Hittin' the Ground Running!

Matt got the feed bin to its destination after going up on one
tire and sliding down a hill side ways, it was a lot heavier
than he thought...

 Well Spring is definitely here at the farm! We are in full swing with animal movement. Everyday we are moving a set of animals. But it's really good to see the animals fully expressing what they were made to do. These couple of weeks were defined by one thing:

One Month of Farming

Moved the ducks onto pasture this week.
The ducks do what we call "the cyclone of death"
when they are scared, you can see them spinning
in circles in this picture.

This week marks our 1 month of being farmers. We still have lots to learn but we are starting to be able to do a lot of things on the farm by ourselves. We have been moving animals around everywhere. Spring is in full swing! Cows, sheep and chickens are moved everyday to new pasture. Ducks are moved every other day. On top of that pigs are still being moved every 10 days.

Third Week at the Farm (Spring is starting!)

We apologize for not getting our blog up on time this week. We have been very busy! Spring is starting on the farm (even though it's still 27 degrees at night) and we are busily preparing all the animals.

Here is our simple electric
fencing set up.

 Working until 10 at night moving chickens out of the hoop houses into their eggmobiles and out on pasture has been normal the past couple days. It actually has been very fun! It's a great time to socialize with everyone. And it's just fun in itself to catch hundreds of chickens at night.
