My little farm intro

[BarnyardChaos]

Hello everyone! After posting a thread about my pigs and worming, it's past time to introduce myself. My husband and I have a small farm (12 acres at home, 14 more a mile away) just outside of Kansas City, Missouri where we raise some livestock to fill our freezers and some for family and friends. I'm very recently retired from retail sales, so now I've got the time to devote full effort to my garden and all of the critters. Hubby entertains himself with the endless demands of equipment repairs, haying for several neighbors, and managing our cows and those of a needy neighbor.

We have (at the moment) 11 feeder pigs going to the processor in a few weeks, 41 chickens and 30 chicks at various stages of growth (48 more in incubators!), 5 pygmy goats, and a small herd of beef cattle (1 prime bull, 4 pregnant heifers, 2 yearling steers, and 2 bottle calves) arranged on both plots of land. Keeps us busy!

Looking forward to meeting you fine folks, and soaking up some wisdom and stories.

Here are a few of our current projects:

Here's Goldie, the rooster, with a few of his favorite ladies:

Here's "Spot", our pygmy fainting goat. He's a handful!

This is Blackie (gone but not forgotten), with her newborn, Junior.

I almost forgot this one! My favorite photo. My two little bottle calves, Junior (from Blackie, above) and Missy, a rescue calf.
