Major Update

Been awhile sorry!

We have been really busy with building pens and fencing. The beets came up last week and my Brother Mike planted cabbage and Sweet Peas.

Looks like we are now in the Duck business. This is Fred and Ginger. You should see them dance. Shouldn't be long till we have little ducklings!

The Rabbits have been practicing math! These are the little bunnies at two weeks old. We have 7

We enlarged the rabbit house,added four new pens. We are going to get a bred Dutch and a Lop to add to our stock.

This is the new prince of goats. We bought him from a local here and named him Brave Heart. You can see the heart shape on his forehead. He is full blood Boer with the Paint coloring. We sold all the other billies we had except Jericho, he has been around from the beginning so some attachment on my part. Anyway he is old so Brave heart will be taking over the Throne soon.

We have also got the flock started. They aren't laying yet! LOL They are 60 Pullet run chicks some Red sex link, Black sex link and Rhode Island Reds. This should give us 60 laying Hens by August.

Busy! busy! busy! but sure enjoying this life.

"Faarm Livin is the life for me"

We got it done! Planted 585 Yellow onions, 350 Red Onions and 255 Red potato cuttings. The Foreman showed up about noon with his crew and it took about an hour or so to knock it out.

I had to get my hands dirty

We also planted some beets for pickles. Our Grandmother always had beet pickles when we were kids and Mike knows how to make them.

So the root crops are in and another planting day on the 28Th of March will get most everything in except tomatoes and later producing crops.

Talk about perfect timing! It's starting to rain. A good shower will be great

Moving right along

Well today was a landmark day for us. The Girls finally got to work! Sure it is just the first egg of our babies we raised from 2 weeks old.

look closely in the bottom 4th nest from the left.

Me with the first

So the Barn is up, the gardens are tilled and the big planting day is set for this Saturday. We are going to kill the roosters from the flock and have Chicken enchilada's cooked by my brother Mike. He loves to cook so I let him do most of the cooking anyway LOL.

We have also got our tanks set up for minnows to sell. We are going to sell bait and tackle also. Our farm is only about 6 miles from Arbuckle Lake. So we should have a little traffic for bait. we are also about 1/4 mile from the Washita River.

Lots of work but a lot of fun
