Orchard Site Updates

I’ve got my fruit tree orchard plan all laid out on the ground and digging the holes today.

If things go well on that front (I need 28 fruit tree holes dug) I’ll be digging up the fruit trees from the old place tomorrow morning.

Selling off the 2 pups and head back here to transplant them asap!

IF I can knock out both those tasks by Wednesday, I’ll be so happy. I’ll have sold all the pups I need to for the move and transplanted all the trees. I’ve already got 1/2 the fencing done at the new place. Looking at purchasing a used stock trailer for myself. If I buy it, it will pay for itself by 1/3 just from moving my animals this once.

I’ve already cleaned up the outside of anything I needed to take with me. Got the electric disconnected from my shipping container. Have a good lead on who could move them for me.

I began scoping out another one of my property lines today. It cuts through a wooded ravine so it won’t be as easy to lay out as the other one I’ve gotten done.

Sooo many things are prepped to go go go. Want to get this move finished asap!!

Below you can see the pre-dug holes where the transplants will go and the last section being measured with stakes and line.

All Available Pups Are Sold

???SOLD???
ALL MY AVAILABLE PUPS ARE SOLD NOW!
Woohoo they are off to their new homesteads with oodles of farm animals to protect. I can’t wait to see all the stories of their adventures yet to come.

I may have 1 more pup for sale soon. He’s not quite old enough to leave momma yet though. Update sure to follow.

PS…. momma is back in heat again. Be watching for the next litter announcement in a few months. ?

Great Pyrenees LGD Puppy Moving Sale!

???Moving sale! $$$???
I have 2 male pups available for sale right now. I will be moving my whole farm in the upcoming weeks and it’s really best for the pups not to be moved repeatedly. The best thing for my babies is for them to go to their new, forever homes/farms now. I usually do not offer discounts as I’m always happy to let them stay until the price they are worth is met. This situation needs to be managed in a way that works best for the pups, not what works best for me.

They were born April 14th 2016. Both parents on site. All pups ARE already working. Acclimated to horse, goats, chickens, ducks, cats. They have all been gate and fence trained. Most are well behaved not to jump on you, although a bit more training is needed here.

??All worming has been kept on specific schedules. Worm them once at your place and again in 6 months.

??I DO NOT give any shots. You will need to begin them on the vaccine plan your veterinarian recommends.

??Registration paperwork will not be provided when pups are sold at discount prices.

??These “pups”, at almost 1 year old, are already working and quite large. They are excited and eager to protect your livestock NOW!

??Click the link below to visit my page with pics, videos, stories, customer reviews and farm updates!

Normal prices start at $500 each for working age pups. FOR THIS CURRENT WEEK ONLY- I will accept $250 each for either male pup. This discounted price is only valid if you pick up your pup in Harrisburg, Arkansas BEFORE I move all my animals to the new farm. After the pups have been moved to the new farm, the price goes back up to $500 each or higher. Hurry before moving day gets here for this ONE TIME ONLY DISCOUNTED PRICE!!

Will also consider dairy breed, nanny goat trades, or calf trades.

Please contact me if you are looking, or know someone whom is looking for a Great Pyrenees LGD addition to your homestead/farm team.

Moving Sale!

I’ve got 4 males and 1 female pup available for sale right now. I will be moving my whole farm in the upcoming weeks and it’s really best for the pups not to be moved repeatedly.

Update:
The female pup has been taken. I now only have 4 males for sale.
I will consider trades for nanny goats or calves.

My only girl pup is spoken for as of now. If the current deal falls through, I’ll update here and accept the next person to get her.

I have 4 males left.

Garden Planning

Starting my garden planner for this year. Each green rectangle is a walk/work path where grass will be allowed to grow and be kept mowed. I’ll kneel, sit and stand in this space to work each planting area from its respective sides. Space enough to pack around square bales of straw, garden tools, wheel barrow, etc etc

The first thing to plant in my area is sweet peas. That first block to the furthest right will house roughly 500 pea plants. Each consecutive block should house the same.

I need to double check this plot measurement before I can finish the planning of this section, but I think my estimation is close.

Yesterday I started cultivating the first planting row with my wheel hoe. Got all the weeds out, now to cultivate once more to make a fine tilth.

I’m carefully creating tiny earth berms along each growing area to retain more rain water through the year as I’ll not be able to water until a well is put in.

Woohoo! It’s garden garden time folks! More pics to come as the progress continues…..
