Update

It has been nearly two years since I posted anything here. I actually found this old blog by accident when I was trying to sign into the Arkansas Preppers Network this morning. Thought I would update a little.

We have a strong herd of Dwarf Nigerian Does that will all kid this next spring. I expect nearly 30 kids. We had our Dexter herd bull stolen but luckily he did get to one of the heifers and she delivered on May 5th of this year the prettiest little calf. I will try to AI the two originals this spring and will wait a while on the newbia as she is far too young and will be this spring as well.

The perimeter fence is done, and we have started doing some cross fencing. We are doing a three runner cedar with a field fence backer. Looks great but is very hard work. This summer hammered our grass and I am worried about the hay situation.

We have soooooo much work to do, but if you look at where we are coming from, those early days living in the vehicles and building a cabin, we are so much better off now. My oldest is in the Army now and my second oldest is married. My 16 year old son is full time in college while the two youngest daughters are busy trying their best to be reluctant learners...lol I plan to build (I have the materials just need the time) a 4x4 smoke house this fall or next spring. We also started clearing for our permanent home. Good luck and God bless!
