Wild Visitors

Last week, we had a couple of deers browse in our pasture. The buck was pretty nice. While they were in the pasture, the goats were pretty freaked. Here is a pic of the buck:


Today, the whole deer family visited us. They were in the garden, I forgot to close the gate the day before. Fortunately, not much is growing right now. As we walked on the deck, they got nervous and walked out while I was taking the picture. There were a buck, a doe and 3 fawns.



During the past month, we processed our two bronze turkeys, and our 15 broilers. Out of the 15 broilers, one was killed by a predator, one died of a heart attack, and two were injured. We processed 11 out of 15. They were 12 weeks old Cornish. Next year, we will probably stick to red broilers.
