Slavik Farms: New Additions

My first baby of the year was born February 6. I went home this weekend to see it. It is fuzzy and very healthy!! He was running around when I went out to the barn Saturday afternoon.

This is our new beef barn!! We have pens on the left side, and are able to store our farm machinery on the right half of the barn. It is really nice to have a barn separately for our beef cows.
This a picture of our new lagoon (aka poop pond). As our farm is increasing in size, we need a place to store the manure from the cows. We can't always apply manure to all of the fields all of the time over the course of the year, so we need to have a place to store it.

This is a picture of our new milking parlor. We converted our tie-stall barn into this system. We are able to milk, quicker and more efficiently while producing an even better quality product!

Things are rapidly changing at home - too bad I have to miss out on some of this, being at school most of the time :(
