We have been a bit busy and kind of remiss in posting. These are a few of some of what has been going on here.
We put in a couple of hundred trees in early May. The Country has a tree planter that is really slick. 200 trees in 45 minutes or so.
We had a spring concert at Billy's school
Making Goat cheese
Avid concert goer
caught some butterflies
He's in the danger zone
duck
We had lots of Buffalo Beans to grace our kitchen this spring
This is May 29th before the next 6 inches fell. Our 4th snowstorm of our late calving season.
Floating the first fertilizer we have bought in 18 years for a small experiment with corn
New bull being delivered
This big guy has two hens with him and a couple of nests full of chicks.
Our corn went in yesterday (the neighbour custom seeded), we picked up seed (oats/barley) and our swath grazing will go in over the next month or so (oats/barley). Filled the drill to get started (we use a 5 gallon drill fill and the drill holds 2 mini bulk bags). We have a 80 new rented acres still to break and seed.
Helped the neighbour move cows on Sunday, went to church and managed to get on the horse for a couple of hours afterwards riding double with our 3 year old daughter to actually figure out how many cows are left to calve. We start calving May 1st (by turnout date) and are 92% complete. Sorry I forgot the camera.
The house is coming as basement floor and framing are done and power and gas went on this week. Just drywall and basement windows to go.
