NEW YEAR NEW THREAD
Continuing from the thread from last year (if I made it last year I forget lmao), the time has come to make resolutions and reflect on what we set out to do last year. What do you want to accomplish this year, and what did you want to accomplish last year? Did you accomplish what you wanted to last year? If so, how and did it work out how you planned. If not, why not?
Last year my goal was to build a second paddock and expand our current goat herd. This got accomplished this year, however we've been revising the system of paddocks to maximize on grazing and browsing space and it may end up not being as useful as originally intended. We got a bunch of goats for free and we've had two births so far. This was nice but our goals are changing.
This year, I'd like to grow at least 200 lbs of potatoes. I think this is a pretty reasonable goal with the tractor I managed to get ahold of last fall. Additionally, we're going to need to build a house this year so getting that finished to a livable state (with running water and etc) is a goal as well. Lastly, we're looking to increase our sheep flock and slowly diminish our goat herd because sheep are easier to manage and produce higher value product (their meat also tastes better.) This goal is simple so it should be easy to achieve, but we need a ram to start getting some lambs going. Buying sheep is extremely expensive so doing this by reproduction is signficantly more affordable than simply buying the sheep but it will take a long time, and much more careful husbandry than what we've done in the past. A ram is about 300 bucks so we're hoping to get that done asap in the spring.
