Catie's Lamb


Catie and her market lamb. Catie also has a dairy and her own vineyard (Catie's Corner). She is always busy with her Mom going to dairy shows and working in the family vineyards.

Davis' New Heifer






Davis picked up his long awaited dairy replacement heifer on Saturday after the Rose Parade. We had a very nice, winding ride to the Kehoe Dairy in Inverness (good thing none of us get car sick!). The Kehoe Dairy is a family run dairy off of Pierce Point Rd.

Tim Kehoe said the weather in Inverness makes for very "Happy Cows". I can believe it! It was much cooler than our Santa Rosa weather.

Thank you Kehoe Dairy for providing Davis with his dairy replacement heifer. He looks forward to showing her at the upcoming fairs for the next couple of years.

2008 Sonoma County Rose Parade







The Sonoma County Farm Bureau put together a beautiful float for the 2008 Rose Parade. It was built with real grass and real farm animals.

On board were youth from Sonoma County 4-H clubs and their livestock. There were 2 dairy replacement heifers, 1 very large rabbit named "Dog", 4 Hampshire piglets and 1 lamb.

It was a very beautiful day for a parade, and the kids had a great time!

Thank you Sonoma County Farm Bureau for including us in this exciting parade!
