Keep track of what is happening on the farm!
Raising Cornish Cross Chickens on Pasture
Here at CoveyChase Farm we raise our chickens on pasture using Chinese White Guard Geese to protect against arial predators.
Working a Lamb on Pasture
During the first part of this video you will see how I try to always work my sheep, which is on pasture, with minimal stress.
Preparing for the Winter Storm
With the wind chill temperatures, dropped to -35 degrees the week before Christmas 2022.
Grabbing Goats, Barn Clean-up and More
I take the four goats off to market and get some chores done around the farm.
The VLOG is Back! Farm Update
After a few weeks without a VLOG we are back up and running! Get a quick update on what is happening on the farm as we begin preparations for the 2023 season.
Building a Catch Pen for Pasture Raised Chickens
When you raised TRULY free range meat chickens getting them caught at processing time can be problematic. I have hopefully improved our catch pen for the second batch of freedom ranger chickens.
High Temperatures Make Farm Life Difficult
Follow along as we try to keep our chickens on the pasture, in the brooder and cattle safe and healthy from record breaking heat.
Chickens Off to the Processor
Our first batch of Freedom Rangers in 2022 are off to the processor. Plus I detail the Chicken Economics of this first batch.
When Chickens Overlap
What happens when your math is incorrect and you end up with two batches of chickens on pasture at the same time? Watch to see how we handle big chickens and their little brothers on pasture.
Using a Turbo Saw on the Farm
We get the opportunity to clean up some invasive brush with a Turbo Saw from DFM out of Oklahoma.
Flip Flops & Farming? Why Not!
It is a fact everyone is happier when wearing flip flops. A little mowing on the tractor, in the sun, allows Farmer John to enjoy a flip flop afternoon.
Morning Chores!
What must get done every morning on the farm? Check out the Farm VLOG to see the routine that ensures happy and healthy livestock.
Steers, Bulls &…Spouses 😲
I solicit the help of my farm wife to work up forty seven 650 bulls/steers. We survived!
Chickens Out on Pasture!
The first batch of Freedom Ranger broilers have graduated from the brooder to the pasture.
Baby Chicks and Lambs! Just in Time for Easter.
Come along as we get our one week weights on the baby freedom ranger chicks and bring in four new ramb lambs from Shepherd’s Nest Farm and Travis May.
Farm VLOG #11 - March 2022
Watch how we receive and begin the brooding process of the 152 boiler chicks that will be truly raised on pasture once they are old enough to live without supplemental heat.
Farm VLOG #10 - March 2022
The week starts out with rain, then abundant sun and temperatures reaching 70 degrees, and then ends with 4 inches of snow and temperatures in the teens. Kentucky Spring! Maybe even a little high school basketball.
Farm VLOG #8 - February 2022
A full week of rain allowed us to get the broiler chicken brooder built. We are now ready for the 150 Freedom Ranger chicks coming to the farm on March 15th.
Farm VLOG #7 - February 2022
We begin accumulating the 2022 stocker calves. Come along as we visit a stockyard and bring the calves home to CoveyChase Farm.
