One of our most exciting farming story’s, newly planted cauliflower field when a military tank crash landed in it and dumped 9,000 gallon of jet fuel.

FACKKK... They just fork up our tax dollars for the crop that year and bring in new dirt for you ?

 

[FarmerMike]

188lbs of pork, 430 of beef (only half of a steer)

We will were still able to harvest it. This was 2 years ago…. No one died from it haha

This is Jeffery our pet goat my boys liked her to much and didn’t want to eat her…….so we have a pet goat now. Plus we have about 30 new hatch of Cochins chickens too.

Did you do all the butchering yourself? I was debating on getting pigs but didn't know what it'd take to butcher them or take them to a butcher.

damn! I've been wanting to stock my newly purchased deep freezer. That's a lot of meat!

My parents have now had three cows butchered. It's awesome being able to go into the deep freeze and pull out whatever you want

Yes, my dad was butcher by trade and I have all his tools but I don’t have a freeze to hang meat until I cut it but I have a friend that does and then finish it from there.

 

[FarmerMike]

My cost in the freezer is about 3.00 bucks a pound on the beef and about 1.30 per pound on the pork.

That's good pricing. My parents farm their butchering out and it comes to $4.something/lb

Had a little bit of a ground squirrel problem last month or so... we started out with the live trap and only caught the baby squirrels which my wife was like nooooooooooooo they are only babies....so I've let them go...🤡🤡🤡🤡..

Fast forward to last week. Little shits have completely mowed down 3 of our brussel sprout plants... not so cute now eh ?

Then sniped another little guy last night..

No regurts. #headshotsonly

In other news we lost another Egg bound chicken over the weekend... so we are down to 3 now. RIP Ally Tornado 😢

Trash can is full of death at the moment haha got a rat in there too.

Last weekend my wife forgot close the coop to her 14 chickens and a dog came through sometime between dusk and 10:30 and killed 13 for sport. Our front yard looked like a war zone. Our 1 rooster made it and is super lonely, currently Looking for a couple old hens to keep him company while the chicks we have in the garage grow up.
