We have a meeting coming up on the 5th of March at Owl Ridge Farm in New Braintree. We need to be there early as the Speaker needs to start while we eat at 6:30 PM. Don't forget to give Chris a call to let her know if you will be there.
Lambing is underway for most of us and I would encourage everyone to keep in mind that there are plenty of us around to help, provide anything you might have forgotten or help you might need. I have already hit up a member for some colostrum for a set of twins who's mother had no milk(a ram got through the fence and she was not on the breeding list). At any rate, we are all here to help each other.
In looking through the statistics for this blog, several of you are looking in on a regular basis, makes me want to keep it up and try to be informative. I am currently working with our Hubbardston Ag Committee to bring forward a ballot question to eliminate the collection of farm equipment excise tax. Our first order of business is to get the Assessors to discontinue assessing our livestock and equipment under the personal property tax. Despite it contravening Mass General Laws, after four years, we are finally being heard. When this is over, I will be knowledgeable on the subject!!!!!
Hope today's weather qualifies as "Lion" so the rest of the month becomes a lamb. Stay warm and have a great month.
