The black, white-faced heifer is in heat and the steer is riding her like a tricycle all around the pasture. Kind of like watching an 80 year-old Romeo trying to make time with the pretty girls. She isn't standing for it.
Spring is in the air.
ReplyDeleteThat steer is gonna 'spring' something... LOL
ReplyDeleteWe are having our traditional St Patrick's Day Storm here in da U.P. so I ordered .$215.27 of seed for this spring. And some extra as you can usually buy double, or more, of the seed for the same price if you shop dealers that cater to commercial growers. And if you have a booth at the local Farmer's Market, or provide produce to someone that does as I do, you can get a commercial discount. And having some stashed isn't a bad idea either. ---ken
ReplyDeletePlanted peppers today here in Copper Basin Alaska today hoping that I’ll be able to keep the green house warm when they need to be transplanted. Will start tomatoes in a week or ten days. Green house has a wood stove but it won’t hold a fire over night so multiple trips to feed it!
ReplyDeleteReference a wood stove in the greenhouse. You might want to look up Crimean Oven. The quick and dirty rocket mass heater.
ReplyDeleteWorks well burns full throttle green pine very well and the heat is slowly released by the warmed dirt floor. Big hot clean burn, for hours of heat.
As my area is known as the Granite State my spring installation is going to be in my raised beds of my expanded greenhouse.
My two 12 x24 hoop houses have raised beds. Up here in my part of Alaska I figure on putting crops that can take some frost and seeds can be planted May 10 or so and squash and beans the next week with a tank top propane heater for frosty nights. We can have a frost any month of the year but June and July are rare!
DeleteSounds a bit harsher than my area (Grow zone 4b). I have plenty of pine to feed my Crimean oven and rocket mass heater. It's nice to be able to burn the branches the storms knock down off my many pines. I don't have a propane tree on my property :-)
DeleteThe mass heater holds the fast hot burn for many hours.
March breeding=winter calving.
ReplyDeleteHard on man and beast, especially heifer and new calf.
Last two weeks of April would be prime for having the calf hit the ground. I think that would be July breeding
