Herd Master
I've been on here a few years. I had cattle, goats, horses, and chickens when I started. I got rid of the goats and am down to one bull. I messed up last year selling the heifers with the thought of buying better cows this year. In Zebu they are going for 4x+ what I sold mine for so it may be a wait. I will not get goats again until I have more land. Still letting the horses eat more than they are worth.
As for the journal. It's a good way to have a beekeeping record since I'm bad about keeping records. I should have some showing up any day now. I ordered 2 packages and I have 3 hives incase I get a swarm. I studied them for about 4 years now. It started when I found a colony in a tree 20' from the back door of the new house (presumably there when I moved in) and not noticing them unless you looked up. They lasted a couple of years and I only got stung once when mowing and one landed on my face and I yes I slapped her stinger into my face. There is an abandoned house a couple of miles away that has a huge colony in it, but I haven't caught a swarm yet. I need to move my swarm traps.
I work on the road as a Pipe Fitter/Pipe Welder. Currently 2 kiddos they turn 4 and 2 later this year. I was raised around horses, cattle, chickens and dogs. I currently have 1 mean blue heeler and will probably always have a heeler.
Well that's a good enough start. Best wishes and have a great day.
