Upgraded the gosling's tractor with a swanky watering system that is apparently working fine - goodbye lugging water around like a beast of burden!

Our livestock guardian dog, Argos, is one of the hardest working members of our team. He keeps our animals safe by patrolling and scaring off predators. He even watches the sky for eagles and hawks. His barking is as epic as his snuggles.

The satellite view tracked his movement for 2 and a half hours. He did not stop moving. He does most of his work at night because most of the critters here that are a threat to our animals are nocturnal.

Great Pyranees dogs have worked with humans to protect flocks for thousands of years. As a result, they excel at recognizing domesticated livestock and poultry as their own pack. This sets them apart from other dog breeds that frequently require extensive training to suppress instinctual prey drive around farm animals.

We ended up with about 10” of snow overnight. If you don’t like the weather in Wisconsin, wait a minute. It was in the 70s a little over a week ago.

The dogs freaked out when they heard this:

Farming happens in all weather. Today the chickens and I were almost hit by falling branches because of the sleet storm. Thankfully, everyone made it inside in once piece. Our goose shed did not survive the storm, though.

These dogs live to make mischief and find birds.

The furballs. Each breeding doe and her offspring generate one ton of manure per year. It is a high value, “cold” manure. This means you can add it to your garden without composting unlike most other farm animal manure.
