Happy Thanksgiving

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We spent the day with the boys and their families. Two new little granddaughters to spoil today. It was a fun day.

Hope all is well with you and yours.

Turkey

Hello everyone, it has been a very busy fall. I have seen and delivered probably 90% of the product to date. I have logged a lot of miles and have had a chance to say hi and visit with many of you. I love visiting with everyone.
I do need to get a second trip made up to the Detroit shareholders. I will be calling and setting that up real soon.

Also, Kalamazoo customers who have turkeys ordered. I will have them with me at the special Holiday Farmers Market at Texas Twp. Saturday , November 23rd. from 4 to 7PM. I will be in my usual spot.

Hope all is well with you and yours.

Growing Family

Hello everyone. It has been very busy since my last post. On October 19th. our second grandchild/granddaughter was born to Adam and his wife Becky.

All of the beef for individual shares has been taken in for processing. Everyone should have their beef within the next 3 weeks.

Pork will also be done soon.

Turkeys are growing better than last year and will be going in soon. So several of you may also see your turkey sooner than normal.

I always look forward to this time of the year because I get a chance to see and visit with all of our shareholders.

Hope all is well with you and yours. See you soon.

Fall Is In The Air

Hello everyone, hope all is well. I have been busy sorting and hauling cattle and pigs for processing. Many of you have started to get your orders filled and most beef and pork orders should be filled in the next 4 to 5 weeks. If you also have chicken ordered I add them to your order when I bring the beef or pork. Turkeys are doing a good job growing and will be ready soon.

Spent a good share of today repairing fence. The bull broke into the pasture I was keeping a group of young heifers (females) in.  This bull weighs in at about 1500 lbs. He squared off on me as I went to move him out of that pasture. Not a comfortable feeling when they do that. He obviously wasn't going to leave. Solution, I moved the heifers to a new field. Hope it works. Then I came up to the house and sorted beef for delivery.

Hope all is well with you and yours.

Fall Orders

Hello everyone. It has been very busy here on the farm since my last post. We have started to take animals in for processing, both beef and pork. As I mentioned before some of you may see beef before pork. Feel free to call if you have any questions. I will either call or email you as your product becomes ready.

We are hoping to get one more cutting of hay yet this year if weather and equipment cooperate.

Aaron, our youngest is getting married on the 21st., so I will not be back to Texas Twp. market until Sept. 28th.  I will be restocked with beef and Mangalitsa pork for that day. Also while I am thinking of it. I only have a few turkeys not spoken for yet, get your order in to me if you want one.

Josie, our new granddaughter is doing well. Mom and Dad seem to be a little short on sleep. Oh do I remember those days. We survived and so will they.

Hope all is well with you and yours.

A new Farm Girl has arrived

Well August 19th was a big day for Holly and I as we helped welcome into the world our first grandchild,  Josie. As we say here on the farm "She's a Keeper". Mom and baby seem to be doing well. She is the 1st. grandchild on both sides of the family, she's got it made.

Other news: I did not think I got scheduled for Texas Corners on August 31st., but I was informed that I did get that date after all. So I will see you in Kalamazoo on the 31st.

Hope all is well with you and yours.

Busy August

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.
