After a July rain fueled growth that really helped our pastures, we're back into the standard drought pattern. This Super El Nino was supposed to bring a much wetter summer and fall. Unfortunately neither happened. This is all the rain we've received since the end of July in our part of Eastern NC. Even the hurricane that swept through as it made its way up the east coast only brought a quarter inch or so. I planted several pastures with winter cover crop forage but it needs rain to germinate before we start the freezing temps.

We celebrated birthdays around here recently and the kids are always requesting my smoked brisket. We tell them that for their birthday they can have any dinner they want (within reason) and this is the most common request every year. You can see what it looked like when it went on the smoker and then how much it shrank in the 10 hours of smoking. That loss of moisture in a slow smoke actually concentrates the meat and smoked flavor... similar to how dry aging does. The result was something the family requests over and over for special occasions. I'll have to raise more cattle to keep up if we have any more kids. Lol.

It's time to move the cattle through the fescue pasture for likely the last time of the year. Its been really dry since mid-August which has been challenging for pasture growth. The summer grasses have all shut down, but the cool weather grasses have been loving life. The first pictures are of the back of the fescue pasture where its all very green and beautiful. Then in the last picture, you can see where warm weather native grasses have taken root and have died off due to the time of year. They do well in the sweltering heat of summer when the fescue struggles and the fescue kicks into high gear when its cooler in the spring and fall. This is why its important to have a mixture of gra...

Do you have a local farmer like us who have old school freezers and fridges that aren't connected to the net? This is the second time mass hackers have raised temps and ruined foods in supermarkets. If you're wondering how a freezer can get that hot... the hackers force the defrost heaters to run constantly while turning off the compressor. https://www.oann.com/tech/european-supermarket-fridges-got-hacked-again-heres-what-to-know/

Big day this morning! We woke up early and started processing pasture raised turkeys for the holidays! Its hard to believe but Thanksgiving is right around the corner and we only have a few Saturday drop offs for our customers to pick up their birds. We had considered not raising turkeys this year because the cost and time commitment is so large compared to chickens. However, we had so many of last year's customers tell us that they had never had turkey that tasted as good as ours and ask us about doing them again...that we decided to do it again this year. Our turkeys are grazing on fresh pasture every day, never get any vaxxines or antibiotics, are hormone free, and are fed non-GMO feed th...

I posted about a week ago about what will probably be our last calf born in 2026. He was a full blooded Jersey bull that I've banded and will now be a beef steer. For those who asked how he was doing and wanted a check in... here he is a week later looking great and growing like a weed!

A buddy of mine was kind enough to let me borrow his seeder for a few days. He hasn't used it in a while, so I'm going to clean it it up and then after I use it, im going to try to do some maintenance and repair. It's a no till seed drill planter that I can put some cover crop down with for winter and spring grazing. The small hopper will have a mix of seeds like clover and turnips. The big hopper will have fescue and things like winter rye and winter peas. First I have to clean the LITERAL mouse nest out of it that you see in one of the pictures below. Lol. Clearly its been a while since he used it. 😆 🤣

Started putting out pelletized lime in the pastures the other day. Couple of bags had tears in them and the lime had gotten a little damp. What I did NOT know is that there were a couple bags with a lot more wet lime than I thought. The dry lime had covered it up as my sons and I were dumping 4-5 bags at a time. It was like trying to push play dough through an extruder at the end. The agitatator at the bottom just couldn't move it by the end. Took me 45 minutes to wash out the spreader with enough water to clean it. I will make sure we are MUCH more careful next time.

Tomatoes, bell peppers, and string beans are still going strong. No frosts yet for the year. I kind of let the garden go at this point, so the grass has kind of taken over. Lol. We also have a couple of figs that are ready as well. Crazy how much longer the growing season is here compared to the Midwest where we started our homesteading journey.
