Spring has returned. The cows and sheep are on lush green pasture and are very happy. We had our first calf born a couple of days ago. Mother and baby seem to be doing well. We anticipate another 35 or so more calves. We always enjoy this time of year. 
We bought chicks a few weeks ago. We bought both meat and laying chicks. They have to have warmth and protection at first so are still under heat lamps but as soon as they get bigger and have feathers and decent Michigan weather they will be put outside. 
We are busy taking care of the fencing and pastures for the cattle to be able to graze. There are always branches and bigger limbs that fall on fencing so those need to be found and removed. Big thistle needs to be removed. Brett is pleased with a new flame thrower tool he just got to take care of the thistle without poisons. 

We sell at the new Argus Farm Stop store in Ann Arbor.  They are located at 325 West Liberty in the Old West Side neighborhood. Their website is www.argusfarmstop.com

The Chelsea Bushel Basket Market has ended but the Chelsea Winter Market begins Saturday November 8th. That market is at the Educational Center on Washington in what was the old Chelsea High School. The best way to the market is right on Freer Road when coming from from Old Us 12 and then left to the Educational Center which was the old Chelsea High School. We will be inside for the following Saturdays until the 19th of December. Grass fed beef is available now and a few dozen eggs. We hope to have more lamb  in December.
