Finally I found original photo of ram, which I mentioned in earlier post. Behold the HORNS! 🐏 No, he wasn't lying like this because of burden of this, he could stand up and reach to people's hands when sometimes kids was giving him grass. But these horns reached also ahead, almost in line with his nose and mouth. I wonder if it would be a problem when they would grow longer, also in front direction, effectively blocking him for reach grass growing on ground or food in trough, I touched these horns because nobody said touching them doesn't bring good luck :blobcat_amused:#sheep #ram #horns #photo #photography #animals #farm

#Farm #Rural #Cows #Iowa 1/2 Over the last two days, I dismantled a livestock pen that I had built when I started taking care of a few cows during summer. My friend sold his cows in 2023, and the pen has sat unused and growing up in vines and weeds since then. I forgot to take a “before” picture of the removal project, but I found a few photos where the pen appears in a cameo role. (Continued)

Farmers want the Trump administration to overhaul the H-2A visa program to make it more favorable to their businesses. But cutting red tape could cut labor protections, too. https://www.propublica.org/article/h-2a-farmworker-protections-profits-trump?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #Agriculture #Law #Trump #Immigration #Immigrants #Farm #Labor

NEW: ProPublica journalist Max Blau spent a year reporting on abuses of farmworkers. It left him wondering: Is there any way to find out whether the produce he buys at the grocery store comes from farms with a record of mistreating workers? https://projects.propublica.org/blueberries-farmworker-mistreatment/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #Food #Farm #Agriculture #Ethics #Labor #Groceries #Immigrant #Workers

Hey friends, per our recent mutual aid request, here's our update. If you follow @Siiin@pagan.plus, you've already seen something like this, but I figured folks here may be able to support, too, and we're also launching some Ranch related stuff to try to bring in more cash that you all may find exciting! We've added a page on our website with a service we've dubbed "homestead coaching", but which is more like permaculture design on a much more intensive scale. Even if you live far away, we'd love to hear your needs and help you design systems, choose perennials for your climate, reconsider your water use and how you plant for climate resilience, and create a closed-loop system on your land. If you're on a smaller plot and still want help climate-proofing your garden or urban homestead? That's fine! We'd love to shift the pricing to reflect the smaller scale. If you know anyone who may be interested, feel free to share. We're in urgent need of funds, and we really do have a lot of value we can share. We will continue releasing newsletters, and paid subscribers there also help bump us towards feeding ourselves! Thanks friends, hoping you're staying cool out there. https://rancholibertad.com/homestead-coaching/ #Farming #UrbanFarming #Homestead #Homesteading #Gardening #Farm #SmallFarm #FoodSovereignty #Resilience #ClimateChange

Preparing to shut down the garden for summer as temps just hit 110s (after a week of perfect 70s no less). Pulled what corn I could, only four ears matured this season but we'll dry and store it and try again at the end of summer. The squash are still holding on, most of the sunflowers are about ready to cut and bag, and I'll be caging the tomatoes to see if they'll produce through the summer. Our kale is little but I'll be cutting it this week, and there are a few onions to pull and age also. With that, the garden will be just about ready to turn over to the chickens for the season! Nopales harvest is officially done: our yield was 14 pounds all said, and I could have cut more while still leaving pads to grow on the cacti, but I maxxed out my capacity for cleaning and preparing them for storage. We gave some away, have some still fresh in the fridge (what we haven't cooked already) and I have 7 quarts of nopalitos fermenting on the shelf. It's so odd how inverted our seasons are compared to most of you: as you enter your season of fertility we are mostly shutting down, preparing to rest the land through its harshest months before having another growing season in late summer. Though we aren't done! The mesquite pods come mature around the solstice, and in July or August las tunas (prickly pear fruits) will be ready for harvest also. #Gardening #Zone9 #Mojave #Permaculture #Farm #SustainableFarming #IndigenousFoods
