Guys, it’s been wild around here as Henry prepared for the storm. Before the ice and snow hit, Henry was learning the ropes of getting the farm ready while also trying to help a lot of people who were depending on him for firewood. Henry had the old corn crib full of summer-dried firewood, but delivery after delivery emptied it fast. With the storm closing in, his dad gave him advice on what to do next and helped him locate a local sawmill that sells ends and bad cuts from their lumber. That wood works great

We took a two-day trip down to Arkansas to pick up our new-to-us farm truck — a 3500 HD GMC Sierra with a dump bed on a GMT 455 chassis. With only 41,000 miles, “Old Red” is just getting started! After driving her back to Kentucky, we installed a gooseneck ball and put her straight to work hauling hay. She pulled like a champ, and the hay we bought carried us through December and into January. Old Red will be kept in the barn and used for hauling small loads around the farm. Henry has big

Not every day on the farm is about green pastures and quiet sunsets. Some days are about moving tractors, warming up old equipment, and doing whatever it takes to get the job done. Today was one of those days. We loaded up and headed to our local vet’s large animal facility for routine care—booster vaccinations for the calves and a pregnancy check for one of our cows. Nothing was wrong, and honestly, that’s the best kind of vet visit. These days are about prevention, good management, and making sure our animals stay healthy long before problems ever arise.

Sale day at Full Circle Farms, Waynesburg is never easy. For nine months, we’ve cared for these calves — born here, raised here, loved here. Today, they weighed in strong at 600 and 765 pounds, but saying goodbye still hurts. Michelle and Henry love raising cattle, yet sale days remind us of the bittersweet side of farm life.

With snow on the ground and winter in full swing, today’s video gives you an inside look at how we’re feeding our cattle during these cold months. We’ll share updates on our current feeding setup and the long process we’ve been navigating with the State Cost Share Program under the USDA and NRCS. After submitting our application in September 2025, the government shutdown delayed everything for more than 40 days. Now, we’re waiting until March or April to find out if we’ve been approved for an official feed pad. In the meantime, we’re making the most

When the weather turns cold, wet, or just plain miserable, one of the things I think about most is how our cows are handling it. Cattle are tough animals, but that doesn’t mean they should be left to battle wind, rain, and freezing temperatures without relief—especially when it comes time to eat. At Full Circle Farms, providing a sheltered place for our cows to feed is a small decision that makes a big difference in their health, comfort, and overall well-being. Feeding Is When Cows Are Most VulnerableCows spend a lot of their day moving, grazing,

This week at Full Circle Farms gets absolutely WILD! Watch Henry and Michelle tackle one of their toughest cattle‑working days yet — runaway calves, emergency shots, rebuilding the working setup three different times, and a race against sunset to help their bull calf Ferdinand. If you love real farm life, honest challenges, and the behind‑the‑scenes chaos that most people never get to see, this video is packed with action, problem‑solving, and plenty of laughs. From Master Cattlemen training to hands‑on vet work, this is small‑farm life at its most real. Stick around to see how we

Some of the quietest moments on the farm don’t come from finishing a big job—they come from slowing down enough to notice where you are. Weeding the flower bed is one of those moments for me. There’s something incredibly peaceful about kneeling down in the soil, gently pulling weeds one by one, and letting the rest of the world fade out for a while. No rushing. No machines running. Just the sound of birds, the feel of the earth in my hands, and the slow rhythm of tending something that’s growing. When I’m weeding flowers, my

Farming doesn’t just work your body—it works your mind. And this year, it worked mine harder than I ever expected. If you’ve wondered why things went quiet around here, the truth is simple: our mental health took a hit, and we had to step back before it broke us completely. People often romanticize farming, but what they don’t see is the constant mental load. Every day is filled with decisions—weather, pests, pricing, markets, money—and there is no off switch. Even when you sleep, your mind is still in the field. Trying to do everything “right” takes
