Dickson Simmental, Farm Report, Feb 23, 2012

Calving season is well under way on the Dickson Farm.  Looks like a heifer year for us thus far.  First 7 out of 8 born are heifers.  We have a lot of mud for them to run and jump in.  The ground has yet to freeze this winter and its almost March. 

Josh has been incubating chicken eggs for his science fair project.  He was lucky enough to hatch 13 of 20 eggs.  There isn’t 2 that look alike.

Dickson Simmental, Farm Report, Jan 18, 2012

We had our first calf of the season. A nice 72lb heifer from a first calf heifer DSC Jewels Legend x Sand Ranch Hand.  2 other cows are several days over due, but they are looking close.

I took a picture at one of the farms last Sunday while checking the cows.  It was a nice snowy view.

The second wetland is filling up quite nicely.  It looks great thanks the the US fish and wildlife service for providing the knowledge and funding for the wonderful wildlife habitat projects.
