Margali's Griffin Wood Ranch

[Baymule]

I got all my reciepts done, printed out a summary to take to CPA. I'm keeping important folders in my truck so I don't lose them. LOL LOL

Don't worry about showing a profit, it will come. In the meantime, charge off all you can. I do a profit/loss for the sheep and show a profit this year. I do the dogs, dead loss. BUT at least the sheep are profitable. I don't know how the CPA does it all, that's why I pay him. I will consider myself a REAL farmer when/if the sheep cover the dog expense. LOL LOL

New issue with Bruno. Today he snapped at Dominic (no contact) for trying to take his toy. Cuffed him, rolled upside down, scolded, and put in crate. Then loved all over Dominic. I will be focusing on kids ranking him and being allowed to mess with his food and toys. *sigh*

Dogs have to learn. You did right and corrected him. Take him down a notch and let him know his rank in the pack.

Don't know if I would laugh.... maybe cry instead.... OUCH on any purchases.

I only cry at the diesel fuel pumps.

Since the dogs are needed to protect the sheep, aren't they part of farm expenses? It isn't like they are lap dogs hanging around in the house 24x7.

3 point for the tractor?

So there may have been a house on the land at one point. I found what appears to be an old well to south of main gate. There is an old propane tank about 50ft from the well.




Unfortunately, FIL's tractor moved to next family member needing it last week. May see if tractor can come back at some point. Otherwise, I'll cut off the top assembly and fill with mud slurry so it can't collapse.

How deep is the well?

 

[Baymule]

Yes, by all means fill in the well or you can have it tested and see if it can be outfitted to water the animals and garden. That might be a better use of the well, but safety for your children comes first.

The old propane tank can be sold on Craigslist to make a BBQ pit out of.
