Homestead Citadel

We encountered an unfortunate situation with a rejected calf and spent the weekend fighting to save it's life. It was filled with ups and downs. Check out the latest video to see what happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2p95klzmgVo https://rumble.com/v6v3m09-can-we-save-a-newborn-near-death-rejected-calf-not-clickbait.html #grownostr #homesteading #smallfarm #farm #farming #homestead #cowstr

The #homestead scale is the heart and soul of peer to peer #Bitcoin local circular economies.

The wait is finally over for our first calf of the spring! #farming #smallfarm #homesteading #farm https://youtu.be/FLdLr3yl-PY https://rumble.com/v6ust8x-a-new-calf-finally.html

It's been a spring to forget making repairs on the pasture irrigation system, but maybe that's finally behind us? I built a prototype compost bin. If it works well and we like it I'll develop this into a more refined build in the future. I suppose after years of builds this is my new approach. Low effort, most value. It takes until the third design to get it right. 🤷 https://youtu.be/0jGWGxdH6Yw https://rumble.com/v6uggmp-irrigation-fixed-new-home-composting-system-and-moving-the-chicken-coop.html

Busy during days on the farm! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWPGcsYrPeo https://rumble.com/v6u53r5-1000-ft-of-timeless-perimeter-fence-finished-more-irrigation-trouble.html

Rough evening. Came home after work and found a calf was rejected by her mom... Likely several hours ago. We've spent the past several hours bringing her back from the grip of death by heating her up and starting to supplement milk. She's definitely looking better, but I'm always doubtful with this side of farming. Bringing animals back around is extremely difficult and rarely successful for us when it gets as bad as it did. She's fighting so we do too. 💪 If all goes well the goal would be to get her back on mom to raise. 🤞

Bitcoiners often envision building their own homesteads and citadels, but the act of doing so is often presented in a highly curated and glamorous light. Not here. Our focus when creating our content is to paint a more realistic vision for what farm or homestead life looks like, while also documenting our journey for our own historical reference. 7 years on we've come a long way, but I still have decades of work ahead. https://youtu.be/fOimEIm_2-Y https://rumble.com/v6tunvf-fighting-back-brush-heated-cow-irrigation-troubles-continue.html

New life on the farm today 😁
