Well when it rains it pours. It's been a minute since my last post but it has been crazy around here. I was supposed to be gathering cows last week but Jack wound up lame so I've had to put some attention to that. He's coming along but he probably won't be good to go until after we're done...

I enjoy getting building materials at discount prices myself. I actually built my duck coop using all reclaimed materials. We also saved everything we could from the walls I had to tear out for this stove. Unfortunately we do have to get permission from the county or our home owners insurance...

So I got two great bits of news today. First a rancher buddy of mine called to tell me his wife is making him put in a new fence around the home place (she wants metal) so if I'll help with the fence and haul off all of the old post wjhich are still in good shape I can have them to build my own...

Hello all, After writing out my rather lengthy introduction I thought it'd be a good idea to write a little about our little slice of heaven. The reason I call it the Old California Trail is that our property is found right along the old Southern Route of the California trail, also know as the...

Here's Dixie and Kya with our runner drake Chancey (pronounced ChAWNsee) and his ladies Mary Margaret Victoria Elizabeth and Agatha. @CntryBoy777 how do you like the khaki's? It's my understanding that runner ducks were used in their development

Hello everybody I've been looking around this site for a month now and decided I wanted to get in on this awesome community. I live in the high deserts of Utah on 5 acres with my wife, kids, two horses, two stock dogs, 6 Indian runner ducks, and hopefully further additions as money and time...
