Blind Hog and Acorn ·

2022/08/21

This week the farm brought in 4 adult Spanish nannies, one who was born on the farm 5 years ago. These were the last four goats of folks who started with SteelMeadow goats and got their herd up to 40, but they have decided to focus on cattle and making hay. The goats are calm, healthy, and will make great additions.To end the week, Acorn sold the two Flappy sisters who were not suited as commercial, range goats- these two need to be pets. Happily, a couple from 2 hrs away needed companions for

Acorn spent a few days at the Florida house repainting a couple rooms, fixing a few things, and being a general-all-around-handyman. Back at the farm, she and Blind Hog are back in the attic preparing to install a louvered gable vent and attic fan. So exciting!Was unusually cool today (upper 60's) at the farm but the farmers did not complain. Being up in the attic was quite bearable! Fingers crossed they can complete the project tomorrow.

Our favorite farmers turned into roof repair techs this past week- hard to turn down an opportunity to save cash. $1,400 repair estimate from one company, but when Blind Hog and Acorn could score the materials for $300? Of course! They did it themselves! Good news is that the roof ridge has been replaced and should be (knock wood) waterproofed and leak proofed.The bull Fintan, cow Sorcha and her bull calf went to Tennessee on Monday morning, happy that they will be well taken care of at their

Another project completed! Blind Hog and Acorn dismantled the former "chicken tractor" and turned it into a sweet looking AND functional pellet feeder for the goat kids!

Has been an interesting few weeks to say the least.
