Tractor Repair

There is nothing more important to our operations as a farm than the tractors. Tractors perform the critical functions of mowing and making hay needed in our horses diet, especially in winter, hauling away manure from cleaning the horse stalls, tilling fields, making our lives easier, and others in the area, by performing heavy duties. The fuel lines were clogged with thick algae after decades of use.

Our neighbors use horsepower for farming and getting here and there.

Pens

Gene built a pen gate for neighboring pig pen.

This is the gate he built for our goat pen in the dairy barn.

Hay Season in Review

It was very touch and go this season with record consecutive weeks of rain.  Last year, it rained non stop.  This year it rained one day a week - that one day is enough to ruin the hay.  It was pretty STRESSFUL  to think of the animals (horses and goats) this winter without hay.

This is the equipment to make square bales - the best quality hay, especially for horses.

It takes lots of capital, fuel, land taxes, and time - for only $2- $4 a bale - it is a wonder anyone does it... but that just shows our love of animals.

As Gene bales - the hay is sent into this wagon which is than dumped by the hay elevator behind the barn.

This was taken on Sept 20th - Gene loading a dumpster for a customer who got hay right off the field - for the lowest price - we are having a hard time getting paid from him.  So it goes - farming -  nobody does it for the money!!!!!

above is a cute picture of Assisi with the hay - just hanging out with us as we loaded the elevator to put hay into the Barn!  It was such a nice experience for us.  Being around young animals and young humans reinforces the gift of life...they are uplifting due to their playfulness and joie de vivre!!!

Goat Pasture Expansion - Project Complete

This video shows completion of our expansion of goat pasture.  Our 22 goats have ample space to browse in the summer - and we won't have to give them hay regularly or bring them into their pens.

Goats get bored with one kind of forage ie. grass - so their pasture ideally has lots of trees, brush, and a variety of grasses.

Here is a tree for shade and eating:

Thanks to Gene we have lots of great facilities for our farm animals!!!!
