Cows In The Shop, Feelings In The Office

We move from frozen pumps and calves in the shop to the deeper work of turning a family farm into a disciplined business with clear roles, healthy boundaries, and a resilient plan. Markets are tough, margins are thin, and we choose structure, community, and courage over constant crisis.

• cold snap stories and calving wins
• market report fallout and cash flow choices
• phones ringing and carving quiet time
• treating the farm like a business
• marketing plans, budgeting, and systems
• redefining roles and dropping old scripts
• boundaries that protect focus and energy
• adaptability without living in crisis mode
• equipment costs, debt, and cooperation
• community over competition for resilience
• stepping into a new identity with purpose
• inviting audacious dreams into the calendar
