Suburbanites build a fence

Those Oregon plums look luscious.
And if you're not vegetarian,...buffalo is very lean meat to prepare.

Sorry for missing out on other chat about your farming forays. So is someone in your family gonna pursue this full-time or half-time? Maybe a goat just needs to kick around the field and rock boulders without any human beings to interfere for a few weeks.

Carry on. Before cycling passion overtook him, my partner was a weekend farmer for 10 years since he had a full-time job in the city. Farm was about 100 acres, with some beef cattle, pigs, chickens and 3 horses (latter 2 animal types just for themselves). Did not grow crops except hay. He was mentored by an older farmer down the road since he didn't know anything about farming. Also took night courses at a local university on animal husbandry, etc.

That was my partner's exercise,...working on his farm, including building his own house. He loved it at that time. A time before cycling.

So when we bike in the country and pass cows, etc., he does comment on what he sees.

And for heart-felt reasons, he makes every effort to buy from local farmer's markets wherever we bike.
