Announcement!
Hello everyone!
After a long winter, spring is finally here. The trees have busted open with green leaves and flowers, like beautiful fireworks. Sasquatches, bison, and now the elk have given birth to their babies. Life is good. The circle of life continues, and so here we are, once again watching the little ones learn from their parents.
Our latest and greatest achievement can be found online. We have now set up an account with CafePress, and we are selling apparel and other merchandise through their website. This makes it a lot easier for all of our out-of-state fans to support their favorite Sasquatch Farm. We had a ton of requests to send shirts, and other great gear, but after awhile, it became too time consuming, so we had to find alternate methods, and we decided to use CafePress. They are a great company, and we look forward to working with them.

Enjoy life!

A Little Sasquatch 101
I'm back from a short hiatus, which was mostly due to me forgetting to do the daily update, but seeing as its only been two weeks, I don't feel too bad about it. But thanks to my friend who said, "You need to do more updates."
So what's new with Sasquatchicus Farms, LLC?
Quite a bit.
We have opted to set up our holiday decorations this week. Seeing as the weather has been so nice lately, it's better to do it now instead of when the temperatures plummet and we all have frostbite from trying to hang lights on the porch.
Here's a picture from the back of our gift shop and visitor's center.
If anyone wants to know what fresh sasquatch sausage tastes like, you need to visit us soon. There's really nothing quite like it.
We have also adopted a set of sasquatch twins! Their mother was hit by a truck in Manitoba, and when the highway department went to pick her up to give to a local food shelter, they found two yearling sasquatches hiding in the bushes next to her. They called us to see if we'd take them, and of course we said, "Yes!" They are both females and we have named them "Sunny" and "Olivia". The adult sasquatches have taken a liking to them, and they have already been adopted by a few older matriarchs. The twins are healthy, and are finally starting to warm up to their new atmosphere, neighbors, and caretakers.
Until tomorrow,
Dave

Back at it, The Adventures of a Sasquatch Farmer
We finally have a sunny day again in this area of Wisconsin. For what seemed like two weeks, we had nothing but heavy, thick clouds, and rain. Thank goodness we get a little break.
The animals are appreciative of the break as well. The Sasquatch, bison, deer, and elk are all busier and more active today. A lot of the sasquatch are laid out across logs and rocks, lying in the sun and soaking in some rays.
We've been busy today, taking advantage of the weather and getting some more things prepped for winter. We pulled out the lights to hang on trees for the holiday season coming up. Don't worry, we won't be hanging them just yet (wayyyy too early), but we pulled them out and checked to make sure that all of the lights are working properly. Maisy, our mascot sasquatch, was wondering what we were doing as well, so we let her watch us. She stayed close by, content and curious, even picking up some strings of lights at times to examine them more closely. That's one of the parts of this job that I love. Seeing almost "human-like" emotions and gestures that the sasquatches make. It's very cool.
But enough for now, I need to grab some lunch and get back to work outside. I hope all is well with everyone. Take care!

A Final Farewell to our friend Alexander
As you already know, one of our sasquatches, Alexander, died from old age last week. It was sad to see him go, but it was his time.
As news spread, we have been getting a steady stream of phone calls from all over the country. They are people who have visited our farm and kept track of us via our weekly e-newsletters that we send out. It has been awesome knowing how many people care about our farm, and everyone at Sasquatchicus Farms, LLC has felt a huge sense of community with everyone we've met at the farm over the years.
Today in the mail, we received this drawing from a girl living in SE Wisconsin. Thank you SO much Taylor!
The scan may be a little hard to read, but it says "I Miss you Alexander!"
Thanks again Taylor. We truly appreciate it.

Rainy today at the farm, but we are still getting a steady flow of tourists and visitors. We had a small group of kids stay with us for a few hours this morning. Their teacher insisted on showing them the farm before the snow came. But alas, it seems as though the rains can be even more difficult sometimes. We still showed them the visitor's center, and let them watch the educational movies. Of course Maisy had to make a surprise visit at the end. We managed to sneak the 8' sasquatch into the visitor's center during the end of the movie when the lights were off, and somehow none of the kids noticed. When we flipped the light switch back on, there was this giant sasquatch towering over the kids, chuckling and more excited than a fruit fly on a banana. The kids were just as ecstatic.
As always, life is good on the farm.

Back to work
I took the past three days off after working straight for 14. It was a nice break, but I'm glad to be back at the sasquatch farm.
Cloudy today and currently 43 degrees.
Maisy is in the visitor's center this morning, and we're getting her prepped for a one-on-one question and answer session. Somehow, she got a ton of burrs in her fur, and so we've been taking turns trying to comb them out. I can tell she doesn't like it, but it will be a lot more comfortable for her once we get the burrs out.

A mournful beginning
I didn't write yesterday because a lot was going on yesterday. At about 10:00 a.m. yesterday morning, we heard a distressed howling near the northern edge of the sasquatch pen, and it didn't stop. One of our staff members went down to see what was going on, and she found three sasquatches standing in some taller grass, looking down. As she got closer, she realized that there was another sasquatch lying in the grass. It was "Alexander", our patriarchal sasquatch who has been living on this farm for 53 years. He was the last pup born from one of the two original sasquatch cows when this farm was established.
Alexander wasn't looking too good. Not good at all.
We transported him to "The Cabin", which is a small enclosure on our farm used to house sasquatches when they are wounded, sick, or having complications of any kind. It's actually pretty nice inside. A few years ago, I slept there a couple nights while taking part of a 24 hour monitoring of a pregnant sasquatch in bad condition.
We called in the local vet who checked out Alexander, and he basically said that Alexander was on his way out. 53 is a ripe old age for a sasquatch. I think Alexander knew it as well, or at least it appeared that way. He was very gentle, and appreciated the attention he was getting.
Two of our staff members asked to spend the night with him, and so we let them. We also brought Maisy, our favorite cow sasquatch, to the Cabin as well to sleep there to provide some additional comfort. From what they told me, Alexander was pretty darn happy about all that. They went to sleep, and then around 4:00 a.m., they noticed that Alexander's breathing sounded strained. At 5:13 a.m., Alexander the Sasquatch passed away.
It's been a rough morning for some of the staff. Alexander was well loved. We've already been getting phone calls from some of our regular visitors, so thank you to all of you folks.
If you'd like to say a few words, feel free to post them in the Comments section below. All would be appreciated.
Take care,
