So along with moving cattle, I got several things, accomplished and semi accomplished with the chickens. I have a new batch of meat birds coming in the next couple weeks so I needed to get a securable coup built that would keep the predators out. It doesn’t look like much other than a wood box…
Got alot done this weekend, was a 3-day weekend so I would hope so. No time off for the busy bodies. The east and south east pastures had a couple heifers, a cow and a newborn steer on it. We try to keep the expectant mothers close here to home so we can keep an…
So here I am finding myself with multiple projects in multiple arenas. Laundry Room rip up, garden, chicken and cattle. It’s amazing how life doesn’t hardly ever fit into our own personal categorization of what we expect. This seems to happen more often than not. While me personally I would love to be able to…
So hasn’t been alot going on work wise the couple weeks. More personal stuff taking up my time lately. Working on getting another business going in the apparel printing side of things so getting the online shop setup http://www.metalbone.com/apparel/. Just trying to get products setup up and pricing has been a chore. I am also…
These are always fun. Why? Well because moving even 1 or two takes some planning. You have to make sure where your moving them is setup, no fence breakage, water is setup, corral is setup, etc. And when calves are involved you never know what will happen. Moving older cattle is just a matter of…

So instead of pounding posts, i built a couple small beds into stage one area. I need to get these up and running as I need to start the planting for the fall/winter stuff. I initially wont have a lot of room so there wont be much but anything at this point is better than…
My idea for this week was to work on getting posts in the ground. Doing that this time of the year is not easy by any means due to no water in the ground and it being full of rock. Well that didn’t happen anyway. To keep everything categorized properly I will do a main…
So I started laying things out a bit this afternoon after church (yes mom I went to church). You might think that this is relatively easy, but honestly its not. Sure you can just go out and throw 6×12 raised beds wherever they will fit but as I started thinking, it was rather more involved…
In my world the chicken came before the egg. I know there are those of you out there that would disagree but look at it from my viewpoint. I had to order the chicken first, then they laid the egg. Now I am also pretty sure the place i got them had the egg then…
