With the fall semester over and the elementary students on break, it’s been a particularly quiet time on this farm. In fact, there have been a few days when the total population of people on the Neck is one or two or three, meaning that the quantity of cows on the farm definitely outnumbers the humans around here. Despite the inevitably slower pace and fewer hands with opposable thumbs, the cows still need milking and everyone’s bellowing, squealing, or clucking for food as the snow rolls in and the temperatures plummet. Here are a few photos from the past few days.
