A Memoriam in Advance

It looks like the black bull, Oreo, may end his career early. He has the springtime Steve McQueen impulse of a typical Holstein, and we are getting tired of cattle rustling. So are our neighbors.

The new chickens, on the other hand, have been pretty easy to deal with this year. They are Buff Brahma Bantams. Jim & the Farmhands made a new coop, and Jim's dad gave us a great idea for a light, moveable playpen made of PVC & chicken wire. Too bad we didn't think of this when the Farmhands were small.

Skyhammer Farm Reality Show

Don't you think we need a reality show about farming?

Especially for all of us part-time, small-scale farmers. We chip away at that mountain of chores before and after our day (or night) jobs. We get most of it done by the skin of our teeth, and often find ourselves improvising, flying by the seat of our pants. It could be pretty entertaining television.

Too bad we don't have time to pitch a reality show to anyone, and there's really no room for a camera crew here. But we might be able to manage a blog.
