A few weeks ago, perhaps against better judgment, I took the kids to our church to see the Florida Orchestra perform George Frideric Handel's, "The Messiah", which is no less than 2.5 hours long. Lynn was away on business so our neighbor came to help (God bless her). We made it to intermission. Long enough to hear one of my favorite pieces in the opus, "Unto Us A Child Is Born," which quotes Isaiah 9:6, "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." I have been pondering the "government" part ever since - as it seems our government is run by anyone but Jesus. I have seen it also translated as "sovereignty", meaning supreme power or authority. Fast forward a few thousand years to Jesus himself. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) I rejoice that God loves us enough to finish this story. Sovereignty does not rest on the shoulders of ______ (insert name, company, global governing body) because Jesus overcame the world. Merry Christmas, friends.
This is where “hen pecked” comes from, I’m convinced. Hens are murderous animals with little chicks if you don’t take time to introduce them safely. This is how we’ve done it successfully.
Our dairy cow, Maisy, is way overdue for her first pregnancy. But, we learned that speed will not be part of this process. Here's what I've learned so far about artificially inseminating a cow, and all the steps involved.

Happy Father’s Day to all the heroes who show up for the crazy farm projects, fishing trips, kilt festivals, and hurricane parties!
With your chicken posts, I thought I might suggest heritage breed turkeys also. We had a lone hatch-out, that now believes I'm its mom. (That's its dad - mom is on her nest.) It loves car and bike rides. Watching videos with me, and has been known to snuggle.
Didn't think I'd like turkey's. Now I think everyone needs a turkey.
As for utility, the male protects our flock both by sheer size, and also calling when eagles fly over. We can eat the eggs, hatch them for more food or mates, or sell the hatchlings. For this one (Nugget), if it's a girl, we'll keep it. If it's a boy, people have lined up to adopt it.
The one downside, the males are a bit of ummm... a "Texas leg-hound" to put it politely.
How is the currency collapse being kicked down the road? Private equity. We will be marketed all manner of private "alternative" financial products. I am sure they will play to views against establishment banks. To rob people blind. It's all the same money game, with a new middle man.
