Here he is relaxing in his new pasture.
And here he is meeting his new big brother, our troublemaker of a bull calf from last fall who has been the instigator of several farm escapes. Let's hope he doesn't teach Fin any bad habits!
We call it a project because there are lots of things going on here. We are a family of four living semi-rurally in our owner-built off-grid straw bale home, attachment parenting, homeschooling, farming and homesteading with two other family members on 10 acres. Our goals are self-sufficiency and sustainability as we prepare for the future while living joyfully in the present.

Our newest farm family member is here
On May 1 (my mom's birthday) we brought our Mini Jersey bull calf home. You can see earlier photos of him here. He is a real sweetheart and will hopefully get lots of work as a Mini Jersey stud when he reaches breeding age. There are already several "clients" on his waiting list. His official name is Muffin (because he's a stud--get it?) but we call him Fin for short.
Here he is relaxing in his new pasture.
