Our last boil was truly on Easter and we had been holding out for one more run, but it is like someone turned off the faucet. No sap since March 27. So, now we start the process of cleaning the tubing in the woods and the equipment in the sugarhouse.
As with other farmers, we move onto other activities. Our first beef calves of the year were born yesterday. Here is a new heifer. She is 1 day old and getting use to the noises in the barn, the other cows and a new calf in the pen next to her. Soon, they will be all over the barn and kicking up their heels.
