Hello form PA/NY border

[JJK]

Hello everyone. I’ve been lurking around for a little while here and figured I’d join in so I could ask some questions now and again.

I’ve gotten it into my head that I’d like to work in the woods with the animals, along with a homestead.

I’ve been learning for a short time with Donn Hewes, who has taken up the unenviable task of trying to teach me. He is a good teacher, and I’m happy to be learning from him.

Hopefully, in the future I’ll be able to contribute to the knowledge base, but for now I hope you’ll tolerate my questions.

Thanks,
Josh Knecht

*wave* That’s a long border, but you’ve got a decent chance of being a couple hours from me. If you’re interested in oxen as well as horses, you might also look up Spring Meadows Farm:

I’m still in learning mode myself, planning my first calves in April, first loose hay harvest with them in 2017…

If you’ve not bought your homestead yet, I suggest you think very carefully about the size. Large enough to make a little money and justify the maintenance of a team, or small enough to be able to afford all the maintenance costs out of your day job. Have a plan C for the situation where you can’t find a contractor to do big jobs right…
