We grew 2 or 3 different varieties at Wades mill when I worked there... huge plants... When they sold it, the new owners took all the garden area out and the asparagus beds and rhubarb were demolished... It was out in full sun...

Hope my DS is feeling too guilty, to be having too good a time... Also forgot... the 2 still in the barn lot and field...the open heifer being fed out , and one steer that was small.... steer got his foot between 2 of the rails around the bottom of the hay ring... Have no idea how he managed...

Sure isn't thawing at 28 degrees here....

@RR Homestead .......Congrats on the farm purchase finally happening... now you can concentrate on the packing, sorting, moving plans...

Thanks @SageHill .....SH!T happens. Sad for the cow.. who knows why... but that is like throwing away 1,000....so financially hurts too...

Got the hay fed, it takes me time since I am not near as fast or proficient with the truck.... Did not get the samples packed, and don't know if I am going to get them done and dropped off UPS by 6. I am beat.... and don't know if the backache or the headache I developed is worse... The head...

Because he had things to do and didn't get an early start to the day, these places were not a priority, and wasn't counting on the forecast to be accurate... so wasn't going to "be on the safe side".... I made the comment that the ones we just moved to Grants, behind me; needed a roll even...

Got about 5 inches out there, still spitting some... got to go to DS house to give dog his shot and then go feed some hay because he texted that they will need it if we got much snow....I am not very happy about getting texts of things that need to be done.... Well, started the diesel truck I...

About 5 inches out there now... there was nearly 3+ when I left for the farm at 5 or so, and coming down... has let up now... 26 overnight up to 32 now... supposed to be moving off... some sun later... On the way to DS house, then check for calves, sure hope not.... and then have to go feed...

I'm not against it... we really need moisture, so will take it any way we can get it... 1-4 inches expected according to local forecast...

Thanks @fuzzi ... yeah we got lucky on the "not icy roads"... Sun is out.. down to 24, but should get into the mid 40's today. No breeze that I can see so ought to be decent. Eating a bowl of oatmeal, the "old fashioned" kind that takes several minutes to cook. Finally found where I had...

AMEN TO THAT.... AI is going to be more of a disaster than people realize... because it can and will be used against "the masses" and it cannot grow the food we eat. Automation does and will continue to make some farming jobs easier, or faster, but when it comes down to it, NOTHING will...

Tuesday eve... It was a cold wet morning... there was ice on the trees and explorer... but roads were okay... we left at 3 or so... no trouble just raining... but temps were 30... got set up, tested... They are back up in numbers to 550.... got done and finally left there about 11:00.... then...

Use fishing line... sunlight will glint off it... it will move a little in a breeze... it will throw them off from diving down.... Plus fishing line is cheap... criss-crossing to make them afraid to get tangled in it... Or get some out of season, cheap netting for fruit trees... string it out...

Well, in for the night... I never did get the chicken stuffed and roasted yesterday ... and it will wait for tomorrow... It is vacuum packed so it ought to be fine for another day in the fridge... I went to the green barn and got chicken feed from my feed bin... then went to the barn and got a...

Bulls like that do not stay here... NO excuses... We have anywhere from 6-10 bulls... and if they get destructive.. tear stuff up, get out, they get a new home... Preferably as bologna and processed meat... Things happen, and some things are going to get messed up by animals... but to...
