New Barn Stall

We got the milking stall built but being that the cow is not here yet Bullseye has made it his home. We will build a second stall for him to use in the winter and eventually cement this one for milking.

We also completed one of the movable chicken coops. It does not have the tarp on it yet but no need for that until we have the chicks. We will build a few of them and have all the meat birds in different ones including a pen of turkeys.

The proud builders of the coop! They worked hard. They should be proud!

We have decided to get a different cow than the one we were going to get. Scarlet was not getting bred so we decided to take her sister, Britney, instead. She is going to calf in October and if it's a heifer calf we will trade her for Scarlet or another milk cow. So bottom line is by spring we could have 2 milk cows. It was just a better option for us. The bad thing is that Britney is only giving us a gallon a day and will soon give us nothing. We will have about 2 months of no milk. But by November we will have LOTS of fresh raw milk!
