Welcome from NJ. When you post include some pictures of your "goats.....and cattle.....and rabbits.....and chickens......" it will be a nice change !
Welcome Sig, from another doctor.
I bet you are happy that you acquired TAD back in the day! Aged McClelland is a great cellar to have. I keep trying to tell my wife that all that tobacco in tubs is for our retirement.

Are any of you fine gentlemen ACW re-enactors ? I used to be in the UK and I`m interested to know your regiment if possible. Obviously we weren`t as big as your societies were but we gave it a good go. We had a few pipe smokers in the ranks who smoked corn cobs, but I do remember some vintage period pipes too. If you did re-enact, where did you get your pipes ?

We raise Irish Dexter cattle on our small farm. They have the best meat ive ever had and with 5% milk fat, they are great for cheese, ice cream, bitter, cream and drinking. Really the perfect breed in my opinion. Also, they are very docile and and hearty. They are foragers and grazers for the most part but we grow some food too. All our animals are 100% sustained by our farm.
And, they are much smaller than average beef cattle, making it easier to deal with harvesting on the farm. Bulls average about 900 pounds, cows about 700 pounds. Our chickens are of all varieties, including some rare birds. I get a lot of them from people who no longer want them.... they are kinda designer chickens.
