We moved 2 months ago to our new homestead. We brought our cows with us, but because we have been so busy we have not milked Ladybug at all for the last 2 months.
Luna our Calf has been "on" ladybug this entire time, milking her for us. We use the calf sharing method with our cows so that we have the ability to not milk everyday. We were not sure what 2 months of NO MILKING would do to her production.
Today we milk her for the first time. Let's see what happens.

In an upcoming episode of the Homesteady Podcast we talk about selling our old homestead in CT and Moving to PA.
In this video we talk about one of the saddest mornings of my life. After spending years building a beautiful little homestead from the ground up, we were leaving Squash Hollow Farm forever.
While we were excited to go to our new home, leaving the place with so many memories, a home we brought 3 little babies home to, was very hard to do.
We discuss the final morning moving out, and the mix of sadness and chaos that goes along with it.
The whole podcast episode will be released the first week of April, if you would like to subscribe to our podcast do so here -

How to add a door latch for your barn doors that works from both sides. Adding latches to the barn doors is a must, but is especially important that you add one that operates from both sides.
In this video we share with you the barn door latch kit we use, and how to install it. We also share with you how to ad the cable to the latch so it operates from both sides.
This is a relatively simple DIY project for any homesteader.

After taking care of our animal chores we start unpacking and settling into our apartment.
K begins putting away our kitchen supplies to find some LOVELY cabinets have been installed, the FANCIEST we have ever owned! They were given to us from K's family, who's kitchen in an old house was no longer being used.
We unpack a lot of things into the apartment, and begin settling in.

Automatic chicken waterers make keeping chickens even easier. In this video we share 2 of Farmer Brad's Automatic Chicken Waterers, and we give one away!
These chicken waterers have a float which shuts off a hose feed to the waterer when it is filled. These waterers make sure that your chickens have water at all times.
