A quick schedule reminder for this weekend! 💜

We have another busy cattle-show weekend ahead, so our schedule looks a little different.

🏪 FARM STORE
Friday | Open until 3:30 PM
Saturday | CLOSED

🌽 SATURDAY FARMERS MARKETS
📍 Ames — We will NOT be there
📍 Clear Lake — We will NOT be there

But you can still stock the freezer from home! 🥩 Our online store is always open, and we’ll be back to our regular schedule next week.

Thank you for understanding when farm life and cattle shows take us away for a weekend. We appreciate you continuing to support our family farm through all the seasons. 💜

A new season. 💜

This past week felt like one of those weeks where summer and fall seem to meet.

School started, which means our evenings now include washing heifers after school and work as we prepare for the Minnesota State Fair. We had a BIG beef restock, finally started trialing our long-awaited cooking tallow, and have been soaking in some beautiful sunrises and sunsets as the days slowly get shorter.

And this morning? Things are starting just a little slower.

Rylan is in the kitchen making coffee cake while we catch up on computer work and prepare for another busy week—shipping orders, moving cattle to new pastures, filling orders, and ending the week back in the show ring.

In the middle of all the busy, Sunday mornings are a good reminder to stop and be thankful for what fills our days—the work, the opportunities, the people beside us, and the beauty God puts right in front of us.

“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalm 118:24

Here’s to soaking in a slower Sunday morning before another full week begins. 💜

Back home. 💜

After a full couple of days at the Iowa State Fair, we’re home with a lot of memories to be thankful for—and were greeted this morning with a pretty beautiful reminder of why we love where we live.

Early fall calving has begun, the mornings are starting to feel a little different, and there’s something special about watching a new calf beside its mama with an Iowa sunrise in the background. 🌅🐮

There is plenty waiting for us as we get back into our regular routine, but this morning we’re simply thankful.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” — Psalm 19:1

Happy Sunday from our family farm. 💜
