The Puppies Are Here!! (All 12 of them)
Yes, you read that right...all twelve of them. Wow! Koko is doing a great job as a first time Mom cleaning and feeding her brood. We had no idea that she would have this many. We are first timers at this as well. We have never had a dog that had puppies before so we read alot, but nothing compares to the real thing! And just to complicate matters a little we are going out of town tomorrow. Melissa's parents are coming in to house sit/puppy-sit while we're gone. Right now we are contemplating whether it will be better to go ahead and have their tails docked tomorrow, wait until we get back, or try to get the inlaws to take them to the vet while we are gone?!? On another note, the insurance company FINALLY contacted us about storm damage. Looks like the wait will be worth it. No major arguments about their assessment. I am looking forward to this Florida trip but it couldn't have come at a worse time. I guess the icing on the cake will be if at least one of the heifers gives birth while we are gone LOL!

Welcome!
Welcome to our family blog. We have a small (55 acres) farm and are attempting to raise beef cattle, some hay, laying hens, honey bees, a dog and a small garden. We also have a small pond that has fish in it but they pretty much raise themselves.The Twenty-eight eleven is the name of our farm. It comes from Deutronomy 28:11 which reads: "The LORD will make you abound in prosperity, in the offspring of your body and in the offspring of your beast and in the produce of your ground in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you." We count on God's blessings for our life as we know it so we thought it appropriate to go ahead and give Him all the glory for anything good that we produce, be it crops, cows, or children. This blog will be a fun project for us to document what is going on at our farm and hopefully share some natural ways of farming along the way (as we learn too).
