Dairy facility drain  -  Josh

The dairy facility required a dairy nutrient management plan completed and improvements made within 6 months of start of operations (in November for us). Our conservation district should have taken care of this, working with WSDA, but after many emails, we just built it without a plan, with verbal approval from our WSDA person.  Thank you DAD! This went so smoothly. We tied the facility into this, and let the storm water go further down the hill into rock.

Barn concrete  -  Josh

Breaking thick concrete with an excavator is better than trying to cut it up! Just pick up a side and it will crack, then pick up the chunk and drop it. Big bang, then movable pieces appear. Simple... unless its a foot thick.

Riding (Dwarf) Samwise Gamgee  -  Josh

Samwise,  born to Quinta, didn't grow, even with 3 gallons per day of milk for several months.  But the kids did have fun riding the stocky little calf. Here he is almost 5 months old.

Barn plan complete and sent to engineer  -  Josh

5/17/2022

0 Comments

 
Submitted to the engineer in Spokane on May 17th, he got stamped drawings back to us July 16, approximately 6 weeks after the promised target. This delay preceded getting quotes for materials. When the $41,000 in quotes were in hand early August, we made the executive decision that it was going to be too expensive, after excavation, rock, drain tile, plumbing, power, etc.  So we postponed the barn until 2023. We will have the site ready and the drawings in hand. Hopefully building material prices will continue to drop (went from $47 to $21 per sheet of OSB in this time period).

Health Recovery Center booth trailer  -  Josh

With Josh's mom coming for a month of milk only diet, she needed a soaker tub to complete the protocol described in this book. We got a full sized tub on Craigslist, and bought this trailer from a local. Some minimum flooring, and we were busy at work. Then we got rained out for a month, and she went home.... Maybe next year

Finally got the flooring glued on July 25th. Then tarped it for storage until next year with all the parts to finish the project.

Feliz's shocking production -  Josh

At 8 years old, we expected her to calve last April, but to our dismay she had miscarried after a positive pregnancy test. We kept her anyway because she was such a good cow.
This year she calved a half-Jersey future replacement Ultima, and was producing between 6 and 7 gallons a day on hay. - to us, that's a lot on hay. Then after a few days on pasture, she produced 6 gallons IN ONE MORNING! That peak day, she produced 10.7 gallons.
This is Ash milking her this morning when she gave 5.7 gallons. I was curious, what does an udder look like when it has almost 6 gallons in it?
