After eleven days away from the farm, were Blind Hog and Acorn even missed? Sam had farmsitter, goats and poultry on auto-pilot pretty much… ANYWAY, there is just too much to cover in one or two more podcasts so Acorn wants to break things down into three “travel episodes” to rehash all the fun travel details. The TruthContinue reading “Season 4, Episode #39~ Blind Hog and Acorn Returned”

Season 4, Episode #37~ Art Museum Trip and the Passing of an Old Cow…
After last week’s podcast Acorn realized that old Lulu the cow was not doing well, so she eased Lulu out of her mortal coil and Blind Hog carried the 17 yr old cow up to the north 40. Sadness, but how many cows live that long and have such a good life? Not many IContinue reading “Season 4, Episode #37~ Art Museum Trip and the Passing of an Old Cow…”
Season 4, Episode #36~ Field Trip Day Off the Farm
Blind Hog and Acorn got up WAY before the crack of dawn and drove to Jeff City to attend a Parasite Management in Small Ruminants seminar, hosted by Lincoln University. Acorn thought, “might as well- it is free” and danged if she did not learn something new. After lectures and hands-on with sheeps (checking theContinue reading “Season 4, Episode #36~ Field Trip Day Off the Farm”
Season 4, Episode #35~ Acorn Has Not Fixed the MF 35… Yet…
Ugh! So frustrating. Good news is that the ’61 MF 35 has a new distributor cap, rotor, points, condenser, coil, and negative battery terminal wire and clamp. It ran like a top for 45 min after Fred worked on it for 2 hrs, now it is acting up again… Either a: governor rod/linkage or b: still somethingContinue reading “Season 4, Episode #35~ Acorn Has Not Fixed the MF 35… Yet…”
Season 4, Episode #34~ Acorn Returns
Ragweed, humidity and a return from Texas. other than that, not much else shakin’ at the farm. Massey Ferguson still being worked on, but the list of problem-causing items is being diminished. Old Frank was in fine shape for Acorn’s visit, was good to see him and meet the other family. Sam got skunked, soContinue reading “Season 4, Episode #34~ Acorn Returns”
Season 4, Episode #33~ Poor Blind Hog…
Acorn is taking off Friday morning for a weekend visiting The Goat Man, ol’ Frank, in San Marcos TX. Therefore, Blind Hog and Sam will be left to man the conn in her absence. This week has been full of old tractor mechanic funs, problem is getting closer to being solved but not quite there yet… Acorn did getContinue reading “Season 4, Episode #33~ Poor Blind Hog…”
Season 4, Episode #32~ The Rain Cometh, Again…
**Internet is VERY slow and the podcast is not wanting to upload… We will keep trying** Another couple bands of possibly severe storms headed to SteelMeadow- has been pleasantly rainy, but oh! That humidity! Miss Massey the Tractor is acting up, goats are moved from west to west fields, gooses continue their yard patrol and hummingbirdsContinue reading “Season 4, Episode #32~ The Rain Cometh, Again…”
Season 4, Episode #31~ If a Tree Falls in a Forest…
THREE trees down in one week (as far as Blind Hog and Acorn know) and much firewood will be the result from two of them- the latest tree to fall was a sycamore and it is not much punkin’ for burning… July ended with 6.5″ of rain so small wonder the trees were “loose in the ground…”Continue reading “Season 4, Episode #31~ If a Tree Falls in a Forest…”
Season 4, Episode #30~ Sweating to the Oldies…
Has been a good 10 years since the farm has witnessed such a long heatwave, and it isn’t even August yet… Good thing Savanna goats are heat tolerant! The honey extraction worked well- about 7 gallons of dark amber spring honey. Deeeeelicious! Acorn is selling camera equipment so she can get a new camera thatContinue reading “Season 4, Episode #30~ Sweating to the Oldies…”
