Well, all the cattle have arrived. We officially have 1 mini hereford bull named Gunslinger, 2 mini hereford cows, 2 zebus....one pregnant and one with bull calf at side, one mini longhorn with bull calf at side and one F1 steer. We had the pasture sprayed with a compost tea this past Monday...but unless it rains soon, it may be like spitting in the wind. We also got 25 broiler chicks on Thursday. They will stay in the brooder only 3 weeks before taking their place in the moveable pen that will be in the pasture. We are getting ready to section off the pasture using electric fencing to make small paddocks for the cattle to rotate. We may have a few too many cattle on the land right now, but the steer will be heading to the processor soon, and I plan to sell the F1 bull calf. When ward and I went out to do chores this morning, we stumbled upon Dewberries ripe on the vine. We picked all we could find and ate them with cereal for breakfast. Yummy! Ward did finish the last laying chicken coop for me, officially named the "mini-cooper". He does an excellent job on these coops...i think he should build them to sell.
