Craig put the electric box and wiring  in the pole shed and we had electricity on June 3rd.  Nice to have some light and listen to the “oldies” on WHTL radio!

We got a used cattle head gate on “CraigsList”.  That’s been a good source for local items!  And Craig spends time on “YouTube” watching how-to videos and keeping up with current farming issues and trends.  We’ve been hearing “mooing” in the house – but now it’s time we heard it in our own fields!

The plan is to get 3 or 4 black Angus calves.  And, of course we picked the time to buy when cattle prices are sky high….  We have about 12 acres open for grazing right now.  We plan to “mooove” them to different paddocks and rotate them as they graze the sections down.

We have about 20 acres of hay field this year.  and rent about 20 additional acres to our neighbor for crops but have the option to get it back as we need it for hay fields.  It’s all in the plan.
