We have one cow and calf and 3 steers. On the hunt for another cow/calf but its getting a tad late for that. Ultimately looking to have 3 cows to breed, 3 yearlings, and 3 calves each summer. Eggs we sell to a built up customer base and at the farmers market. Recently have tapped into the...

Hey all! came digging around my old BYC account looking for some old chicken photos and figured i would pop by and say hey! Things are great on the farm and busy as always, but i wouldn't have it any other way. Chicken math is at work as always and we are running right around 120 hens these...

Well I was hoping to make progress on my cattle fence tonight but this dang rain came from nowhere!

Hey @duluthralphie are you still breeding cream legbars and white sports? The breed Came up in a discussion with a homesteader friend and made me think of you

No, i have a general contractor. The bank wouldnt allow me to be my own GC. So i found a GC that would sub out work to me. I just finished up all the low voltage and network cabling this morning. ready for the drywall and insulation guys to come this week now!

Thanks, that means a bunch! With the new house going up, I have been also working on getting the rest of the farm cleaned up and organized so that it doesn't look like an eyesore with the new house haha watching them tear down the old house with an excavator was a very, very satisfied thing :)

In other news, since I'm not busy enough , i am also in the process of stringing high tension electric fence around the farm. Should have 7 acres in when I'm done. Will have calves and maybe lambs on it next spring!

Yeah I'm still figuring my way around. Took me longer than I care to admit to find my way back to this thread. Here is a shot of the elevations:

Here is a photo for the curious!

I've just been a busy dude! I tried to check in a while back but it seems the iPhone BYC app is hosed again? The last 12 months have been wild for us. We are currently homeless, living in an RV, and building a new house. Hope to be moved in before the end of October when it starts getting real...

Hey all! Long time no see! Figured I was well over due to check in and see how my favorite chicken people are doing!

morning all! took me a bit to catch up! I have a new supervisor at work and he made it clear that he is not a lax about phone usage at work as my last supervisor. this is fair, but means less daytime BYC reading. My last supervisor trusted us to not let it intrude on our work and i thought...
