A1 but not the steak sauce

Every farmer needs and A1 farmhand, I would like to introduce you to mine.  I have made several posts about the girls doing various things around the farm but as Brad mentioned to me the other day, I have not posted about him much.  This is because while the girls do things like 4H, Brad does the routine work around the farm. 

Here is some of the items he routinely does:

• Opens the coop in the morning where the chickens can free range
• Closes the chickens and goats up in the coop at night
• Water
• Feed
• Get cages ready for new birds or ones that need to be isolated because they are broody, hurt or sick
• Help with moving growing birds to new cages
• Catching “Wishbone” and taking her back to the neighbor’s house before she eats chickens
• Checking on hurt chickens to determine if they can be saved or have to be put down

He recently learned to drive the tractor and today he took the tractor and cut a path to and from the barn when we used the tractor for some other work. 


Here are a few pictures of Brad hard at work....
