Little wheelbarrow - Josh

3/14/2024

0 Comments

 
"Daddy, can I get a little wheelbarrow?"
"I don't think they'll have one the right size for you, but if they do, and it's not too expensive...."
Little did Daddy know that the right size wheelbarrow had already been sighted. 
That $48 may be the most pleasing purchase of March.

Spring tree planting - Josh

Costco potting soil was on sale for $8 per 50qt bag, and bare-root trees were $20. A break in the weather provided a perfect opportunity to plant.

Honey bees!  Thank you Kellen  -  Josh

5/31/2023

0 Comments

 
Kellen Smick thinks this hive has a perfect position, below our plum trees on an East facing slope for morning sun exposure and protection from wind and afternoon heat. He started the new hive with a frame of brood and a frame of honey, a new queen and some bees. They managed to hatch their brood and build a bunch of wax, and start a bunch of new brood. It's thrilling progress. They definitely have plenty of food.
He added another hive next to it that he split when it was on the verge of swarming.

Chicken tractor build  -  Josh

Following Joel Salatin's instructions in Polyface Designs, we (including Kellen Smick) finally used the Aluminum roofing picked up in CA two months ago. The cages are lighter and better engineered in most every way... we think; we have not used them yet. The first cage was deployed at Kellen's house.

Goodbye sweet (A1) Winnie  -  Josh

5/19/2023

0 Comments

 
With several A2 cows now in milk and desire to move to purebred Brown Swiss or F1 Swiss x Jersey, Winnie (an A1 cow with 1/8th Angus) needed to go. We sold her to a family near Tri-cities, and she did a beautiful job being led into the trailer. We were all very impressed, and she sold for far more than we paid for her, allowing us to pay back the barn-building fund! We were so blessed to have her milk for several months and were sad to see her go.​

Liberate's heifer Lizzy is born  -  Josh

5/13/2023

0 Comments

 
Lizzie is our 2nd replacement heifer that is half Jersey and half Brown Swiss from Liberate. She was sired by Ensign 7JE1831, who was selected as a complement in each of her features. Ashleigh got to pull slightly, not that Liberate needed it, but it was strange seeing a calf hang 1/2 way out for several contractions.
This was a glorious experience for Ashleigh, Courage, Charlotte, and especially myself I suppose. There is something deeply wonderful and worshipful about having a heifer born on the farm that will be trained by the family and live some 15 or more years (sire had well above average "productive life"), giving over 10,000 gallons of God's custom engineered life-giving substance, Lord willing.
Thank you Beloved Creator!
