Season 7, Episode #7~ Art and History…
Blind Hog and Acorn had a busy week- cleaning, farm chores, sausage making and also a trip to the art museums in Arkansas for some plain old fun. Finally getting some decent rain, but will it be more than a drop in the bucket? Time will tell!
Season 7, Episode #6~ Tractor Tires…
Blind Hog was getting ready to load the cattle chute on the buyer’s trailer when OH NO! A front tire was “off the rim” flat. Nothing could be done but to soldier on. Chute loaded, tractor moved out of the drive, and the buyer just happened to have a cordless impact wrench… Tried to reinflateContinue reading “Season 7, Episode #6~ Tractor Tires…”
Season 7, Episode #5~ All the Snow…
About 7.5″ +/- and it is a lovely powder. Has already shrunk down to 3″ in the past week. Bitter cold temps, livestock managing. Goats have even been going out to the fields, even the big boys. A trough deicer was caught in the act of melting down, replacement procured. Acorn went for a coupleContinue reading “Season 7, Episode #5~ All the Snow…”
Season 7, Episode #4~ Snowpocalypse-ageddon…
Blind Hog and Acorn have been good little scouts- preparations planned, implemented and the farm is ready for a 10 day hunker-down, if need be. Plan for the worst, be surprised with anything less… Cattle squeeze chute put on the market and snapped up in a matter of hours- just have to wait for aContinue reading “Season 7, Episode #4~ Snowpocalypse-ageddon…”
Season 7, Episode #3~ Learning about Witness Stones…
Blind Hog and Acorn are going to be refencing, and both had the idea of looking into a survey prior to doing any work.

Season 7, Episode #2~ Free to Move About the Cabin…
Acorn has been given the green light to move about, almost like normal. Who knew bending over would bring such joy? Plans being made for the garden. Watering system discussed… Goats and geese doing just fine. Travel this year may well be limited to 1-2 nights away- Acorn wants to christen her senior lifetime National Parks pass… Continue reading “Season 7, Episode #2~ Free to Move About the Cabin…”
Season 7, Episode #1~ New Year, New You…
Blind Hog and Acorn muddled through another year on the farm. 2026 looks to be most interesting, like the farmers need anything more interesting… Normal and dull sounds quite lovely, actually. New Year’s Eve featured fresh ham, New Year’s Day had the usual ingredients. Acorn is thinking about the garden, Blind Hog continues being “farmerContinue reading “Season 7, Episode #1~ New Year, New You…”
Season 6, Episode #50~ What a Way to End the Year…
The weather is just CRAZY! Farmers are not really complaining about the 30-40+ temps above the usual average for this time of year, but 82F going to 30F for highs? That is just not fair. A very merry Christmas was held at the farm and what follows is Acorn’s birthday a couple days later. FeastingContinue reading “Season 6, Episode #50~ What a Way to End the Year…”
Season 6, Episode #49~ Done Kidding?
Yay! Kidding was an eleven-day affair… Now the farmers have a break until March. Acorn’s recovery is going along great- moving well, taking precautions. Weather has helped improve spirits for all concerned. 2025 quickly coming to a close, Christmas just around the corner. Where did the year go?
