New Puppy

We picked up our new guard dog puppy this morning. He is an Akbash.


Here he is in his small pen inside the sheep pasture.


The sun was shining in the wrong place to get good pictures. All the sheep and Kimball came to investigate and the sheep were very concerned. They will settle down but it's been a while since they have seen a small dog.

He doesn't have a name yet. We're waiting to see if his behavior provides an obvious name.

Chicks Arrived

All the chicks arrived this morning. This batch is the 100 red broilers. We raise one batch a year. We keep half for us and sell the rest.


We also got 25 pullets for egg laying. The egg breeds we are trying this year are Russian Orloff, Dorking, Ancona and Welsummer. We also got some Gold Campines since we've had them before and liked them. I hope the chicken sexers did a good job. I hate having to get rid of roosters.

All the chicks arrived alive and so far they are all doing well.

More Beer!

Mike and one of the new fermenters for Revolution Brewing. Installed and working. Soon they won't run out of beer on the weekends! The second will have to wait until they get the brewing facility moved into the new building.
