Farmin’ Friday: The best day of the year (besides Christmas)

IMG_0270

Christmas is the best day of the year.

But, if you ask me, the runner up is: The Day All the Cows and Calves are Out to Pasture.

It should be a state holiday.

We should order fireworks and cake and maybe even a keg (not for me, of course).

This momentous, historic, wonderful day happened for us just last week.

Everyone breathed a big, huge sigh of relief.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh.”

The Importance of Pasture & Protein 

Did you know, about 85% of the land in the United States that is used for grazing cattle is unsuitable for growing crops?*

This means that cows are sort of like scavengers. If America’s ranchers (and the cows) were not using this land to produce beef – it would be…well, unused.

Grazing cattle on pasture more than doubles the area that can be used to raise food.

If you are a growing kid, an athlete, or someone interested in maintaining your health – protein is very important.

That’s why The Day All the Cows and Calves are Out to Pasture is the second best day of the whole dang, darn year!

Hey, I’m Sierra Shea! I am so glad you are here. 

Where do I start with writing to introduce this blog? At the beginning, I suppose: I’ve been writing on various platforms online since 2013. I started blogging shortly after moving to South Dakota.

I am a mother and a maker at heart. I’m so grateful to be married to John and mother of three: Joslyn, J.D. and Jesse.

I am a self-taught decorator and designer. I am a brand new shepherdess and a Spiritual Director.

I love living in South Dakota, even though the winters & the wind can be a near-daily struggle.

Blogging is a grounding force in my life and it helps get me out of my head, unstuck and moving in the directions I always hoped I’d be going!
