So did you cut all the timber and stump with the Cat 311?

Did you bring in a dozer to level everything or use the backfill blade and skidsteer?

Way overdue with some update pics. Pics ****** rejoice!

Some of the left over wood too big for the mills/chipper. Fellow tbn'r made use of it.:thumbsup:

A visitor.

Burning the brush/stumps.

Screening loam to re-spread.

More screening.

Last fall after roughing it out.

Upper portion last fall near the road after sowing it down.

Spreading screened compost this spring.

This week I power raked the entire lower piece and sowed it down with Timothy.

And my newest addition, or why I'm building so much field.

One that the city orders off the island due to an ordinance against it. Friend of mine was trying to prove a point to the city, when they ordered him to remove it I said I'd pasture it for the summer.

You need to update your signature line to include the new temporary resident.

Finally got some more animals. I've been fencing the whole lot as well as part of my original land in preparation for some beef critters. I found a fold of 12 Scottish Highland cattle, 8 of them arrived yesterday. It's been a lot of hard work, between haying, fencing, work at the firehouse and excavating, but it will all be worth it in the end.

Once I finish fencing this week I will have my property lines on 2 1/2 sides fenced with high tensile fence. Approximately 15 acres, still 4 more or so to go. (14000' of 12.5 ga, btw):cow::jump:

Wish me luck!
