Wicklow is all grown up! Hard to believe this knock-kneed little dorkasaurus could barely walk just a couple months ago. Now he's freshly neutered and fully integrated into the rest of the Peaceful Pasture sheep herd along with his mama Glenda. But thankfully he's still comes right up to the fence for cuddles anytime I'm there 🤍

Skunky! I love this sweet dork so much. We got another 24 hours with him at our place while he had to be in confinement after his neuter.

Nox was being such an as***le but you need some context to understand why. These boys have been together since they were a year old and now they're old men. Bingley (the white one) is the fluffiest cuddlebug who can look cozy anywhere. Nox (the black one) has always been an awkward, bonky, goofball who can never seem to get comfortable.

So this is Bingley's favorite basket. It's in Sarah's craft room and he cuddles up in it all day in a little fluff circle (you know, like a cat would). Nox knows that and he sat in it instead (upright like a weird log) just so Bingley couldn't lay there. Look how awkward Nox looks. Look how sad Bingley looks.

Don't worry, we set things right as soon as I took this picture!

It's sheddin' time! The cows are shedding like crazy and using their scratching post. I wouldn't say Theo is doing a very even job on his grooming 😂

When ducks are being held, we've found they're most comfortable with their chins resting on our shoulders. I think maybe having our hair resting on their heads is like being under their mom's wings?

Little Alvin has started having supervised visits with the big goats! Theodore definitely isn't ready but Alvin has the size, confidence, and energy to play a bit. Lucy, the next youngest, was the most interested but Monique can be trusted the most to not try and bonk him,

Trinity scared me after a windy night by not showing up for food the next morning, but thankfully he was just sleeping in. Once he saw me in the doorway of the barn he hopped right back up!

Alvin is very excited about solid food. And want to know his favorite? Mamas rose leaves obviously, like every other goat... but his second favorite is blackberry leaves!

I don't think anyone is surprised that we're raising radical environmentalists over here but it warms my heart to see a rescue baby munching invasive weeds 🥰

Ballydídean aims to promote animal welfare, ethical land stewardship, and positive community building

Founded by the Santosa family in 2018, Ballydídean Farm Sanctuary is something that Sarah and Ansel dreamed of starting since they were 15 in high school. Many have never met farm animals; particularly not those who were kept in non-production conditions and have misconceptions about the behavior or characteristics of those animals. Those misconceptions are often used as excuses for treating farm animals different from pets.

We want to adopt animals out of production conditions and give them happy, peaceful lives. And we want to give others access via community or educational events to help build a sense of empathy towards these animals, especially in children.
