Don't you just hate when you type a great entry and then the computer crashes? I guess I'll try again and save this time! It's been one of the busiest weeks in memory. Moday was for running errands in town (20 miles one way) while Dan mowed hay....

Well, we knew the school buses would be rolling by beginning this week, but we were hoping for summer to stick around a bit longer since it took so long to get here. Over the weekend it seemed cool and almost fall like, and our low overnight temperatures...

It's time to haul the rest of the hay for this year. 20 tons to go. I call it my "concentrated strength training" for the year. One thing about it, I sure don't need a gym membership! I still use the small square bales. ...

We went to a farm auction on Wednseday looking to pick up some equipment to make haymaking easier. Although the hay loader went out of our price range, we were able to pick up a dump rake. It was quite the conversation piece; many of the older men...

We have all our hay! This year we found a new hay farmer just a few miles from our ranch. He has a beautiful 8 acres of timothy/alfalfa mix that was just planted last year and this was the first cut on the field. What beautiful hay. Young,...

Today was a first. Although we've hatched hundreds of chicks this spring and a good number of ducklings and geese, we've never hatched quail before. This morning I had 2 in the hatching tray of the incubator. They are so small! The...

We usually buy our hay from a neighboring farm here in town. I am not sure if it is common knowledge or not, but hay, like most any other commodity in the world, comes in a variety of qualities. There is good hay. There is bad hay. And...

After looking at what a feed troughs cost at our local Tractor Supply I decided it wasn't even worth buying them even with being tax exempt!
