@Hinotori glad you got some relief! @baymule free chickens are great 👍 😃 Sunshine is great this morn. I had a glass of wine and went to bed at 9 ish...slept very well not up until 8 am. I was soooo tired yesterday, partly from lack of sleep night before. Feeling human now :old Venturing...

Chilly this morn. Prob will have a light frost out there, only 30.....warming later 🙂 Have had no heat on for couple days, so too cool inside -- turned a room heater on to take the chill off. Up waaay to early but, tossing was ridiculous. Got up. Working today, that'll tire me to sleep...

Not as chilly here 53, but so damp out a jacket feels good. Well, to me it does! Old & cold :old. But I did just have ice cream after coming in from feeding 😁 been craving that all day.

They will prob go to roost at dusk, then lock them up -- it's a chicken thing. Well, mine do all the time:rolleyes:

No leaks now is 😊 👍

Almost 4" of rain, strong winds...wet everywhere! Just stopped about 7:30. Coolish. Saw no damages, that's best I can report. Did I mention it's wet?!? Boots for chores today.

A broody hen is my fav way to get chicks 😁

TX had some wild weather yesterday...news had pics of the dust storms, winds blowing tractor/trailers over...one after another 😱. An interstate shut down with massive car pileup from dust storms. Yikes!! Ya needed the rain that was East of ya. Today the devil storm is sliding thru my area...

18 months has more than bone significance -- there's feed costs, weight gain type (muscle/fat) etc. Plus, when they can book an appointment at processor 🤣. Never thought raising a beef could get so complicated, right? We used to raise 8-10 feeders, own/family use, sell a few. Back then, there...

Being a couch potato this morning. Things to do & no interest in doing them. My mind must think I can ignore the list -- wake up!!! You've got to get moving...do chores, order feed, go pick up! Awwwh. Maybe after another cup 👍🫤🥴

Yep, age...that's what @farmerjan told us about.

@The Porch -- so glad to hear the awesome report on DH!!! Stress relief for everyone. 🥰 @CrealCritter that video situation is horrific and you wonder how a person could/would do this to another being. 😭😡

@CrealCritter those 2024 calves were 2nd calving, right? Think you sent at least one to butcher prior, are others still there?

Few days warm, few chilled, back to warm tomorrow 😄 Finishing 2nd cuppa & ready for chores before going to work. Believe I have a doe that'll kid today, maybe now -- they like daybreak -- and looks like last holdout :fl which is great! I'm only looking for a single, also ok.

The calves are $$$$ on the hoof, too. It's the fresh green grass -- like candy. My goats are savoring any blade they find

Gorgeous weather yesterday! Rescheduled job work and stayed home! Walked around the farm. Need to mow some junk areas, up some fence that's waiting in rolls. 😋 Weekend is supposed to be mid 70s and that's exciting. Maybe I'll get tomato & pepper seed into starter cups! Hopefully, till...

It was still good -- you're alive to tell 😄

Yrs back I raised 2 turkeys, both toms. Ate more than any animal I had, comparative to size. Butchered out over 25#each. I keep "thinking" I'd like a couple bourbon reds -- mainly to hatch poults to sell -- and I think they're handsome birds. Don't eat much turkey, so not wanting a bunch for...

They're the item in focus but, beef is very expensive! Your cows are better than stock right now 😋 And common garden yields -- $1.25-1.75 for one red or yellow pepper? Greens are almost as much. It's amazing. Yep, gardening big time this year.

Move over you billionaires, got 5 more tonight. :lol: :lol: I already have 2 bators. Might set a load this weekend, if laying holds. But I really prefer broody hens!!! They are far better moms than me 👍 about time for that to begin.
