Sent from my iPhoneStrawberries do ok in the spring, before its too hot. The slugs love the ripe fruit though. No poison, because poison in an Aquaponics system kills the fish.

Tsitsikama Beef
Sicelo reports that the other black cow with big horns gave birth to a black bull calf. Very happy.

Sent from my iPhoneSlaughtering a cow is not easy work. It takes at least 5 strong guys. This is the first beef we've slaughtered. This vow was lame. We could not move her. We had to slaughter in the forest where she was lying down, then carry the meat out.

Received 7 news calves bought from Gerrie Rademeyer. They look good. 2 bulls. Seven cows.
They are at Sicelo’s place. I could not get Calfgrow pellets from the koperasie. So sicelo is feeding them pig pellets. I am going to have to organise some pellets through the week, I don’t want to loose any of these.
I think they stand a good chance. They have arrived in spring and the cold weather is behind us.

This cow is badly sick. I need to get a vet out.

Got the rat that’s been stealing my eggs. Back to 3 eggs a day from 3 hens.

Sawmill
This simple attachment turns a chainsaw into a portable sawmill. The great advantage is that this enables the woodsman to walk into the forest, not drive. he is able to process the fallen tree into boards and walk them out again. No tractor smashing the undergrowth, no truck, no diesel. Very Nice.
