Happy Easter from our farm to your family.

Spring reminds us that new life always finds a way.

“We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.” — Romans 6:4

Wishing you a season of renewal, growth and fresh starts.

Why is today called Easter? Or is "Resurrection Day" Better?
In the majority of European countries, the holiday of Easter is named after Passover, the Jewish festival. Hence, in Greece, it’s called Pascha, in France it’s referred to as Paques, and in Italy, Pasqua.

The origins of the English word, Easter, are a little more complicated. Some argue that it is named after the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring, ‘Eostre’. If this were the case, it would suggest that Christians subsumed pagan celebrations into their own springtime holidays. But scholars increasingly reject this theory.

Instead, the word Easter is thought to have derived from the Latin word for dawn, ‘alba’, which became ‘eostarum’ in medieval Germany. Hence, in Germany, Easter is known as Ostern, a parallel to the English term, Easter.

Easter is a springtime Christian celebration dedicated to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, three days after his Crucifixion. Easter follows Lent,...

Looking for a Bull for this breeding season! How about one from these amazing cows? Check out the bulls we have left! Click on the link in the comments to check out our website.

Steps to choosing the right bull?
1. What breed?
2. Yearling / 2yr old / Mature?
- Yearling: small to moderate frame cows and yearling heifers. We recommend no more than 15 animals to keep a tighter breeding window.
- 2 yr old: moderate to larger framed cows, yearling heifers. We recommend no more than 20-25 animals
- Mature bull: Large yearling heifers (if the bull is fit) and any of your cows. Ideal number to breed is no more than 30.
3. Calving easy or a strong cross?
- we encourage people to use a low birthweight calving ease bull for all yearling heifers. Nothing good comes from pulling calves.
- growthy bull genetics are great for raising feeder stock
4. Timing
- When do you want your calves to arrive? If you're like us, we like to brave the cold, mud and rain. Why, it gives our breed stock an advantage over the average breeding season in NW Wisconsin.
- Put the bull in July 20th for May Calves.
5. Maintain a relationship with a few people selling quality bulls.
- Always reach out to them before shipping your bull to the sale barn. If you're using quality bulls, you'll likely get more selling directly to a buyer.

Feel free to reach out with any bull buying questions!

🎨 Paint cleanup tip: it’s not just the paint—it’s the surface too

What it lands on can make all the difference when it comes to cleanup.

Hard surfaces? Usually easier
Carpet, wood, fabric? Not so much 😅

Everyone seems to have their own tricks depending on the situation. What’s your go-to tip for cleaning up paint spills? Any methods that actually worked?

Fun fact: Cows have best friends—and they actually get stressed when they’re separated.

Yep… even out in the pasture, there’s a whole lot of “you hang up first” energy going on. 🐄

Farm life: where the herd isn’t just a herd… it’s a full-blown friend group.

Happy first day of spring… which around here means calving season (and all the surprises that come with it). 🌱🐄

When a calf needs a little extra care, you make it work… and sometimes that means bringing the farm inside.

Spring on the farm isn’t all sunshine and green grass just yet—but it sure keeps things interesting.

Today we celebrate the hardworking farmers, ranchers, and families who keep food on our tables and communities strong. 🌱🐄

At Sawyer Creek, we’re proud to be part of that story.

Happy National Ag Day!

DID YOU KNOW?

A Red Angus cow can see nearly all the way around herself. Their side-set eyes give them close to 360° vision, which helps them stay aware of everything happening in the pasture.

The perfect outcome of planning bale grazing last fall.
