@zemaj @Luhkoh All things considered, I'm doing just peachy! I'm eagerly awaiting that upswing, and doing what I can to sort of, make my own luck! Big things in the works!
Meat sheep seem like a good start, my fence is good enough in some spots, but would require quite a bit of touching up in others. I'm thinking about goats for a few years, since they will clear a lot of the scrub off the property. I've tried my hand at cutting the cedar down for posts, miserable work and hardly worth the effort pay wise. I've always been interested in aquaponics, fish and plants working in tandem. I have enough space to get a good sized operation going, just need some time to recover and get my feet back under me. It takes 5 years of worth of effort to get an Ag/Timber exemption, it's definitely in the works!
Ah Hood. I grew up in Copperas Cove, and have lived in this area most of my life. Spent a few years at Ft. Lewis, was born at Ft. Bragg. Small world!
(Edit: I'm minutes off North Fort Hood, just outside of Gatesville, but I think you figured that out from the image, maybe?)
I started a random barb, I'll look into the Barbarian Brothers tournament a bit.
Sorry to hear about your tribulations. That's a lot to process in just a couple of years. Please keep your chin up and hug those kids every day! I spent my lieutenant years at Fort Hood so I'm familiar with your type of land. Do you plan on doing much with it? Maybe have a few cows or goats to get a farm exemption?
We need another Texan playing in the Barbarian tournament... but you'll have to install 1.14 for that. Come on in, the water's fine!
