Current farm residents

We have recently been planning for our garden this coming year. Some goals we have for this year are to educate ourselves on saving seeds and to grow potatoes for the first time. For this post though we would like to give you a rundown of the current residents of our farm.

1 Jersey dairy heifer

1 beef (stock) cow

1 beef bred heifer

1 beef steer (club calf for 4-H)

28 Barred Rock laying hens

1 Barred Rock rooster

2 dogs

5 cats

1 mule named Pearl



This is the livestock that we will be telling you more about in the future. We also hope to include pictures.

Introduction

We will begin our blog with an introduction to our family. We are a homeschooling family of seven. We have four sons and one daughter. We live in northern Iowa where we have 45 acres. Most of the acreage is currently pasture land. We enjoy doing things together as a family such as going to fairs, playing paintball, going to historical reenactments, working in the garden and visiting with friends and family. The most important thing about us is that we have a saviour in Jesus Christ and try to live each day to glorify Him.
