Spring Start Up

Hello everybody.  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  This spring we got some more animals.  The usual stuff like chickens and turkeys and such.  We also got a new cow that we named Mocha because she is whitish/grey.  She is giving us between 2 and 3 gallons a day and we are only miking her once in the morning!  I also got a beehive in mid May from a beekeeper that is training me (he also takes care of Lavender Fields Farm's honeybees). We mainly got them to help pollinate the garden and to harvest honey from in the fall. Also just for the fun of honeybees.
Building the stantion to milk mocha in.
P.S. She doesn't like to stand on concreate so we can't get her in it!

Is it safe out there?

The fun truck ride back to the house.  Why is every body so concerned? >
Hint: Dad
Okay swich the subject now to bees.  I got my honeybees on a Saturday and we blocked the entrance so they
didn't fly around in the car when transporting them to our house.  Then on Sunday morning I took off the mesh stuff
so they could start pollinating.
