Guinea Fowl Raising // TIPS (We Wish We Were Told) For Raising Guinea Fo...

This is our FIRST time ever guinea fowl raising and in a very short amount of time, we have had to learn some hard but extremely valuable lessons!

Our first set of guinea keets arrived on June 16th, and after losing around 8 of them over the course of the first week, we began our mission to learn as much as we could about raising these interesting little birds. By the time our second set of guinea keets arrived approximately 5 weeks later, we were feeling a lot more confident about how to raise happy and healthy guinea fowl.

Recently, we completed the final stages of building our guinea fowl coop and made the transition of moving the guinea fowl to their new home! All in all, it has been an enjoyable and rewarding experience! ☺

In our latest video update, we share all of the helpful tips (we wish we were told) to raising guinea fowl, our reasons for wanting to start guinea fowl farming and a sneak peak of how the guineas respond to their coop for the very first time! We'd love for you to watch it and share your feedback with us!

SIMPLE Sheep Barn Ideas // Updating our Barn for Sheep + (Greedy) Cows!��

Oops...Mike did it again.
This week we added yet another 2 sheep to our family farm, which now brings our herd of sheep up to 4 adorable, furry friends. (I won't even lie though...the sheep are my FAVORITE animal here on our farm.)
Being that we're located on 6 acres, we rotate our livestock between 3 pastures and we have to conserve as much space as possible. A few days ago, we moved two of the adult cows into the same pasture as the sheep...and let's just say: they're GREEDY!
In our latest video update, Mike installs a simple sheep barn idea that helps to keep the sheep and cows together still, but also prohibits the cows from getting into the sheep food. If you're in need of a budget friendly way to raise your sheep and cows together too, we'd love for you to watch and leave us your feedback!

An Efficient Pig Pen Setup!! // Best Pig Pen Design Plans (For NEW Pig F...

It's hard to believe that we started our farm, with just three little pigs, almost 2 years ago now.
We'll be the first to tell you that pig farming has been rewarding for us in so many ways, but it is also crucial to know exactly what you're getting into before you get started.

One of the questions we have gotten the most is "exactly how do you get started?"

The first step is in making sure you have an efficient pig pen set up. You want to have a well-thought out process for how you will care for your pigs, load and unload your pigs and potentially even raise them free-range, in order to give them the absolute best quality of life.

In our latest video, Mike gives a tour of our pig pen setup and provides the valuable lessons learned during our time as pig farmers. Whether you're a new pig farmer, searching for the best pig pen design plans or you just enjoy watching videos of cute little pigs on YouTube, we hope you take the time to check it out and leave us your feedback!

Cheviot Sheep Have Arrived! // Raising Sheep for Profit (+ Why we chose Sheep vs Goats)

Well...Mike has officially lost all control! 🤣 This week even MORE animals have been added to the farm, as we've just welcomed two new cheviot sheep! This is our first time raising sheep and we are so excited about it. We've also uploaded a video to our YouTube channel where we show you how we have prepared for raising the sheep and why we chose raising sheep vs goats. Whether you want to start raising sheep for meat, raising sheep for wool, are looking for potential farmers to buy sheep from, OR just enjoy watching videos of cute little cheviot sheep - be sure to check it out! Also, we'd love for you to participate in our poll below the video and help us to name the sheep (because we're still very much undecided!)
