October 2009

Milk and egg production has slowed down with October's arrival, along with cooler temperatures and fewer daylight hours. This means less time to get things done on the farm, and I'm finding most of my evenings after work go towards animal chores, making weekends even more precious. This month will be devoted to preparing for the winter ahead -- winterizing animal shelters, tending the hoophouse garden, and making sure the goats will be back in milk come spring.

King of Hearts, a Nubian buck from Humbug Farm, will spend the month here at Argosy. Hopefully I'll have goat kidlings come Spring.
