I shared in yesterday’s editorial board meeting that my great grandfather was a young man when his family left Belfast. I mentioned my family came from the Protestant side of the mounting religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants, so we wear orange on St Patrick’s Day. My mom followed up with the following:
“The Irish Civil War of the 1920s was "resolved " By a partition of the country Into 26 counties green and six northeast counties orange, under English rule.
This was unacceptable to many, which ultimately led to the Irish Republican Army and the terrorism of the 1970s against the English government, known as the Troubles. 30 years of urban guerrilla terrorism which was brought to an end in 1998 with the Good Friday accords.
John Black and family emigrated at the beginning of the Irish civil disturbances back in 1906 when he was 16 years old. Anne Murray Black and her husband, John Black , (Your great, great grandfather) left Belfast with six of their nine children (the ...
Honest question: did any of y’all know training a dairy cow to be milked can be really hard? I had NO CLUE what I was getting myself into with this one! I truly thought you could just walk up to any cow and they just let you milk them. What a journey this has been. If I charged for my labor per hour what I used to make in TV news, I’d be rolling in milk money by now.
I believe one day we will be milking Maisy. For now, I’m planning to stay the course, slow and steady. Until the day we get our first gallon, I’ll be getting my butter oil from the fermented cod liver blend at Green Pasture! I just went to the dentist yesterday and got a clear check up. No cavities.

A short clip from yesterday's show where Jared Bedke says starvation is likely in the near future. The USA beef herd is at its lowest since the 1950s as ranchers are selling off their breeding cows in large part due to drought. Bedke's family has been raising cattle in southern Idaho for several generations and he is predicting food shortages - not just beef - on the horizon. What do you think?
So if you're planning to stock up on steaks, make sure you protect your teeth with some fermented cod liver/butter oil from Green Pasture! I used to get chronic cavities and I started taking it - within months my dental health had improved and I stopped getting cavities. I was likely Vitamin D deficient.

We drove 90 minutes to Central Florida yesterday to go peach picking at a friend’s farm and then stopped to get feed and hay on the way home. We were gone all day, and the goats must have sensed something. They figured out a way to open the pasture gate and free themselves into the backyard, helping themselves to all of the hay and grass their bellies could hold.
it is a good thing. I take the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil blend from green pasture. As a 44-year old mom of littles, as well as goat wrangler, I need the energy from all the vitamins and omega 3s in it. The secret is in the sourcing and processing - wild fish and fermentation instead of high heat.
