The Bison have started to run over to visit every day when we walk the fence line, but not too close.

We are making progress each week on the bison ranch. After attending the Eastern Bison Association Winter Conference, we are even more encouraged as we complete fencing, finalize a corral, and make arrangements for the first 6 yearling bison to be transported. Artwork from our daughter.

Bison Ranch update!
The last 15 goats moved to their new home yesterday with another sweet 4H family. While the barn may be empty, the Bison Ranch is in full swing. The first pasture seeding is growing, our local BOCES Conservation class comes once a week and is working on clearing the fence line and putting in posts. The water line was successfully located near the old well that was capped by the old milking parlor when cows were here. We will have a "drinking post" installed with water coming up from 4 feet underground to prevent freezing. I was off of work today with my college girl home and we walked the ranch late this afternoon.... It is also hunting season, and while we didn't have anyone on the farm hunting today, never can be too careful so went out in full saftey gear.

First pasture has been seeded. Fence line being cleared. Posts and water line going in soon, then finish fencing. Little cinnamons projected to be on the farm by mid-April. 12 goats remain with the goal to reduce down to a couple special friends.
