These days I have about a maximum of one hour of light to get things done during the week. Out at first light to fix fences. Running around at last light to get end of day chores done. Missing the slow summer nights of sitting with the sheep. Appreciating the time to sit and ponder what things will look like next year and five years from now and then twenty. Having an off job farm demands that we build slowly but surely, but I can’t shake the feeling that great things are happening here.

The long weekend has been dedicated to putting the garden to bed for winter and planning what to do with the garden next year. The budget for next year is almost exclusively dedicated to livestock - at least two registered Dexters, several more Babydoll sheep. I didn’t take the time to put a thick layer of hay down last year and paid for it with weeds all year. So the next two days will be spent hauling hay and spreading a thick layer to try to smother and weaken any weeds that might be left behind and crossed fingers that the plan will work.

Where the sheep are going and where they were.

That little red steer in the forefront was the first calf born on the farm last June. Still pretty constantly at the side of his mom. #dextercattle

I’m sure I’m not supposed to have a favorite cow, but I do and her name is Amos. When we brought the original five home, she was by far the most timid and skittish. She would hang out on the edges, always ready to run away. Today, she ate out of my hand for the first time. Confidently! In the mix with all the other cows!
