Hi friends,
The weather is cooling down and reminding us to enjoy these last few weeks of summer!
This was a fun month. I did some work on the sheep yard, made some more hay, and am looking forward to getting the chickens off pasture.
I worked on welding up some rebar to our gates to help keep lambs from escaping from the sheep yard when they are little. This was an idea I got from some friends this spring when I was helping with lambing.
We were able to get a second cutting of hay off some of our pastures and also did a first cutting off another 2 acres just down the road from us.
The broilers are doing very well! They will be butchered tomorrow morning.
I was able to take another trip down to Iowa to visit the sheep farmer that I helped with lambing this spring and see some of their operation during the summer, which was really fun!
A good laugh is like manure to a farmer. It doesn’t do any good until you spread it around.
