The pen the I built seems so big and empty. The fence that I built seems too high. The garden is not at risk. The roses will likely grow back now. Our feed bill will be lower next month.
This post comes after a long deep breath. You see, our goat… Buddy, died this week. I never thought I’d mourn the loss of a goat, but I am.
Living with Buddy the Goat
Buddy was annoying, forceful when food was present and would jump any fence to get into trouble. He cost us so much in feed and infrastructure. A new goat house was built to accommodate Buddy’s unnerving ability to get out of almost anything. The double gate entry system was designed and installed to give us a better chance at getting in without Buddy getting out. He even discovered how to Continue reading Losing A Good Goat to Urinary Calculi→

Two great trees on my property were at risk of being lost completely! This was not something that I was ready to let happen. Nope, not if I could do something about it. The story here tells how I (hopefully) saved my trees (only time will tell). Continue reading How To Repair Split Trees→

Here on the Daddykirbs Farm we like to make good use of every resource. Compost is a good way to do that. All the bedding and poo that is generated in the chicken coops, goat pens and duck coops can go to growing better veggies.

Cucumbers, Brussels, Broccoli, Chard, Lettuce… and feeding Goats
Sometimes it’s extremely difficult to find time to get things done! That’s how I feel right now. There’s so many things to do. The project list on the farm is getting longer and longer. But that can’t stop the garden. A farmer has got to eat and you can’t eat what you don’t plant! Luke and I take some time to do a small patch in the garden tonight. I can’t say that it’s all done correctly, but that small patch is done for now.
