Great Time
I had a great time on Tuesday up at the Eastern Market. It is always enjoyable to see old friends and making new ones. We will plan on being back soon.
Well, September is upon us. Pigs and cattle are growing. We will start processing in October and November. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call.
See you soon.

Eastern Market
Just a quick note to let you know we will be at the Eastern Market today from 11am to 7pm. They have a Tuesday market now and we will be in shed 2. Sorry for the late notice I do not know where my mind was. I should have posted this a few days ago. Also, for now we have stopped participating in the Lunasa market.

BABIES, BABIES and more BABIES
The last few weeks have been very active here at the Hiday Farm. On July 19th. one of the two sows that made the cross-country trip with me gave birth to a nice litter of little piglets. We named the sow Louise. Then on July 29th., Thelma (that's the name we gave the other sow) gave birth to her litter of little piglets. We have had a lot of animals born on this farm, but this is our first time with newborn pigs.
Then on July 31st. one of two cows yet to calve this year had her calf and the next day the last cow to calve had her calf. All 16 cows have now calved.
Hope all is well with you and your families.

HELLO EVERYONE
From the looks of our blog you would think the Hiday Family has dropped off the face of the earth. NO we haven't, but it has been a very busy summer with so much to talk about I will need a long time to catch you up on everything. I will give you a short tidbit for now. Last week Holly and I made a cross-country trip to pick up two very special girls. We purchased two rare and exotic pigs that are suppose to produce a meat that is out of this world for taste. Both are expecting and we are hoping for some babies any time now.
I will keep you posted and hope to get back on here soon with pictures and the story of Holly and I hauling two bred 350lb pigs half way across the U.S. in 91 degree weather. A trip to remember. And on that note a special Thank You to our new friend Pat, who helped us on our way home. We couldn't have made it without your help.
Talk with you soon.

Sunshine
The month of May shot by and I never got a post up on the blog to keep you up to date. Things have been very busy. It has been hard to get work done in the fields in between the rains.The grass has been growing tall and the cattle are loving it.
We have made a huge change in our beef genetics for the future of our herd. We have always tried to be ahead of the curve. We were grass farmers long before most people understood its benfits. This spring we purchased a new bull. We feel he will bring a genetic trait to our beef that will make our beef a little more tender along with being a lot healthier beef to consume. His origin is from Italy and his breed is named Piedmontese. Look up his benefits or stay posted and I will fill you in later.
Remember Detroit customers you can find our product at Kim's Produce on Woodward Ave.

What a Day
Amazing weather today. It was a great day to work on cleaning out the barn. I got a lot done, but a lot more needs to be done.
Sorry it has been a while since I last posted any updates for you. It has been a busy spring so far. We now have seven new calves and many more yet to come. We also have a 100 chicks started. Pigs will be coming soon along with some ducks.
Now and then I get feedback that yuou would like a little more personal tid bits on the Hiday family. Many of you know my sons Alex, Adam and Aaron. Well for those of you who want some family updates: Alex is now working in Kalamazoo using his engineering degree. Adam will be graduating from college on May 7th and will be working at the hospital while waiting to get into PA school. Aaron is finishing his sophmore year of college and will spend his summer working on a summer internship/research project. Yes it looks like the Old Man is going to be on his own a lot.
Hope all is well with you and your family.
