Surprise

I had to share the following photos! On Christmas Eve day when Dustin went to do chores he got a suprise! One of the ewes had twin ewe lambs!  We were very excited, although we didn't expect any lambs for at least another two weeks! See, before we sold "Rambo" we put him in with the ewes for two weeks, not really expecting "anything" but it looks like he did his thing!



The following photo shows the "rouge hen" that has taken to living with the lambs.  Even after trying to relocate her to the hen house, she keeps going down to the barn to mingle with the ewes!


The following photo I took in November, I came home from work one day to literally find the lambs grazing in my front lawn! Aparently my husband and hired man thought this would be a GREAT use of grass! Thanks guys!

Harvest 2012

We are off and going!  We officially started harvest 2012 last Thursday, September 20th.  So far, Dustin is "optimistic" about the harvest, as early yields are higher than he anticipated.  Here's hoping for a bountiful and safe harvest!

Having the two new bins is allowing our harvest to speed right along as we are no longer waiting for trucks!

Ready for SPRING

We are ready for spring at Johnson Family Farms!

Daddy brought in one of our "foster chicks" for the girls to look at.

We will hopefully have our own chicks in a month or two, but for now we are housing about 33 babies for a friend.

Family fun!

The girls and I headed out to take Dustin a milk shake after school!  We then rode a few rounds, went and picked up a pizza and had a corn field picnic! What a great end to a crazy week!

Rayna drank half of a vanilla milk shake!

Family Pictures

It has been a crazy few months with family vacations and school starting!  We were lucky enough to squeeze in some family pictures while the corn was still green!  My friend Suzie did a wonderful job.  All photos are by: Suzie Bell Photography and Design
