"Small Time" Odds and Ends

Rooster continues to monitor the goings on at the farm.  It's an important, yet sometimes over looked job of the "Watch Doggie."

The phoebes have returned for another year of nesting.  They started building a nest above the front door, but I managed to put in place some "scary string" things which stopped all nest building.  Yeah!!!

A big investment in farming equipment was our little plow.

We are able to move the plow where we want it, turn it over to the blades, hook it to the back of the go buggy, and plow out little plots of corn or what ever.  It's a beast in terms of weight and the sharpness of the blades yet it gets right down to business.

We needed a rain catcher drum so we could have water for the small cattle/bull area.  We've had only a couple inches of rain since we installed it (attached the gutters from the barn) and it's full.  It'll take a while to empty the 1550 gallons it holds! 

Here it is attached to the trough.

This is a cattle feeder.  Hmm...

This is a mineral barrel.  Cows come by and lick the hard stuff inside and get whatever minerals they need.  Another hmm...

So what's going on?  All of this preparation for something...  Stay tuned...
