| By the spring of 2006 we had purchased five more cows from the
same dairy in Idaho and were raising our first batch of calves. Our plans to build a small grade A milking
facility were superceeded by the need to provide more shelter for the cows and calves. We decided to just
add on to the
end of the original two stall shed. One end for the calves and the other for the cows. We continued to
work on the milk room addition
to the house. By fall we had pruchased another three cows locally and again had to add to the
sheds. The winter of
2006 was crowded, but everyone survived.
