The first day of summer wasn’t very sunny but the little calves still needed an afternoon nap on a lazy day of summer before making the hike back across the pasture.

While looking out on a sea of white snow it, it is hard to believe that some Aprils on this date are green with trees leafing out. Instead of cows grazing on green grass, they are still eating hay which is causing a shortage for some farmers due to the extended winter season.

“On the Eighth Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me Eight Maids a-Milking.” I don’t think any wise maid milk would stick around during a Wisconsin winter to milk a herd of cows when the highs will be below zero. Of course technology has changed the way cows are milked with even robots do the milking, and while the machine might breakdown occasionally, they don’t call in sick from a New Year Eve hangover!
