice-cream. This would be a huge blessing to our farm. The cheese sales alone could boost us to a whole new level. So very exciting stuff...although Grade B permitting is a lot of funds and permits, but definitely reachable according to our new friend...Abe!

All in all a super great day! :)
