      <image:title>The Journal - Weathering the Highs and Lows of Farm Life - At nearly 10 years old, Casey has lived a good life and given us so much. For now, our focus is on keeping her comfortable and making the most of the time we have left with her.</image:title>
      <image:caption>It's hard to wrap our heads around the fact that just six weeks ago, she gave birth to two healthy calves while her body was already dealing with so much. Casey is one of those special cows. She's a natural leader in the herd, has a big presence, and is a cow we've come to depend on. The herd will certainly feel her absence when her time comes. And so will we.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Journal - Weathering the Highs and Lows of Farm Life - By the time morning milking was finished, though, things weren't progressing as quickly as we'd hoped. Since this was Falyn's first calf, we wanted to make sure everything was in the right position.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Derrick stepped in to check, confirmed the calf was positioned correctly, and gave Falyn a little extra help getting things moving. And just like that, we had a beautiful new bull calf on the farm! And here's the best part: Cyndee and Rodger were still visiting and got to witness the whole thing! Not a bad addition to their farm tour. It's always a good day when there's a new calf on the ground.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Okay, so the temperatures might still have us wondering if summer got the memo! But we’re leaning into the season anyway. We’ve been busy adding some fall decorations around the store, and our outdoor space is looking festive and ready for the season. Next time you stop by, take a moment to enjoy the fall display out front. It’s the perfect spot for a quick seasonal photo with the kiddos.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Journal - Welcome to Mine Creek Farmstead - A New Little Addition to the Herd</image:title>
      <image:caption>And now for some happy news from the pasture! Iggy had her calf last week—right on schedule—and we're thrilled to welcome our first heifer calf since becoming the owners of the farm. There's something pretty special about seeing a new heifer calf arrive on a farm you're building for the future. She's a little piece of what's to come here at Mine Creek, and we're pretty excited to watch her grow. Welcome to the herd, little one. ❤️ (Her name is Nicki.) We're looking forward to sharing more of her—and everything else happening around the farm—with you as we begin this new chapter as Mine Creek Farmstead.</image:caption>
