2024 かっこよく、みんな揃って登場。
のはずが、慣れない雪に足を滑らせちゃいました。
今日、トマムでは本格的な雪が降っています。
仔牛たちは冬毛に生え変わり元気いっぱいですが、そろそろ牛舎中心の生活に移行していきます。
自由に走り回れなくなるので、ちょっと寂しくなります。

2024 牛さんのもぐもぐタイム。
秋も深まり、ファーム放牧エリアの青草の育ちがいよいよ鈍くなってきました。
それに伴い、牛さんの主食を「サイレージ」と呼ばれる、牧草ロールを乳酸発酵させたものと「配合飼料」（※デントコーン）と（※甜菜）などを粉砕圧縮したものに変更し始めています。
※デントコーン＝家畜用のトウモロコシ
※甜菜＝北海道特産で砂糖の原料
今まで通り、朝夕のもぐもぐタイムの後は放牧地でみんな自由に過ごしているので
ファーム内でも牛さんを眺めながら、カートドライブやお散歩をお楽しみいただけます。
あたりを見渡すと
松の木が黄色く色づきはじめ、晩秋を感じさせます。
どこまでも高い青空
木々の紅や黄色
こんなコントラストを
牛さんたちもゆったりと楽しんでいるのかもしれませんね。
（牛の色覚には諸説あるようですが…☺）

おおよそ１歳半になり、そろそろ良いタイミングで種付けの時期になってきています。
人間と同じく、牛さんの顔も様々ですが
今朝そばに寄ってきたと思ったら、この微笑み。
なんかやっぱり「美人」な牛だなぁ。。。
なんて、僕はちょっと手のひらで弄ばれたのかもしれませんね。笑
今朝の気温は３℃くらいでしたでしょうか。
車のフロントガラスがバリバリに凍っていて
いよいよ、トマムにも冬の足音が聞こえてきました。

2024 トマムは朝夕と冷え込むようになってきました。
先週末「モーモー学校」に参加してくれたお兄ちゃん。
元気に大きな声を出しながら、牛を誘導してくれました。
終わる頃には、ジャケットを脱ぎたくなるくらい、暖かになりました。
今期のモーモー学校も残すところ、今週末を残すのみ。
毎年この時期は季節が駆け足で進んでいく事を実感します。
About
Farm Hoshino Initiatives
Hoshino Resort offers experiences related to the culture, industry, and local activities that are unique to the area.
"Farm Hoshino" was started in the belief that the beautiful scenery created by agriculture provides relaxation to travelers and that the agricultural products produced there enrich the travel experience.
In realizing these experiences, we are conducting production activities at Hoshino Resorts TOMAMU.
Tomamu was an area where about 700 head of cattle were raised and farmed until it was developed as a resort. The resort operates a farm area of approximately 100 hectares in the hope that visitors can enjoy the original beauty of this land.
Creating beautiful landscapes born from agriculture
Currently, we are working on an approximately 100-hectare property located at Hoshino Resorts TOMAMU. Surrounded by the lush green mountains and forests of Tomamu, cattle, sheep, goats, and horses graze on the land. The grass is also grown to feed the animals, and plowed fields and grass bales are scattered throughout the area. The landscape is typical of Hokkaido, with nature stretching far into the distance.
Raising cattle in an environment close to nature
Farm Hoshino began raising 5 dairy "Holsteins" in June 2018 and now has about 30 cows, including "Brown Swiss". From spring to fall, the cows are raised on pasture rather than in barns, providing them with ample green grass to eat. Tomamu's cool climate is said to be suitable for dairy cows, which are sensitive to heat.
We also chose to raise our cows in a way that allows them to spend their time spontaneously, taking advantage of the large space available to them so that they can spend their time without stress. Raising cows in a way that is close to nature is also conducive to producing delicious products.
Production activities born from the richness of nature
In August 2018, the company began producing milk. In order for our customers to enjoy the original flavor of milk, we use "pasteurization" and "non-homogenization," a process that does not homogenize the milk fat contained in the milk.
From spring to fall, dairy cows grow up eating green grass, and the milk is characterized by its sweet taste and refreshing aftertaste.
On a typical day, one dairy cow can milk approximately 30 liters per day, which is served at the buffet restaurant and café in Hoshino Resorts TOMAMU. It is also sold in the hotel's store.
In April 2019, the production of soft serve made from this milk began, and in July 2020, a wide range of dairy product processing, including several types of cheese, also began. Various kinds of cheese are offered at OTTO SETTE TOMAMU, the main dining room in RISONARE Tomamu, and TOMAMU Wine House on hotalu street.
The People Behind Farm Hoshino
Miyatake Hiroomi, who has been involved with Farm Hoshino since its inception, launched the farm's operations at the resort in 2017 and is responsible for developing experiences in nature, raising cows, and producing and processing milk.
He also manages Farm Hoshino with technical guidance from Kaino Yasuhiko, who has been running the Kaino Farm in Hamanaka-cho, Hokkaido for 32 years, in terms of cow health management and farm operations.
