'Chuck' Update!

Seriously? Why put up with the hassle of mowing your lawn, when a quick call to '1-800-CHUCK' will get you the BEST lawn care service money can't buy! After he mows, he takes a Union Break to chew his cud. No muss, no fuss for you! He also provides free fertilizer. What's not to love? ❤ (Well, yeah. The piles of fertilizer everywhere, but still! He works cheap!)

Chuck's a little dirty from being in the barn up until two weeks ago. He needs a trip through the 'Cow Wash!' (Black Angus/Holstein cross.)

Wow, Chuck has really grown since the last picture I saw of him, which was when you got him as a little calf. He is one good looking steer and I was so inspired that I made grass-fed Ribeyes for dinner tonight! LOL!

The first pony that I got when I was 12 was one that we could tie out to eat grass in the yard. She was pretty good at keeping her feet from being tangled up in the rope. I would love to have a steer; however, our fences are in such poor shape with some sections down on the ground or missing, it would take major repair work to fix it so we could keep animals in the pasture.

My niece, who started regenerative farming with meat chickens & hogs, has added 4 steers this Spring. If the steers go well as a project (& they can add more fence), they will be raising a larger herd in the near future & then I can buy a half or whole steer from them.

I’m looking forward to the look on my neighbors’ faces when I finally get a grazing animal of my own. I intend to train it so I can use it to mow the shoulders of the shared driveway. The rocks along there are hard on lawnmower blades. And the grumpy guy who keeps trying to enforce city-suburb rules on this rural back-country valley is going to be especially fun to watch!
