Dempsey is just dropping in to remind you to set those clocks back an hour!

Did setting the clocks back give you an extra hour or sleep, work, or being awake? ๐Ÿ˜†โฐ๏ธ๐Ÿฅฑ

We often get asked what type of hay feeder we use and how much hay we need for our Scottish Highlands to get through the winter.

We do not use a hay feeder. Some of you will *gasp* at that statement, but we have chosen this route for a number of reasons. We have seen too many cows, or calves, get hurt by the use of hay feeders. Horns are broken, small cows getting crushed, heads stuck, etc. We have found that if we roll out the hay in a few different lines, everyone has a chance to eat fairly without being bullied or hurt. When the weather is nice, we drag our fields to spread the manure and left over hay, creating lush pastures. Essentially, nothing is really wasted.

As for how much we feed during the winter. We try to take into account how many adults, how pregnant/nursing cows we have, and the quality of the hay. As a general rule, we calculate that they will consume approximately 2% of their body weight per day. Our cows avg. between 500-900lbs (900 is usually for a VERY pregnant mama), and we have just over 65 adult head, and right now, we have 27 calves on the ground.

Using those numbers, and as an example, we are averaging about 1 round bale (approximately 1,000 lb) of hay every day. Since we do rotational grazing and have lush pastures when the ground is not frozen or covered in snow, they tend to eat a bit less hay and enjoy the leftover grass.

This has been a dry summer, and we've had to start feeding hay 3 months earlier than usual. Thankfully, we only need to use it as a supplement, so 1 bale can last a bit longer than a day. However, we are gearing up to use approximately 180-200 bales of hay for the winter season! ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Hopefully, spring comes early next year. ๐Ÿคฃ

You will never feel courageous. Courage is a habit, not a feeling. Courage is being afraid, but saddling up anyway!

What is something courage you've done in your ?

Wills is an absolutely adorable micro mini Highland cross heifer! ๐Ÿ˜ She boasts a truly unique appearance that's sure to capture your heart. Her coloring is not only pretty but also exceptionally cool. In person, she's even more stunning and truly one-of-a-kind, being an incredibly tiny heifer. Wills would make the perfect addition to your pasture, like a cherished "pasture puppy."

These 3 have made it to their new home ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฎ
They travelled really well in the horse float (maybe they thought they were finally off to that show jumping event ๐Ÿ˜‚) and in true Abbey style, she had made 2 new friends within minutes of arriving. ๐Ÿ’ž They were dropped off with plenty of carrots, grapes and meal so their treat habit can be maintained ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ™ˆ and a brush to keep their hair looking it's best. I'm sure they are going to be well looked after.
