Fact day Monday

Male goats (bucks) have multiple scent glands that produce an odor that's most noticeable during breeding season (this is why I reccomend wethers to keep as pets if you are not breeding. Wethers do not smell)

* Cornual glands - Located behind the base of the horns, these glands are the primary source of a buck's odour.

* Sebaceous glands - Located around the base of the horns, these glands produce pheromones that attract does.

* Other glands - Located on the neck and shoulders, these glands also become active during breeding season.

These scent glands are stimulated by testosterone, making the odor most offensive during the breeding season. Although the sexually active buck will urinate on his face and forelegs, the buck odour is not in the urine.

This sweet little girl is here to stay! Meet little Miss Evie (one of Minties girls), a tiny fighter who was born quite small and with what seemed like weak ligaments in her legs. She walked with a bow-legged stance, her hooves pointing inward, so we decided to give her a helping hand. Over the last couple of days, we fitted her with a splint to straighten her legs and support their growth. She’s already made great progress, though she’s not quite 100% yet.

I’m keeping a close eye on her, but she’s perfectly happy, bouncing around and enjoying life, which is a wonderful sign. Our plan is to give this sweet girl a long, happy, and comfortable life with us. ❤️

Here’s a fun little twist: Evie was born just a day before my birthday, and I was born with a rare genetic condition that caused bow legs, too. I guess we’re kindred spirits in more ways than one! 🤣

As we quickly approach the new year, I wanted to wish all our followers a very happy 2025

We hope that 2025 is a great year for you all.
I created a little vision board for our year. I have plenty more to add, which I plan to make into an extra large one to put on my bedroom wall to serve as a reminder of all the things I would love in 2025.

A few things on my board include:
-More camping with the family in the paddock.
- Inviting more friends over for bonfires, pizza nights and get togethers.
- Healthy calves for our cows.
- The safe arrival of our 2 new mini pigs from QLD….omg I cannot wait 🐷 🐷
- A successful pygmy goat kidding season.
- To build a bigger and better hutch for Fern, our rabbit.
- Grow more veggies to provide us at least 50% of our veggie intake for the year.
-Hold photography sessions on our farm with our beautiful animals.
-Open the farm for private tours
-Put Hope in with Jordan (our bull) in preperation for having our very first house dairy cow in milk.
- Attend a couple of local ag shows to display our animals.
- Spend more time with family and enjoying the farm together.

I would LOVE to hear some of your plans, goals or wishes for the new year. Feel free to comment below ⬇️
