Blind Hog and Acorn have had a relatively easy week- morning walkies with Sam, a trip to Springfield. Fence work planning going on along with pasture management and gardening. Morels, asparagus, seed starting… Lilacs and Japanese cherry trees blooming… Kind of. That last hard freeze really killed off a ton of fresh growth. Here isContinue reading “Season 7, Episode #14~ Easter Time…”

Season 7, Episode #13~ Amaze Amaze!
Blind Hog and Acorn had the usual week for chores, then broke bad and went to a real theater movie (Project Hail Mary) and wrapped up the week double-dipping and attending two No Kings events. Farmers are a bit tuckered out, to say the least… Deets are in the podcast…
Season 7, Episode #12~ Happy Spring!
Behold, the Vernal Equinox has arrived! Temps from the low teens to the 90’s in a mere week! Blind Hog and Acorn have been busy… Piddly chores, gardening, goating, limb-carrying… Acorn fixed the cord on the grill rotisserie, by removing the ground fault and replacing it with another… The chicken was delicious…
Season 7, Episode #11~ Spring of Deceptions…
Mid to upper 70’s and and now lows in the teens expected? Spring of Deception indeed… Acorn baked squash and got 6 lbs of pulpy pulp for future cakes. Canned pumpkin, if you will… Even engineered a self closing gate! Three new barn cats joined the farm- all are bonafide mousers and come with resumes.

The farm received much needed rain, and Big Fat Cow finally popped her triplets today. No more waddling around for her!

Yay!Continue reading “Season 7, Episode #10~ DST Time…”
Season 7, Episode #9~ Rain? Maybe?
Will the farm see a week of rain? perhaps. Round #2 of kidding is about to begin, so why not? Trip to KC for auto work, then IKEA. Lots of chores getting done around the farm. Even got watercress for the honkers.

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…”
