August is going to be a very busy month for the Hiday Farm and family. I will be at the Texas Corners market on August 3rd. and 17th. Some of the cattle are approaching butcher size and we are trying to get processing dates arranged. Some of you may see beef before the pork. And in between all of this, Holly and I are expecting our first grandchild. And I still have 30 or so acres of hay to get up.
Oh well, that's life. We just keep moving and usually things seem to fall in place.
Hope all is well with you and yours.

Hello
Hello everyone. I know you all thought I fell off the side of the earth. But no I didn't, just been very busy and lazy with the blog updates. SORRY.
Everything seems to be moving forward with the Hiday's and the Hiday Farm.
Alex the oldest son purchased a farm down the road from us. Have been busy helping him get it up to snuff.
Cattle, pigs and chickens all growing and getting ready for your freezer.
I will try to do a better job of keeping the blog up to date.
Hope all is well with you and yours.

Snow
Hello everyone, I don't know about you but we have several inches of snow on the ground. That is O.K. for now, we need the moisture.
Our hay supply is going to come down to how soon we see spring grass. I have enough to get us to about april 10th. If we don't have grass by then we will have to buy more hay.
I have been working on the 2013 order forms and they should be in the mail soon. Get them back to us as soon as you can.
We have had an error with our hidayfarm.com store and have changed it to hidayfarms.com
Hope all is well with you and yours.

2013
Hey! maybe this is going to work now. I have been spending the last few months in tech limbo.
Sorry for the long absence, hope all is well with everyone. As I am sure most of you know, we ran a little behind this year on getting cattle ready for market, Thanks to the drought and a lack of grass. We are concerned about 2013. You may not realize it because of the cold weather, but we are still in a drought. Only time will tell on how 2013 will be. We are trying to make plans to try to get us through another dry year, but in all honesty, it will be hard to survive another year like last year. We will keep saying our prayers and hope for the best.
Hope all is well with you and yours

OPEN HOUSE
Hello everyone this is Aaron.
Dad is having problems with the internet at home, so I'm posting for him from school. There are a couple of things to tell you all about.
First - The Hiday Farm annual open house is Sunday, October 14th, from 2-4PM. RAIN or SHINE! No RSVP required. Call if you need directions, 517-765-2268. The farm is also easy to find using mapquest or google maps.
Our address is:
2948 12 Mile Rd.
Burlington, MI 49029
Second - After three years of trying, we finally found an excellent sausage maker. We now have summer sausages and snack sticks made from Hiday Farm meats (including our special Mangalitsa pork). They will be available for online purchase soon at www.hidayfarm.com/.

BOLD -- MANGALITSA
Last night was the debut of our Mangalitsa pork. BOLD in Kalamazoo had a special dinner featuring a Mangalitsa pig from the Hiday Farm. Chef Andy did a superb job, everything was great. My thanks go out to Shane and Andy for taking a chance on something new and for all those who took part in the event.
We will have product with us at the market.
Other good news: RAIN. We finally got a little rain and we are starting to see a little green again. But beef will still be lagging behind compared to years past.
See you soon.

HOT and DRY
A couple of important items to make you aware of.
First: We have a couple of new confirmed dates for the Texas Twp. Market. They are JUNE 30th. and JULY 28th.
SECOND: We are in a Drought situation here at the Hiday Farm and some of the steers we expected to use this season may not make weight by fall. This mean LESS animals to work with and Smaller animals. So I expect to run out of beef shares and shares will most likely be on the smaller side. Get orders in soon to be assured of getting beef this year.
