Turkeys have adapted nicely to twice daily pasture moves. They are almost ready to transition to day ranging.

Busy past couple of weeks on the farm. Got our first round of beef back from the locker for the year, took our second round into the locker, started a batch of new layers (Sapphire Orpingtons), moved the cattle herd to the south farm for the summer and early fall, and stumbled into a deal on started turkeys so we are definitely raising them again this year and they are already outside in a pasture pen.

Ryan was on the local news talking about egg prices last night! Hopefully this link behaves…

"We're short of eggs in the market; that's why prices are high. At the same time, too, we're short of eggs to rebuild the flock," said an ISU professor.

They grow-up so fast. Almost three weeks old and close to being able to move outside to a portable pen.

By some miracle I single handedly moved the cows across the crop fields, down the road, and into my Uncle’s pasture that connects to our home farm. They broke into two groups. The first came to my calling and followed me slowly all the way along the path and down the road. The second followed the others a bit of the way but got distracted at a grassy waterway. I had to dislodge them and push them across the field which was the hard part. Once they could hear the other group of cattle and I got them out onto the road, they made good time going down the gravel. I am honestly still surprised it worked. I wouldn’t bet on repeating it, but it the cattle were cooperative and it worked today.
