Fall 2011

Fall 2011 in in full swing. A busy summer season. We welcome a new member to the family: Isaac, born in July. We baled alot of hay this summer both round and square.

The garden did well. We were able to preserve the bounty by canning. It was a constasnt struggle against weeds this year, though.

Winter rapidly approaching; we need to get more fire wood stored up. Barn is full of hay. Basement shelves stacked with canned goods. Freezer with meat-- and hopefully deer soon.

Jay started school this fall, he is growing so fast. Isaac is growing fast. More updates to come. Above are a couple of pics from this season.

And dont forget, check us out on Facebook; it gets updated more frequently.

Spring 2011

Spring 2011 is in full swing! Even more so, when the rain slows... Well its been quite a while; I seem to update our facebook page more often, since its so easy. So please check us out there, I eill attempt to update more. Jay is growing fast, 3 /12 now. Another one on the way, a boy. Barn is up, roof in place, yet to be sided. Building more permanent fence. Built portable "chicken tractor" for our flock. Have a broody hen with 10 chicks in a small broody coop we built. Corn fields 1/2 ready to plant. Still need to fix: hay maul floor, hay wagon top, haybine for hay season.

Summer

All is well. Very busy. Please check out our Facebook page for weekly updates. All of first cut hay is done. Sold one cow; soon to sell one heifer (8-28); 2 beef steers for sale. Firewood is in progess; winter will be here soon. Barn completed soon I hope. Barn pics to come soon.

June Update

Happy Birthday Concord Mom. June update is short. Life is busy, and were slowing down the farm. Looking forward to camping this week. Then hope to start making hay the following week. Barn progress is slow, due to weather and work. Below is a red Dexter heifer, growing well. Try to update later with more pics.

April Update

Above was this mornings calf. Spring actually here. Green grass and all. Barn building is in progress and hay season will be upon us soon.

Spring is here!

Spring is here and the weather is warming. Hogs were processed and sold, thank you. We have 2 new calves on the farm with one cow yet to calve. Plans are brewing fast for the new barn, I hope to order lumber this week. We recently bought a hay rake. And were planning the spring garden. We dont get to blog as much as we wish, with work changes (Stations and shift). But we'll try to keep this updated as much as possible.
