haha this is so true. I wake up at 5:30 to be out the door by 6 to start chores. By the time feeding, milking, filling waterers and sending out to pasture along with the same for the poultry I’m pushing to get to work by 9

We certainly do. She’s my right hand woman.

Thanks all. I forgot to post a picture of my wifey so here’s one for ya. I’ll make sure to apologize to Sampson for ya lol I’m loving having a collie on the farm. He has great drive.

Oh and we finally have a farm logo

Boy oh boy have we been busy on the farm... I’m sorry I haven’t been in nearly enough but when you hear about our growth you’ll understand. So I got married last November all has been going great. In January we purchased three bred Oberhasli does from the same breeder we got our doe and...

we'll eventually get a farm dog, rough haired collie, farm collie, or springer spaniel. Unless we get to the point of having goats outside at night in a paddock with a shelter I think my rifle will do the trick. Coyotes aren't bad here besides the odd coyote here and there it's more fox and...

and of course every noise the ducks make in the duck coop at night (usually they are silent) I come trudging out with a head lamp on and rifle in tow lol

My buddy had it happen last year during a deer drive. We were standing in a powerline and having deer push to us, a nice buck came running out. He pulled up his gun and I pulled up mine he said "I got it" I heard click and I shot and I got it it happens I just hate it when it does happen to me

GRRRR…. NOTHING is more frustrating to me than having a predator on your property and messing up getting rid of it for good, twice!! Last Sunday I woke up and got ready for work at approximately 7am I looked out my bedroom window to see a really big fox standing in my back yard looking at my...

HAHA I work for west point so ya know gotta support Army.

thanks! I love the Oberhasli breed… will always have them as part of my herd for sure.

Whew!!! What a busy couple of months. Well I got the 2 oberhasli goats and they are doing great. Honey and Trouble (wether) are going to be getting some new friends on the farm. 3 four year old Oberhasli does that will be bred to kid in march or april. All registered, 2 100% ober 1 quarter...

yeah I was pretty spoiled the last couple years being home by 4 instead of 6 but I'll make it work lol

whew… busy month… I started my new job a few weeks ago and I love it… not much time during my shifts as I work 9-6 and instead of being behind a computer I am working on machinery and facilities here at west point. I love the shift however, as it gives me time to get chores done in the morning...

On another note, I am enjoying my mini vacation before I start my new job. My fiancé and I are headed to cortland for a night away and meeting my mom and stepdad for his 70th birthday. It will be great to get a night away from everything but I will be the first to admit that being away from...

I agree, but there are 2 sides to that coin. If I say I am a farmer then the big time farmers or heck even someone with 20 dairy cows or what have you would be like "pfftt 50ish chickens 8 ducks and 2 goats is hardly a farm." and if I say we're homesteaders, homesteaders will be like "pfftt...

yeah I am eventually going to get a few more premier1 chargers and some poultry netting for the chickens and a charger and a strand running for the duck run. Today was my last day of work so now I have almost a full week off before I start my new job. I finally uploaded a youtube vid with the...

black bear sighting in the back of the house near the duck and chicken coops. Fiance heard her duck who was in the coop going crazy saw the bear and scared it off down the hill... this happened at 11pm and of course it happens the night I am working till midnight... I took the 12 gauge filled...

livestock vets that know goats are hard to find in my area of ny, you're lucky. I'm glad they gave you such an awesome price! I love the name Rowdy that is awesome haha
