While letting the chickens out of their pen this morning, I discovered the Bantam was a boy. HE barley gets in the third syllable. Next will be his aggressiveness. Gender role confusion will not be tolerated on this farm.
Coming as city slickers from the overpopulated Los Angeles area, having ten acres is huge for us. But once we settled in, we realized our ten acres and farm life was only a drop in the bucket compared to what true farmers have in this rural country. Nonetheless, we are thankful for what the Lord
Rather than a UTV with a dump truck bed for work on our homestead, we decided to go with this machine. We purchased the Razor XP 1000 Premium edition. I’ll be selling my car (which is in storage), and this will become my primary vehicle in the country, and my wife will still have her

When we purchased our new home, we realized that a portion of the land was suffering severe water erosion, and if we did not intervene soon, some of the trees in our woods would eventually succumb to a mini avalanche. When I solicited referrals from one fellow, he recommended Sammy with the Crazy K Ranch.
This will help us get started until we decide how to properly use the lay-out of our land. We’re also talking to an esteemed farmer about purchasing some cattle, and that requires more attention right now.
