Stormcrow's Hobby Farm

Probably not accomplishing much on the homestead today.
I'm somewhere on this map. "The Wiregrass"

The well pump could use a break. But did just pick up 500# of feed and two lynch pins for the tractor impliments. $136. So, its not a completely worthless day so far.

Is wiregrass as unfriendly as it looks?

Goats don't seem to mind. Certainly more friendly than the native blackberry

It blows my mind when I see the whitetail deer here eating raspberry and blackberry canes, spruce tips, and wild rose canes.

I'm curious as to how they do it without ending up with a mouthful of blood.

The same way I can now pull topical soda apple with bare hands. The skin gets tough. Very tough. Goats the same. The roof of their mouth must be like Marty Raney's hands...

(so there is NO mistake) my hands look NOTHING like that. Apart from typing fingertips (and soda apple, of course), my hands look like I've not done a day of honest work my whole life.
