Barncast 67 — A big round up

2007/05/20 in Butchering, Eggs, Podcast by andrew | 12 comments

This has been a long week, and Misty twisted her ankle so we’re doing the podcast from the ground floor this week. This means the barn will sound a little different than normal, but hopefully it works out. We also changed the format a bit, there’s so much going on we thought we just expand the round up to give you a taste of life on a small farm in the spring.

So in this weeks show:

  • Misty’s ankle
  • Farm Phone: 206-202-GOAT
  • Butchering, and egg laying
  • Round Up: Too much to list

We love you feedback, so please call the farm phone at 206-202-GOAT or please send us an email at gfl@geekfarmlife.com or leave a comment!

    Update Monday Feb 27th: I update the mp3. I fixed the id3 tags, added album art, and change the sample rate to 22.05kHz so the flash player didn’t make us sound like chipmunks. Sorry if anyone had problems.
