What are we up to at Milk Pail Market?
With the first snow finally on the ground, we have all gone into winter mode! The cows enjoy cooler temperatures, nut maybe not this cool, haha! All of the cows are now living together and everyone gets along wonderfully.
Its breeding season! Time to get a few of our momma cows bred for calving next fall. We have a rotating breeding schedule so that we don't ever run out of milk, and so no one is dry at the same time. Keeping a consistent milk supply is something that's very important to us. Next on the list for breeding is Camille, Annie and Dolly. The babies, Saoirse and Ophelia will be next after that, but not until early summer 2025.
The ducks are done laying eggs for the season, and will start back up again in March. The chickens have slowed way down on their production, as we don't heat our coop or add artificial light. We allow the chickens to take a natural laying break while they molt. Production will pick up sometime early 2025.
We will be putting our meat bird order in soon, and if you would like to either order your meat birds to raise through us or order chickens for next year, please don't hesitate to reach out!
PASTURE RAISED POULTRY
Chicken is sold out for this year. If you want to guarantee chicken for next year, please reach out to pre order!! New batch of birds begin in March 2025.
THE COWS
0The girls have settled in together quite nicely. We have a few bred, and the next batch to be bred is Camille, Annie and Dolly. They will calve in the fall of 2025. Babies galore next year!
