It is so good to hear from ya again!!....sorry about the litigation and losing your ram...hopefully the litigation will be Favorable a ya canfind a good replacement for the ram. The girls are all looking well and that's just crazy about the people messing with your stuff on your property. I was thinking that previously the plans were about moving to another place after the patent came thru for y'all, but that's what I was thinking. Glad schooling is going good and the different job is pleasing to ya. Are ya still working on the silo?
I love guineas and those are some interesting looking pigeons....:)

:frow Welcome back! Geez, I can't even remember the last time I saw a post from you.
People are already violating your patent?:barnie

Here is the link of what we are dealing with
:he :somad I hope they end up in jail. Even my emotional vegetarian daughter that would be happy if people ate no animals wouldn't consider "rescuing" from a farm.

We were also warned by the sheriff when I filed a report, that transients in our area have become an issue and have been going on peoples property and causing damage.
Perhaps, but I bet it is the "activists". Time for some electric fence and guard dogs.

I bought Guineas
And are they as obnoxiously loud as I've read?

It is so good to see you back!! All of us here on BYH have been wondering what's been going on over there after so many months. Love the posts of the sheep and other stock, glad you are defending your patent, and grrrr about the "activists" disturbing your property and animals.

@Bruce My neighbor has gotten several nasty letter from these people too, so we are on a major lookout. They actually disconnected part of my electric fence to move it!! We have changed access to it but we are currently rotating them with a temp fence, so that is the issue. As soon as the ground thaws we will finish the perimeter fence line & then we will have a barely legal fence charger (not playing around anymore!) Its scary honestly, but so thankful I have my dogs to help. Also, I sorta acquired a farmhand who rented a room in our house, so she helps keep an eye out as well.
Guineas are noisy at times but honestly, they have not been an issue. They have been amazing at keeping bugs and rodents down and at alerting me to predators! I'll see if I can find the video of them being angry at me. They free range but come back to the coop area every night. I personally have fallen in love with them :love

Make it as uncomfortable as possible to disconnect the fence. What action/proof does the sheriff need to put these people behind bars? I would think those letters your neighbor got would be considered actionable or are they just "you shouldn't keep animals that will be used for food? Even if that is the case, given these people have trespassed and stolen livestock elsewhere, the letters could be read as a threat worthy of a legal "cease and desist" order.

What can you legally do to keep them away from your property? I guess the "old west" methods are no longer allowed which of course just emboldens their actions.

Sounds like I got out of that "whacked" state just in time! Peoples Republic of Boulder be Danged! Those fanatics need jail time! (or rock salt in their butts). SO sorry you're dealing with the liberal idiots that consider animals as "other people"... What lunatics. Really great to hear from you after all this time! :clap Glad the animals are doing well, your study is doing well, numbers are growing, and that you have a patent to defend! Go get 'em! Try to not be such a stranger huh? Nice having you here. :)

It may be amazing, but it is just one camera and you probably need several to cover the farm. Just more $$$$$
