Hi, I'm Sara Mast... but you should already know that!
I am a young adult who recently married my best friend-- Mitchell. That's kind of the point of this blog... because Mitchell is a dairy farmer. It's a harder life than most people's, but a life I wouldn't trade for anything.
On our farm, we milk registered Holsteins. We have two milking barns-- both are tie stall barns (I will probably have pictures of this style barn sometime). We milk between 180-200 cows between the farms, have around 200 replacement heifers, and keep 15-20 bulls onsite to use as herd bulls. We also harvest all of our own feed-- farming over 700 acres. On top of that, we raise a menagerie of other animals-- from dogs to chickens to turkeys to pigs.
We are a fully family-run farm and enjoy living and working together with family.
Mitchell and I personally own 2 milking cows, 1 bred heifer, 2 heifer calves, 2 bull calves, 6 chickens, 1 dog, and 2 puppies.
I hope you enjoy this!
