Anyone interested in 1/2 or whole pork? 🥩 We have 3 whole available that will be processed on 10/19.

How does it work?

1. $$ to us for the animal (message me for details)
2. Work with the processor on your cut sheet
3. $$ for processing goes directly to processor

We are using Blue Ribbon Processing in Fowler, CO this year. We can work with you to pick your meat up when we pick ours up, or you can pick it up in person.

We are also happy to help you with the cut sheet or any questions you may have.

This girl gets a gold star for today ⭐️ Turns out there were actually multiple coyotes.

We also got over an inch of rain last night, so thankful for the moisture. 🌧️ Unfortunately the hail the other day broke a piece off of the gnome rain gauge. Luckily it’ll still measure up to more than we usually get at once 😂

Well 💩. This morning a coyote decided to get in our goat pen and kill some chickens while we were feeding the dogs. We lost Larry and Chestnut. Phoenix is hurt real bad, not sure if she’s going to make it but we will try and give her the best chance possible.

Skittles saw the coyote and figured out a way thru the fence and has been chasing it. The coyote thinks there’s still an easy meal over here but we disposed of the bodies, closed the door into the smaller goat pen, and we’re reinforcing the fence. Once they realize there’s not an easy meal hopefully they’ll stay away again. The fence around the main goat pen is much taller than the perimeter fence that it was jumping.

(Picture: Phoenix wants to know why I’m holding her upside down lol chickens have the funniest expressions)

Good morning from the farm! ☀️

Hello from drought stricken yet soggy eastern Colorado! You may be wondering how we can be both soggy AND drought stricken, well my friends let me explain.

WE HAVE RECEIVED OVER SIX INCHES OF RAIN SINCE WEDNESDAY EVENING!! 😱 🎉 🤪 🌧️ ☔️

So…what we have is full catchment ponds at the bottom of the property, and all of the critters have lakefront property. ALL OF THEM 😆 The ground up here is saturated.

Luckily it did not all come at once (although several of the storms dropped an inch plus in a short amt of time) so the ground had ample time to absorb a lot of the moisture.

What does this mean in the long run? Well…we have to wait and see. Right now we are focused on making sure the animals are safe and healthy, and mitigating the eminent mosquito explosion.

We were so dry last winter and this year up to now that the pasture is doing now what it should have done in April/May…I’m not sure what that means for long term recovery. We’ve been feeding the herd grass hay out ON the pasture in hopes of protecting it some and hopefully we will get a fair bit of moisture over winter and in the spring to help the pasture bounce back.

Tell you what tho, it sure is nice to hear the frogs at night again after SO many months of dry dry dry 🐸

Hey all! Sorry for the hiatus. My gelding Freckles passed away suddenly on 7/7 so been reeling from that.

This drought has been kicking our butts. We are feeding hay to the cows on pasture so they can enjoy the pasture.

Finding said hay has been an adventure. *sigh*

The calves are all doing amazingly well 🥰

The garden has been…well…it’s doing okay even tho I didn’t get a lot in. Will be trying some late summer things here soon (like beets) and will try garlic this fall. The flowers are doing really well.

Enjoy the pics
