The HOOT behind the Owl...

Natural farm land has not had any chemicals or synthetic fertilizers used since 1994. The Heritage Rhode Island Red hens are night roosting in a converted (and secure) dog kennel and 1/2” plywood custom plywood coop. (The hens have never thanked us for all of the planning and hard work building their coops - yet.) They enjoy their pasture during the day and laying eggs (usually...) in their coop nests. Their prized, natural eggs have been available since September, 2018.

Jersey and Native (also referred to as ‘Heritage’) Milking Shorthorn cows are the next addition with herd shares almost sold out for the first round. The milking parlor is the next major build - along with fence repair... I miss my cows and cannot wait to have them again. They are great companions and conversation starters.

UPDATE; Native Milking Shorthorn A2/A2 cows were not available after a two year hunt. January 10, 2020 two second calf heifers and one 10 month old heifer pure Registered Dutch Belted dairy cows arrived. They are due to freshen March to May. Herd shares are being sold for their fresh A2/A2 milk. We are ‘jumping over the moon’ since their arrival. Gentling and calming work is a daily exercise.

Then, we have hay and equipment storage, shop, sheep sheds and more water hydrants, fencing, and stock tanks planned. Oh, and fixing the driveway so something other than a military jeep can drive up to the house.
