Hampshire/suffolk is the 4h mix, we had some this year for fair and they were fantastic. loved them

I love the netting, best thing we have ever bought for our property makes things so much easier. Yes i held back a big old meat bird hen from our last butcher, put her on a layers diet and have been getting some eggs from her. she has to weigh 10 lbs at least but gets around just fine. My...

6 babies from my does total, 3 sets of boy/girl twins, i have a fourth doe that didnt settle when the others did but is getting a small udder so maybe in a couple months. My oldest doe decided to reject her doeling after disbudding, i didnt notice for a couple days, which i feel horrible about...

Here is my buck Duncan, older pic of him, i need to get an updated one, his beard is pretty epic now lol. The two kids that were born to my smallest goat, they are very little. The boy is quite a bit larger than the girl and is only 2 lbs. Boy is black and white with brown eyes, super...

I'll have to get a picture of him, his first kids were born early this morning from my only FF this year. A girl and a boy. will post some pictures later :love Mama did it all on her own, i found them when i woke up at 430 for work. Its been chilly here since the snow on saturday and was in the...

Spring is well on its way. Got our greenhouse up, temps have been so wild most days its not even needed, but then will come back with a random 17 degree overnight temp. Started my tomatoes and peppers, no sprouts yet :fl I have 3 does due in the next week from my moonspotted buck. these will be...

they are so cute! ive had a couple babies born with floppy ears they straighten up in a couple weeks. i think its adorable.

Its been a little while... did some necessary scaling back this last couple months. im trying to find the sweet spot between enjoying everything and being completely overwhelmed. I feel like it comes in waves, especially when the days become shorter and i leave for work in the dark and get home...

congrats!!

Garden is coming back pretty well, the heat has been pretty intense so alot of my green beans arent setting but i put in a second crop of them a couple weeks ago so they will come into fruit during the cooler weather we hopefully have in store. Watermelons, carrots and corn has been harvested...

We have two IPP X KuneKune gilts. They are such cool pigs. minimal rooting. Get along with my goats and chickens. Very friendly. they are about 6 months old almost and close to 200lbs each. I've been trying to convince my husband to breed one and eat the other but no luck so far lol. The plan...

yes! we somewhat have the double fencing, i think that is what has kept them out this long, we have an electric fence for our goats (its short, only 4 feet) and then inside of that we have the deer fence. Part of the problem too, that we werent aware of was our electric fence got grounded out...

Kevin Burgers was a family favorite lol

i will try this. i was so sad about the tomatoes i wish they would have left mine alone. :somad

I agree about the venison. Would be easy to get him, the deer here are either desensitized to humans or super hungry and thirsty, or maybe a bit of both. I've been with 5 feet of several this year. I'm going to extend the tops of my fences with the fishing line that's a wonderful idea, thank...

thank you! this is the first year they have even grown to a decent size and had so many beautiful peppers on them already. i will not give up yet!

Deer broke into our garden while we were away for the weekend. I wanted to cry they ate all the tops off my tomatoes, every single leaf/pepper off my peppers, destroyed my green beans, ate a bunch of my strawberries and my best squash plant. Left my watermelon, pumpkins, corn, potatoes, carrots...

Im also currently battling deer, they got into my garden and ate so much, i wanted to cry lol. we are trying really high netting this weekend. 8 feet, from amazon. This time of year they have babies and are very opportunistic, hope your fencing keeps them out.

The kids 4H turkeys went to their new homes (plates?) this week. We kept one extra tom back for ourselves for Thanksgiving, when the meat chickens are ready we will process him too. Have to gather up all my extra roosters (including Cluck Norris) and take them to auction on monday. I probably...

my goats actually like the star thistle, its the Italian thistle, milk thistle and bull thistle they avoid. This property had been neglected and left to its own devices for a long time before we bought it. when we moved in there was thistle taller than us covering the field. between mowing and...
