Caught up....I hope your current fencing project can get finished soon. I am not looking forward to starting with 0 fencing on the new place this spring

We do have the electric net fence but living on a main highway we would like something a bit more permanent between livestock and the highway.

Definitely

Everybody will be cheering you on. We have one section that doesn't have permanent fence yet but it's between us and a neighbors so they don't have anywhere to go. I do let my girls out to another neighbors pasture that isn't fenced at all but I have to be out there with them to keep them where I want them.

I let the flock in to the new section today and they pigged out. I kept them in a smaller pen with hay before letting them in so they couldn't eat too much of the fresh grass.

I'm still not done with the last couple of runs on the fence since Teresa has made it a point to let me know that I don't want to do permanent damage to my shoulder so I'm behaving.

I do have several pounds of our beef in the dehydrator making some jerky. There was a couple pieces that were going to be too done so I had to check them out - this is going to be a good batch.

Smart of you.
And her.
She doesn't want to go out and pound posts when you incapacitate yourself!

I think theWe have gotten 5 1/2" in the last two days. The pictures are of a branch of Richland Creek that is about 1/2 mile from our house. It is usually only a couple of feet deep and about 20' across at the widest part.

The last picture is some of my BBQ sauce that we canned. Just posting those because they are pretty.

The red is a Jack Daniels sauce and the others are a mustard sauce that seems to be the favorite around these parts.

After months of drought, we finally got rain. Most of it soaked in, but the rivers and creeks are up. Teresa knows when to tell you to rachet it down a notch. Us girls gotta take care of our bone headed fellas. LOL

Merry Christmas!

Our ducks were swimming in the pasture all day yesterday, we ended up with 4" in the guage with 2.5" in it on Wed stepping in a mole run now makes ya think ya are on a trip to China.........the sauce does look really good and I wouldn't have a problem trying either or both.....

I bet the goats weren't as happy as the ducks @CntryBoy777

The Farm Center (feed and seed) store had their customer appreciation lunch today and it shows a little piece of small town life. When we were there there had to be close to 100 people spread out on the feed sack seats listening to Blue Grass music and visiting with neighbors. I'm not sure how many pork shoulders they cooked this time but last year it was right at 25 of them.
