Again I am sorry that it has been so long since my last blog
post. Not having a hard-line Internet connection at home does make it pretty hard to
get these posts put together.
The turkeys are coming along nicely. About a month ago, I
moved them from the chicken tractor into a ranging setup. They needed a new roost, since the new one one did not make the trip from the old farm.

We also have 90 chickens out on pasture right now. They are coming along well, they will get processed at the same time as the turkeys.
I have worked on a corral to load cattle. It is still very much incomplete, but it worked to load out our cattle to the locker. We tried to load an older cow that did not calf this summer, but she would have nothing to do with the corral, and we have yet to get her loaded up to the sale barn.

We have made some progress on the house. The deck contractors have wrapped up their work. We have started painting the house. Janice continues to sand and stain the woodwork. I made some progress in the garage.

The children are doing well. Our daughter has started Kindergarten and our son gets to spend time out of her shadow during the day. They play pretty well together and getting better at choring outside. It is crazy how quickly they grow-up.

That is it until next time. Deliveries are going well and we hope to see you at a delivery drop soon.
