Bucking A Farm And Ranch

02/01/2026

2025 threw us some curveballs, and we stepped back to focus on family. But the work hasn't stopped: the oldest just got her 2nd bobcat and 1st skunk this season, with the youngest ready to trap by winter 2026. By this spring, we'll be back at it, building out infrastructure for our garden, poultry, cattle, and goats. Regaining our footing and pushing forward.

We've been busy with new calves, chicks, and a kindergarten graduation. We visited the sale barn and made garden progress despite rain and nearby tornadoes. No damages, and we're continuing training this weekend. We've started long-term projects, including grape and raspberry planting, seed starting, and maintaining our cranky but thriving bee colonies.
