Buy the chicken tractor eBook

By the way, my chicken eBook is now available if you want to know more about backyard chickens and using chicken tractors.  More information over at the  chicken tractor ebook blog .  Or you can get it directly from my shop on  Etsy  (.pdf format), or  Amazon Kindle  or just send me an email eight.acres.liz {at} gmail.com.

The story of our house cows

We brought Bella and Molly home in May 2011.  I wasn't convinced about getting a house cow, it was actually Pete's idea!  But now I wouldn't want to live without the company, the milk and the manure that a house cow provides.  Although I could do without the drama...
