Spring
When temperatures warm up and nature thrives;
When sleep eludes, yet energy abounds;
Everywhere, the miracle of life can be found.
Calving season starts suddenly one day,
Then wraps up quietly, before you’re onto the next season: HAY!
Here’s to hoping your calving season is going well, and is a beacon of the good things ahead in the coming year!
May your bottom line be filled with Black Ink,
Miranda

“I wish I could just move west and buy a ranch.” It’s something I’ve heard my dad mutter for years. He’s been around agriculture all his life, stacking hay as a teen and raising Hereford steers for the freezer as an adult. But Maryland is not big country. These days, he’s living vicariously through his three daughters’ 4-H projects and FFA events (and my internship here at CAB of course).
