Did We Screw Up? // VLOG

One lesson I’ve learned the hard way is that while it is good to be ambitious with your goals it is also important to be flexible and allow for plans to change. What do you do when your best laid plans begin to fall apart? My thoughts on that, plus we spend some quality family time with the kids doing chores around the farm.

One of the goals we set for our farm is to grow as much of our food as possible. We do our best to keep a garden, we plan to start meat chickens soon (later this year?), and this is the third summer we’ve kept a beef steer. This time we decided to be ambitious and keep two steers, hoping to make a little extra money for the farm since we’re already growing the grass.

You may know about all the grief these two knucklehead cattle have caused us since arriving on the farm and Big Ears in particular is not getting any friendlier. Are we doing to have to take him to the auction before he makes into our freezer? How do we overcome the stress of all this?
We don’t – at least, not without serious help from the Almighty.

Since it was such a beautiful day we spent some time doing chores with the kids. They were a huge reason we decided to buy the farm; we wanted them to grow up outside, learning to care for God’s creation and having an appreciation of where food comes from. They love getting to help out with tasks and as they continue to grow they’re becoming better helpers. But they really seem to enjoy what we’re doing and I’m sure when they’re older they’ll look back with great fondness on these memories.
