Helmhaven Farm

Talk about being long as a train. This new monster really could be a hulk In the making.

Trying to be positive on this beautiful day before Thursday and Friday's mess comes so I'll be excited about Carla an Adam-red daughter that probably won't make... it to her April 10th due date to sexed hulk-p red. Not only hoping for a red calf but for her to see the classifier next month. The way she looks ready to rock she should improve on her first score of 86. See more

So how's your day going? This is not what I meant by putting a bucket of manure in the spreader

Hey guys I know this is short notice but I've got a red Angus going in this week and he needs to find a nice cold freezer or two to call his new home 3.50/lb ha...nging weight. Next steers to be up won't be untill may/ June. If you've been looking for beef sticks we will be restocking the Chateaugay and tri-town IGAs ( and I think Madrid), Wendy's, Burke farm supply, St Regis store, Midway market and now the chateaugay co-op by the end of this week.

Her dam will be re-scored in April and I'm expecting points as she matures. This calf is long and super aggressive

Milking #5 this 3yr old may have to find a winter home to properly peak.

What a long night.... I certainly didn't expect this monster ( it's actually a heifer) or to have to put her mother's uterus back in her. Yea it prolapsed aka c...ame out. Luckily I got Karen Ann to help with her and my vet Lila to check her over, give her some calcium and antibiotics. Another situation that if it had been just left to mother nature it would have been certain death for mother and probably the same fate for the calf. Good thing was as soon as Ilona the cow was let off the halter she went right to a round bale and started eating. As you can see the calf is going to spend the night in the milkhouse instead of out in the cold. See more

One of the few holsteins I'm keeping is this 2nd calf airlift that calves this morning. Super excited for this one.

8 days until a former jr champion at expo sells at the Top of the State Production Sale!!! Wala premier Mistee excellent 90. After having calves by Joel and Me...mory it's time to find her a new home since we can't rebuild a barn before winter. Just serviced to Denmark-p there will be plenty of time to ivf and get eggs from a champion. Sale will be on cowbuyer.com

What a great day classifying for us. Futurama Redburst Hazel-red was raised to ex 92 and Cedarcreek destiny an aftershock daughter was made excellent 90 Ten... others were raised or made very good (13 total) and only one heifer was put at 79 and was 10 months in. For our 3rd time scoring these 34 I was pretty happy. More breakdowns to come as we put things together for the sale. See more
