Linton-Hornbeck_Homestead

Linton-Hornbeck_Homestead Farming/homestead in the Appalachian. We have cattle, pigs, chickens, and we also have ducks that have settled in and made their home here at the farm.

Gardening and processing our own food is one of my favorite things to do.

๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿšœ Farm days don't always end when the sun goes down.

Brandon has been at it since daylight, and it's now dark as he's finally leaving the hay field. Hay season is a race against the weather, and when the forecast is good, you keep going until the job is done.

I'm following him home now, where a late supper is waiting. Long days, tired bodies, and grateful heartsโ€”that's farm life this time of year. โค๏ธ๐ŸŒ™

Babe-24 had her first calf a few days ago, but today she finally decided to bring her baby out of hiding for us to see! ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ’•

We also discovered that Kathy-24 must not be pregnant after all, since the bull was chasing her around a few weeks ago. Farm life always keeps us guessing!

That means we only have 3 more cows left to calve, and then calving season will officially be over for the year. Between calving season, hay season, and trying to keep up with the garden, it's been a busy time here on the farm. We wouldn't have it any other way! โค๏ธ๐Ÿšœ๐ŸŒฑ

We took a few days away this week to relax, recharge, and enjoy a little vacation. It was a wonderful trip, but there's no place quite like home.

While we were gone, we got some exciting news from the farm. Tuesday morning, we got a call letting us know that Minnie had welcomed her first calf! ๐Ÿ„ We haven't been able to get close enough yet to tell if it's a bull or a heifer, but we're thankful everything went smoothly.

As soon as we got home, it was time to get back to work. Hay season is underway, and every sunny day counts this time of year. ๐Ÿšœ๐ŸŒพโ˜€๏ธ

The egg stand is stocked, the chores are caught up, and life is rolling right along. As always, there's never a shortage of excitement around the farm! ๐Ÿฅš๐Ÿ„โค๏ธ๐ŸŒพ

Nothing says summer like fresh-cut hay and tractors in the field. Hay season started yesterday, and we're off to a good start. Time to make hay while the sun shines! ๐ŸŒพโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿšœ

Todayโ€™s episode features Brandon vs. 20-year-old baler twine wrapped around the brush hog. ๐Ÿšœ๐Ÿ˜‚

Current status:

patience: gone

pockets: full of twine

attitude: getting worse by the minute ๐Ÿ˜…๐ŸŒพ

๐Ÿšจ BRANDON HAS BEEN LOCATED ๐Ÿšจ

Witnesses say he was last seen wandering through a pasture with a suspiciously large group of cows, repeatedly saying he was โ€œjust checking on them.โ€ ๐Ÿ„

After a lengthy investigation, authorities confirmed heโ€™s been hiding in plain sight this whole timeโ€ฆ and honestly, he isnโ€™t hiding very well. ๐Ÿ‘€

๐Ÿ”Ž Your mission: find Brandon in the picture.

๐Ÿ† Reward: bragging rights and absolutely zero cash value.

Bashful welcomed a big healthy heifer calf this morning! ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ’— Mama did a great job, and everyone is doing well. A good start to the day and another blessing in the pasture.

Fresh from the garden and headed to the supper table ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿง…
Nothing beats the first onions of the season! The boys are going to tear these up tonight ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿค—

One season of farm life ends while another begins. The last of the hogs headed out this morning, all while new life is arriving in the pasture. Weโ€™ll miss having those pigs around, but weโ€™re enjoying a little calm before baby pig season starts back up. ๐Ÿท๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ’•

Milly-24 had her first calf yesterday evening, and sheโ€™s doing an ok job as a first-time momma. That little calf, though, is something else โ€” definitely a flight risk ๐Ÿคฃ You make one move toward it and it's already halfway across the pasture! ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ’จ
