A new herd here at WJ Farms

Seems we have a new herd here at the farm and Critter taught me what tack I needed and we set out to round em up

The area of the pasture where we have seen them feeding was not far from the barn

He showed how to use my highly complicated gear (piece of string approx. 24 inches long, piece of bacon approx. 1 inch long still frozen)

He showed me how to carefully place the string where the herd had been last seen

It was not to long after showing me the ropes we started corraling them up!  

                                                                                                                                                                     On my own the next day and caught one using my new found skill! I am abosolutley terrified to touch em but I can catch and fling em across the pasture while the sucker is still holding on to the sting like a pro!

Lets walk around the farm

Welcome



Come have a seat on the porch with me and we can watch the awesome sunrises like I do most mornings these days.





Two new additions here on the farm.The pool was a must in the Texas heat and Critter also put in a storm shelter. Last year was a heck of a yr for storms and Critter's job was hit by a tornado while he was at work in March (Thank God he was not hurt)so after that experience it didn't take him long to finish it.




My Dynamite Myrtle that my mare chewed to a nub is finally getting it together



Myrtles are bloomin



The pond is full :-) Hopefully we can make it all summer without going dry



Crawfish holes so big I could loose my dog in ! Drives me nuts how they take all my water from my trees and they tear up the pasture

Hello :-)

Hello all! Yes, it has been awahile. Shall we play catch up?
We finally sold our house on Main!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can you believe it? I was in shock. The buyer was normal and it was not like any of the other offers we had in the past. Profit was zero really but to sell a house in the times and in a small town that is fast becoming run down we were lucky and blessed !!! so we are now working on the the farm and catching up up on projects around here. so enough for now and I will catch ya up more with pics a bit later Have a great day!
