2024/07/21

Yup- the new and improved chicken yard is up, complete with chicken wire reinforcement and electric strings on the top. Soon, a single run of electric will be run on the lower outside to further deter climbing varmints. The pounding of t-posts was a breeze and stringing the fence relatively easy. You would think they had practice...Using physics, shrubberies were removed from the Springfield house. Yay!Blind Hog burned the brush pile, Acorn went crazy wit the push mower and various weed whacking

Blind Hog and Acorn have been hot hot hot- working a bit outside them coming back in.

Plenty of grass for the goats and all the scrub and brush they can manage.Acorn still has a wonky foot, ,but hiking boots are the savior. Nice foot stability but the price is their weight.

"Official" start of summer, so Acorn told the cats they had to hand out under th3 carport, where they USED to hang out until they figured out how to go in and out of the dog door. Speaking of which, the door has been boarded up until it begins to freeze. The farmers spent almost 3 hrs cleaning the porch of cat hair, bunny fur and various tidbits but alas! The screen porch is now useable 24/7 and risk of cat hair floating into morning coffee has been greatly reduced.Blind Hog has the

The time came for out last two Dexter cattle to be sent to the butcher. We did arrange for "on farm kill" for Mr Tasty the steer (the last calf born on the farm) and our good old Calpurnia (one of the first calves who arrived at the farm). Will not get into all the arguments defending the decision to "eat a family member" but I will say this, she had a goodly bit of fat cover, had not run around in years, and to just bury her would have been such a waste.Mr Tasty on the other

Blind Hog and Acorn said goodbye to Skittles the macaw this week- the houseguest went back home. In fact, the neighbors sent pictures- they have cleared the location of the house, pushed all the remains in a pile and will haul the metal to the recyclers. The site looks great. Is also helpful when you own a bulldozer and Colleen likes to run her dozer...Asparagus is doing great- three pickings so far. Geese have not gone totally broody yet.
