Rice Bales.
In the winter when the grass is sparse we bring in rice bales to give our livestock something to snack on. Our son is getting the bale ready to pull off with the tractor.
The Rice Bales Are Really Big.
The bales are to big to lift with our tractor so we just pull them into place.
Hey, There's A Rice Bale!
After the bale is in it's place the cows start to wander over. Mr Tad in the next picture thinks it looks good enough to eat.
New Addition To The Farm!

International Boer Goat Association
We started raising goats in 1991. Back then the average person could not afford a Boer goat and we were no exception. Farms mostly in Texas were importing them into the U.S. and were just starting to produce some domesticly. In the mean time I think we raised and every other breed out there. Most of them were dairy goats. Now before I get a ton of e-mails from all of the dairy goat people out there let me say this, I have nothing against dairy goats! If you need a reason to rid yourself of that nagging cable TV bill, just work full time and get a couple dozen milk goats. You will never have time to view your TV again! To be continued...
We do have doelings and bucklings available. Contact us if you are interested. The contact form is on the home page.
