The pictures of the fire were really cool and I loved your dinner!<BR/>That's what I like about living out in the country on a farm. Most of the chores are great exercise and a chance to be outside enjoying nature.

I want to thank you for all the details about your chores. I'm very curious about what it really takes to keep a farm working, and I know there are lots of things I wouldn't think about--like straightening up the hay shed, or deer repair on fencing. And now I know I need to get serious about starting our indoor seeds, too!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081652747471904560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696462107978805035.post-39806608584853964962009-02-24T11:34:00.000-06:002009-02-24T11:34:00.000-06:00Thank you Nancy and Linda!Most of the year our goa...Thank you Nancy and Linda!<BR/><BR/>Most of the year our goats get prairie hay and do great on it. It is fine hay for wethers and bucks and dry does. I like to have some alfalfa in the spring for the new moms nursing kids and especially the dairy goats I am milking. They produce more milk on it.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17664824920459341153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696462107978805035.post-3076334177735500832009-02-24T11:27:00.000-06:002009-02-24T11:27:00.000-06:00What a productive weekend you had!

We have the hay from our land cut on shares, since we don't have the machinery to do it ourselves. <BR/><BR/>Christy - Sure I will do that. It may take me a few days though. :)<BR/><BR/>Mary- I have to be busy, but sometimes I don't know where to start on that ever growing old "to do" list!<BR/><BR/>Melissa - Thank you!

That is just so productive I feel guilty for not getting so much done!<BR/><BR/>That purple fire is really beautiful and you have my two thumbs up on dinner. Doesn't that food take on a different and far more yummy flavor when cooked around an open fire? To me it does, for sure.<BR/><BR/>Just a quick question. Could you address hey types and amounts used for goats? Especially for those of us making our plans to move to our homesteads (or those looking for one) it helps to know what to expect. Maybe a whole post on it to use as reference? <BR/><BR/>As always, I enjoyed your entry :)ChristyACBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18396628757148282551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696462107978805035.post-18305162174598057902009-02-24T03:06:00.000-06:002009-02-24T03:06:00.000-06:00Hey Rock Star, your sunset and fire pics are nice....Hey Rock Star, your sunset and fire pics are nice. I haven't seen bales done with wire for quite a few years. Even our Alfalfa is done with good ol' orange twine. If sumpin doesn't have duct tape or orange twine on it it doesn't belong to us.Lannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018584509455303394noreply@blogger.com
