I'm a plow boy | The Richard Mason Show

Yeah I'm a plowboy, I ain't no city boy, Oh, I was born with dirty hands...well not technically, but soon after that, I got dirt on my hands and my Mommy had to teach me how to wash my hands. Anyways, here's this week's video. Enjoy!

A Beautiful Fall Day

Caramel grazing next to the hay pasture.

 I just wanted to put up a blog post to share with you some photos that I took right here on Clover Creek Farm! It was a beautiful fall day and the leaves hadn't all fallen yet. The mountains were in an array of shades of green, red, orange, and browns. The neighbors (who are our next of kin) had just finished baling their hay. Caramel, our jersey milk cow was out grazing and lazily acknowledged my presence. She could have cared less as I snapped picture after picture. Anyways, here are my favorite pictures. Enjoy!

I thought this picture was a lost cause with the sunlight's glare
but my computer editing program made me see it differently!

Hay. It's cow food!

I think it's worthy of a frame!

Clover Creek Farm Commercial--Richard Mason Show

Here is a video I made of Dad and my brother working in the hay. It's almost got the feel of a commercial! As a matter of face, thats what I'll call it...a Clover Creek Farm Commercial. What do you think?
Watch until the end and give me thumbs up for the huge fail!

Feeding the calf--Richard Mason Show

So our most recent calf to be born on Clover Creek Farm is an angus/jersey cross. We feed him twice daily after each milking. During the middle of the day, he grazes grass. I'm surprised he picked it up so quickly, most of our calves don't learn how to graze so soon after being born, but I'm glad he did learn because it will cause him to grow much faster.

Putting up the high tunnel hoops--Richard Mason Show

During this step of our high tunnel, Dad and I raise the hoops into place. Now we're getting somewhere!!!

Working like John Henry--Richard Mason Show

After grading the construction site, Dad and I sink 2" posts into the ground. You can't see it, but there is a plumb line stretched out that tells me when to stop pounding. Dad is seen using his level to make sure that the posts are being put in straight. Driving these posts made me feel like I was John Henry a working on the railroad!!! LOL!
