    She is. The rest of them are Brown Swiss or Swiss/Angus. Bertha has the best personality though. She sometimes acts like a dog lol. She comes from anywhere when she's called, cleans me if I'm loving on her calves and loves bread. Look out if that bread sack makes noise because she's coming.

If they aren't there when I'm ready just start the "here chickie chickie" and they come running. My husband says he calls here chickie chickie call and it doesn't work lol. He says he can't...

    Electric Fence Basics

    We use a solar fence charger on ours and the steel fence post acts as the ground. Then we just clip the wires 1 to the electric fence wire and 1 to the steel post. They're great and easy to just pick up and move to a different area if needed. We have to keep 1 on our hay yard since my milk...

    Official BYC Poll: How Do You Keep Rodents Away From Your Coop?

    I giggled at the dog roaming near the coop. We have a border collie female that claims the flock as hers. She and my lab got i to big trouble 7 years ago when I first got chickens. They killed 3 of them and I beat them with the dead birds🤦‍♀️ Until the day my sweet lab passed she wouldn't come...

    Country market/General goods store idea

    I love your idea. Living rural is such a pain at times. I'm horrible about going to town. If I can prolong it I will lol. We have a really neat store here that has grown into a huge thing. It's a consignment shop for vintage and handmade items. It used to be a Woolworth's store so they restored...

    What do you make? Handcrafted / Handmade / Made with Love

    Kind of both if that makes sense lol. They're pretty comfy unless you're keeping it on for hours on end. On this next 1 that I do I think I'm going to possibly line the part where it might be skin contact. I make mine a little longer so that I can carry 2 and do them crossbody. I have an idea...

    Thank you so much. I really do love this kind of stuff since it's our way of life. I believe that partly lends itself to the quality. When you love something it comes through. .

    Not just horses lol. We have 6 of them right now. But I have milk cows that are mine. They each raise 2-4 calves each year and then I milk when they don't have so many. I also raise a couple of showpig litters each winter for 4H kids. We have beef cows too but they're all placed at different...

    Alyssa Bee, Thank you. Many years of practice and trial & error. It helps that my husband spends half his life horseback. Creativlive.com has some amazing online learning. Just keep at it. Each shutter click is practice.

    Ohhhhh so many I have that are favorites. I've gravitated towards my cowboy wall art over the past few years but I do lots of things. Just something I have a passion for. The winter one I waited 25 years to get a good one lol. Did I mention it was -30° when I went out to get it? Yep, I sat in my...

    I handtie custom mohair cinches, purse and camera straps. I love all of the amazing colors out there. I'm going to make a couple of camera straps for myself but am waiting on my newest tie dyed mohair to show up.

    What Attacked My Coop??

    If any of the birds are completely vanishing that would be your fox. Likely, that'd be a male taking them live back to the den for the female with pups. I can tell you all about this first hand. We fought this endlessly last summer. In one day I had a young male make 3 attempts at the coop and...
