Dear Bloggers,

Hello from Iowa and Picket Fence Creamery! THE SNOW IS MELTING!!! With temperatures anticipated in the 40s this week, our Jersey cows are sure to be giving lots of rich, delicious, creamy milk. Jeff will be bottling his famous Cookies 'n' Cream chocolate milk on Thursday night, just in time for the weekend. Also this week, in celebration of the sun and warm temps, we're running a special on our ribeye steaks....only $9.50 per pound! And, if you buy a package of steaks, you will receive $1 off your favorite bottle of Iowa wine. It doesn't get any better than this!

Around the farm.....let's see....all the calves are weaned now. We'll be starting the new calf crop in April...a sure sign of spring. And then it won't be long till the cows can get back outside again and start eating the sweet, green grass of spring. Have I mentioned spring yet???

Milker Dan is in Bolivia doing mission work, but we have a volunteer in Charlie, a vet, who just misses cows and stops by once in awhile in the evenings to help milk. Thanks Charlie!

Good night dear bloggers,
JB
