Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! 

Harvest of 2014 is done on the Blair Farm.  We finished up on the 8th of November.  All in all, harvest went well for us.  It seemed long.  We started on the 29th-30th of September and were completely finished by the 8th of November.  Not too much different than last year (started on September 27 and finished on November 3rd)! 

It snowed shortly after harvest was complete, so we weren't able to do any strip-tillage.  Next spring, I'll share that process with you.  

Prior to the snow we did get some cornstalks baled for our cattle.

We moved cattle from the pasture onto cornstalks.  This was the field that had turnips and rye on it.  There wasn't a TON of cover crop there when we put the cattle on the stalks, but they still seem pretty happy!

The beef calves were sold (these were the calves that were in the pasture all year).  The kids got to skip out of daycare to go with Dad :)  

I won't share a picture of paperwork, because it's just not that fun!  

Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!  
Love, 
The Blairs

Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving! I have a lot to be thankful for. Everything I've been given and work for is worth giving thanks.

   My family: they continue to teach me life lessons and love me every day.

   My friends: they are wonderful and will always be there for me.

   My husband: my best friend.

   My children: the love of my life, forever.

   My faith: which was formed and proven by all of those above.

Another thing that I am very thankful for this holiday season is the fact that I have a safe food source to choose from every day. I live in a place where I don't have any insecurities about the food I buy.

I am for my life. Happy Thanksgiving to you all, and remember to give thanks to Him:

   "for in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and    invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities -- all things were created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together." -Colossians 1:16-17
