Feeding the Yearling Cattle... from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

When you step out our front door...

this is the view:

Just beyond the yard fence

are the yearling cattle...

The calves are weaned each November,

then we bring them here to our home place.

We like to keep them close by so

we can keep an eye on them.

They are fed each morning

and I enjoy watching them eat...

These are two yearling heifers...

Golden Delicious and Abigail

They will become replacement heifers

for our herd next year.

Calving Season...2023 from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

This is one of our newborn bull calves...

I call him.....Chip

He's a chip off the old block:

He looks just like his mama !

We have several mama and baby look-a-likes

out in the field....FUN !

The first thing each morning,

we check on the expectant mama cows.

Then we begin feeding all of the cattle:

We feed in 6 different locations,

several miles apart.

This picture was taken just across the river

from our home place...

You can see our red barn in the distance.

Dutch Flower Quilt Block Video Tutorial from Patchwork Posse

Learn how to sew and construct the Dutch Flower quilt block.

Download the materials list and full pdf inside the IAQ here.

This month we will be focusing on the first corner blocks around the center flower block.

These are pretty simple to construct, but you’ll want to keep you eye on using good contrasting pieces from the three fabrics used in the rail fence section to the background fabric.

Play around with your fabric and audition some combinations before you decide.

*also note, when I made the video I didn’t catch that center block out of place ...
