Family Farm

My parents and my brothers have started a family farm.  I thought I'd share some pictures of what they are doing to become self-sufficient.

It gets cold outside so David (center) grew a beard.
Devon and Dad decided to grow one, too, so it became a contest.

They bought a tractor about the same age as Dad.

They bought a mama goat for milking and she had babies shortly afterwards.  The three babies are pretty cute.

Shadow the Rottweiler likes to guard the baby goats.  Mama goat is not pleased by this.  She keeps a close eye on Shadow. 

We hope to spend some time at the farm this summer.  If we do, I will post more pictures later.
