Nirvana! Tell us about your farm, please?
We have questions!
You breed dogs and beef cattle and grow mint? What else? Any other crops? How many breeds of dogs? Do you have a pig? Why can you only grow mint for four years -is it crop rotation? Do you then use another field? Or do you only have one field? Are you near South Bend? Did you recover your Paddy o'Furniture? How long is a piece of straw in a haystack? Inquiring minds are Inquiring.

More farm posts would be awesome. I loved those pictures a while back when you got a shipment of some silage or something for the cattle and had huge piles of it you had unloaded from the trucks.

Would love to see some pics of the heelers! That must be the ideal dog for a farm. I would be too lazy to have one!

Thanks, Nirvana. Do the dogs have their own building(s)? How many cattle to you have?

The blue female her name is Stompy and the red male is Suede. Suede is the working dog here on the farm. Stompy has ADD so she mostly runs around and pants.

Suede lives outside or in the barn 24/7 all the other dogs live in my house. I do not breed the ACDs. My Chihuahuas are almost all geriatric, 10 years and up. I have 2 intact females. One I am showing she is 2 yrs old and her mother who is 5. I may have one litter every 2 years or so.
We have 30 cows and 3 bulls plus their calves.

Ooh I have another question.... What will you grow when your 4 years of mint are up? Or will you just leave it fallow for a while?
