Second Tuesday on Franklin Hill Farm

Crops of babies

By Bettina Sperry

During the course of the next two months, Franklin Hill Farm will have a new spring crop of babies. We're expecting five calves and two thoroughbred foals. The images below are from our 2014 crop and include our expecting mares and cows. The images also include photos of our Tennessee Walkers, Phantom Sunrise (see detail at right) and Korabelle, who will be joining wonderful new parents at a neighboring farm.

  3. The farmer is done to exhaustion, but the joy of this farm moves me along. Glad this first winter is closing soon. Next year will be easier.
