My son’s first deer! Venison jerky and sausage on the way soon. :)

Thanks Jack for being such a jerk! Thanks in large part to you, I finally convinced the wife to move out of a major city almost two years ago. Now, look at this rough view we have to see since she hasn’t put up any curtains in our newly built, super efficient ICF home on 31 acres.
Now, I have a longer list of chores to do every time I come home from driving a truck… but she’s happy and so are the kids, so I keep finding ways to plug away and make it as entertaining as possible!
I think after we butcher the two steers we have, we are going to stick with just her #chickens and #IPPs (IdahoPastueredPigs), and my (hopefully soon) #bees with the swarm traps we built, #foddertrees, and #biochar!
The goal is to get off the road in the next year or two and just work of some side hustles here… :)

My wife loves her chickens… but, I don’t understand her organization of which eggs are oldest! LOL 😂 I know, as long as they don’t have the bloom washed off they are good for 30-40 days on the counter.
So many things learned from farmers and homesteaders. Why do we do so many things backwards in the USA? Many countries it is illegal to sell washed eggs… just glad we get 8-10/day from our little flock and not the store. These days 28 eggs is like $14 worth or so I think, unless you buy the crummiest commercial ones!
