Revenge of the hedgerow, take 2!

This year we're once again putting in a hedgerow:
- replanting what the sheep destroyed
- w**d eating
- planting in new stock
- installing drip tape
- laying down cardboard protectors

Still need to put in a tougher fence as the sheep broke in...again. 😅

Sheep escape! I can't overstate how much our border collies do around here. What would've been a hike and workout turned into a 2 minute wait while Kira made sure to pick up every errant miscreant.

It ain't the bluegrass but it's what keeps the farm running.

Rotational grazing is in full swing now! Ladies started into their new paddock with lambs at their sides.

Carrotgate finally ends

By week two the carrots were fermenting, well rotting, in the garage. The sweet smell of carrot stench hung in the air as we reenacted prison documentaries on how to make jungle juice 💀

That was until Neil snapped and a riot broke out. The man might have only been living on two hours of sleep but he was not going to make carrot ho**ch in the garage.

Especially not as carrot juice had seeped out of the plastic bags, melted the individual carrot cardboard box and then dried onto the concrete. Dried like a sticky toffee so everyone has to exert quite the force to escape the garage as it had pooled by the garage door. Even the cats were leaving sticky paw prints in the house.

Out went the carrots and a good power wash cleaned it all up!

Pigs in the garden?!

We just moved the pigs out of the garden and into the pasture. While pigs can be destructive these bacon seeds did a great job turning over the garden.

Hopefully this weekend we can start putting in potatoes, elderberry plants and prep the market garden.

Carrotgate 2026

I saw an advert for a pallet of carrots for 30 bucks and jumped on it. Drove two hours to Grand Rapids, acquired a tonne of carrots, and drove back home in pouring rain to make sure the cardboard boxes would melt. Good thing diesel is cheap!

Probably way more expensive than getting pig feed. You live and learn! Good thing I promised Neil an interesting life 😂

Shearing day!

Beautiful day for it. Ladies with their lambs went though the animal handling system so it was a great deal louder than usual.

Grass is coming on beautifully so they'll be going on to pasture after getting bolused and checked this weekend.

Lambs on the pasture, a little before the grass came in. Cluns are good mothers, got a hoof stomp from one of the older ewes.

While we're out of breeding stock there's availability for people looking for dinner or wethers.

The bacon seeds have made it to the farm. Hopefully they will get quicker at turning the ground

We took the newest employee out to discuss this year's pasture management. Since Alistair just turned a month today, he was firmly asleep halfway through. 😆
