That’s a “wrap” for 2026 hay season. What a year. Not quite 500 round bales. Started off weak in the drought and ended strong with plenty of hay. I was just determined to get finished up before November 🤪 and just in time to start feeding it to all the critters.

“I don’t know how to cook cube steak”

Cooking cube steak takes a little effort. This cut of meat comes from the Round of the cow which is very lean. Round steaks are mechanically tenderized to thin slices to make it less tough which is what we call cube steak. When cooked right it makes some good southern comfort food.

I know of two ways to cook cube steak. Either “chicken fried” and smothered in sawmill gravy or lightly browned and smothered in brown gravy 😅

We decided to do the brown gravy method:

Pat the cube steaks dry and season both sides with the salt and pepper. I like to add some Italian seasoning along with garlic powder.

Put the flour in a shallow dish. Pat each steak in the flour, pressing lightly and shaking off the excess.

Heat some olive oil in your skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Sear the steaks 3 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Move the steaks to a plate.

Lower the heat to medium. Add a couple tablespoons of real butter and sliced onion to the same skillet and cook for 5 min, until golden, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom.

Sprinkle a packet of brown gravy mix and a cup of water over the onions and stir constantly for 1 minute.

Bring gravy to a simmer and let it start to thicken.

Slop the steaks back into the gravy along with any juices from the plate. Cover, and simmer on low for 15-20 minutes or until the steaks are cooked through.

Taste the gravy, add pepper or extra salt if needed and serve over mashed potatoes or rice.

Calves dropping left and right today in the maternity ward! Four in about 12 hours, and we had to assist with one case of dystocia. Calves’ proper presentation during birth is what I call the “Superman pose” with front legs straight out followed by their head and shoulders. So during the process, the first thing to always look for are two front hooves. If you can’t count two before you see the head then it’s time to get to work! Today, I realized our red cow was only presenting one hoof and after a cow’s water breaks, the clock starts ticking to get the calf delivered alive. When we hit the two hour mark, it was my queue to ease her in the squeeze chute, roll up my sleeves, re-position the calf’s head, fish out the other leg and start to pull. After some cussing and help from Shaun we got the big fella out, dried off and with his mama. I’m going to add “midwife” to the list of jobs it takes to be a farmer. 😅

Calving season has started! Three born over the last couple of days. I had a feeling the change in the weather was going to get it started. If you have bred cows you can almost guarantee they are going to pick a day full of rain and thunderstorms to drop a calf 😅

This is Pearl and her calf. She’s a Charolais cow (French Breed) and one of the very few non-black Angus cows on the farm. Pearl does not like the Man in the Hat taking her picture. She thinks he should drop the artsy photography and stick to his paid job of bringing her feed.

Pearl is special because she was the first “outsider” cow we brought into the herd. She’s from Loris and her government name is Ivory but we think she looks more like a Pearl.

Our chickens are not free-range but they do get moved to fresh pasture every few days! Here is a short clip our little camera man took of the process. 🤣 🐓

We’re starting to get dry again but thankful for the rain we were getting! Now we have have a great stockpile of grass and the cows are “belly deep”!
The only solar panels on this land are the millions of little grass leaves capturing the sun’s rays to produce energy and our 1300 pound glorified lawn mowers with four legs, use the energy from those solar panels to grow and develop. We’re simply taking sunshine, rain and grass and turning it into tasty, nutritious beef. What a sight and what a magnificent beast. Turn up the volume to hear the quiet.
