Good Thursday Evening from the farm.
Tough day today. Terrilyn had college and I’ve actually been in bed all day due to my back pain. Going to my doctor in the morning for a pain shot and hopefully get some of the swelling down in my lower back.
Meanwhile, I just have to suck it up and drive on, as they say in the Army.
Quick feeding for the animals and a walk around video for you all. I was in the process of making a video showing our back area which we will be expanding into, but got interrupted, so when I’m up to it I’ll get that made.
There has been an animal attack the last 2 nights over by the Goat area. Something has gotten a hen each night, and we suspect it could be a Fox trying to get food since the nights have been colder.
I will be clearing a 2 ft area along the fence line there and we will be putting up more Electric Fence Netting to run along that side.
We installed a double fence in the Chicken area earlier this year after repeated losses, and since that has be up, we have had no attacks there.
The controller packs a punch, as I accidentally found out when I brushed up on one of the lines, so it’s pretty effective at its job.
Hope everyone has had a good week, and looking forward to this weekend. Stay safe.
