Our family likes this made with
peaches. It never seems to last long
at our house.
Our cows came home two
months ago to our new dairy barn.
We milked them for five years at
my husband’s home place. It sure
is nice to do the chores at our own
farm instead of running back and
forth.
My husband, Llewellyn, and I
have four children: Unnea, 9;
Kayla, 6; Sharita, 4; and Weldon,
2'A.
We always enjoy reading all the
interesting entries in June.

a very diversified crop and lives
tock farm owned by John Zech
many, my father. / have lived on
the farm most of my life and I hope
my daughter will enjoy growing up
on the farm as much as I did.
Craig grew up in the country but
not on a farm. He never lived on a
farm or did much farm work until
he married me. He is quick to learn
and can handle whatever needs to
be done. He has grown to love the
farm as much as I do!
As with any typical farm family,
we are constantly busy. Usually, at
this time of the year, the last place
to find anyone is in the house.
There is always something to do
the barn or in the chickenhou
The best places to be are in the
fields or in the garden and working
with our newly acquired registered
Angus cattle.
