The Martinez Homestead

Welcome to the Martinez Homestead! We started off homesteading in the suburbs raising quail and recently moved to the country to homestead on a little more land! Come along as we document our journey as first time homesteaders!

The cow we took to the butcher returned. Final weigh in 405lbs. Three years ago I remember watching YouTube videos on β€œhow to start a cattle farm.” It’s hard to believe the dream has been realized so soon! APTTMH!!

I woke up this morning and heard a loud moo outside our window. Thinking it was just our cows in the back being louder than usual I rolled over to try to catch more sleep LOL. My husband went outside to take the dog out and this is who greeted him πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ somehow these girls and one guy (nose up to the bedroom window who’s voice I heard) got out of the pasture and into the backyard. My friend said some people have roosters to wake them up and we apparently have cows to do that πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ πŸ„

Creating a different currency in today’s economy means using what you have to barter and trade! We traded several gallons of πŸ₯› for a few hundred pounds of mulch! HalaluYHUH!
