Ep. 53 - Tree Cleanup and Removal at Blackacre Ranch

It's time to clean up and remove the trees that were left after mulching out the forest. The trees are really big. The John Deere 5075E did great at hauling away the stumps and limbs. The Stihl Farm Boss performed excellent as well. We piled the wood on the concrete slabs. We look over the effects of a large rain and determine how to manage the collection and drainage of water. It was a fun day for all that came. It was cold too. I can't imagine doing all of this without our root rake grapple from Armstrong Ag (BGR72-6).

Here on Blackacre Ranch we are weekend ranchers living in the big city during the week and ranching on the partially off grid property on the weekend. We are a family with 6 kids. Our goals are to homestead the property, grow healthy food, and build good character along the way. We are new to homesteading and don't know much about it, but we are willing to share our struggles and journey as we learn how to homestead together. Think of this as homesteading for beginners where we are the beginners.

We found the cost of an urban farm too expensive and went rural to find enough acreage to do what we wanted. We wanted larger animals such as bison and highland cattle. We are game for other animals with one requirement, they have to be sufficient enough to be handled only once a week. We found an old camp property that was run down and are remodeling or fixing it up to be a working and profitable ranch.

Now we can play with guns, blow stuff up, build what we want, and do what interests us. We are located in East Texas. Come with us as we enjoy the ranch life, even if only one day a week.
