Our Mini Rex doe named Cloud is making her nest!

While we are super excited to see our first litter with her and Thistle Creek Farms buck Bruni, watching does gather nesting material is quite a hoot! They get so crazy about it! Cloud has been moved into a nice and secure brood pen where she will be able to raise her kits safely. This pen also gives us ample reach to monitor how the kits are doing so they grow happy and healthy!

Holy cow! We've made it five years with the page!

As some of you may know, two of our previous, ahem, 'ages were deleted because of supposed sales of certain four and two legged things. So to have made it to five years without having the same result as the first two is amazing!!

Thank you everyone for your support! Between likes, follows, and shares we have gotten bigger than we ever imagined!

Thank you so much!

From everyone and every-critter here at Tupa's Clover Leaf Farmstead

We all feel the same way, Blaze! This cold is NOT fun!

Be safe these next few days with the cold snap coming through! Stay indoors when possible and bundle up when going outside.

We made sure to bed down the livestock during this brief warm up as well as stock up their feeders. To give a boost to stay warm, everyone got sweet corn silage and a bale of hay. The fowl have free feeders full of corn while all the rabbit feeders are filled to the brim. During the cold snap we'll be doing extra barn runs to make sure everyone has food and water access since the cold will cause all but the large stock tanks to freeze.

What are your plans during the cold snap? Any indoor activities you'll be enjoying?
We plan on doing a bunch of baking as well as enjoying movies and crafting to stay busy.

We sure love bunny kisses during chores!

Our Japanese Harlequin, Macchiato, gave us four stunning kits! Two are Japanese and two are Magpie and all just adorable! We cannot wait till they shed their baby coats so we can see their true colors and patterns.

Blaze is NOT happy about this cold snap! He's been acting like his beard will freeze and fall off if he goes outside for too long!

How is everyone holding up with this chilly weather?
We've been doing indoor activities like using the sewing machine to make stuff for the house.

When it's a sad and cold day, there's nothing quite like a goat trying to give kisses to make you crack a smile.

Nova was doing her best this morning to get all the attention she could during chores! Those antics made us chuckle!

It is a very sad day here at the farmstead.

Our tom turkey who many knew, Captain Jack, passed away overnight. It is very heartbreaking as he was our very first surrender after we opened up the farmstead to unwanted or unable to care for barnyard fowl. Thanks to him many other birds came to us to either live out their twilight years or go on to new flocks.

Captain Jack wasn't just a turkey. He was a character, spending hours strutting during the springs and summers while checking every vehicle grill for bugs. He was the unofficial es**rt of Sam's daughter around the farmstead to keep geese and young roosters at bay. Many times he could be spotted hanging out with his chickens in the yard or driveway to snack on whatever he could find. Every spring he'd have a gobbling fight with the local wild toms that never dared to venture onto the pastures.

The barn feels very empty. It's quiet without his gobbles of acknowledgement whenever we entered in the morning or closed it at night. Pulling into the driveway feels lonely without him there to watch us drive by.

It's a sad way to bring in the new year but Captain Jack was an old lad. He enjoyed his life to the fullest without a care. It wasn't in his nature to brood over anything, even if he missed out on treats or had a chicken sn**ch his snacks. So we'll talk about his antics and laugh about his nonchalant attitude towards almost anything. Maybe this spring we will get another Captain to join the flock and step into his post of being the silly farmstead turkey.

We will be doing our yearly Christmas tree drop off again but with a change!

This year we will have a wagon (borrowed from Thistle Creek Farms ) parked near the garden for easier drop off! Please make sure to put all trees on the wagon!

As usual please make sure all trees are:
-Free of decorations including tinsel
-No spray snow or other spray decor
-Not spray painted (you can tell by looking at the trunk if the tree was sprayed green)
-No chemicals used to water the tree

The wagon will be put in place by Saturday afternoon so please wait till then to drop off trees!
**Update** WAGON IS IN PLACE YAY!

Now this year we are sharing the love! Both Thistle Creek Farms and Snediker Farms will be getting trees from the wagon! If any other farmers want to grab some trees, please let us know in advance so we aren't wondering who's out there grabbing trees haha!

We are so excited that other farms are doing drop off and pick up to reduce the amount of Christmas trees ending up in landfills!!! It makes us want to cheer!!!

Last night was the last riding group session at Cornerstone Horses! It was an extremely fun and rewarding experience for the youngest on the farmstead. It gave her a huge confidence boost to want to ride her ponies!

Thank you to the owner and the coaches at Cornerstone Horses for offering this wonderful opportunity! You can tell they enjoy guiding the next generation of horse (and pony) lovers!

Who is enjoying the snow? These two have been loving all the snow!

Do you enjoy the snow? If so, what do you like to do?

For us, seeing the Kiddo and dogs play in the snow brings a smile to our faces as well as seeing our calves and pony c**t frolicking in the snow.

Razzy, our hair mix ewe, was very vocal this morning about how she feels about the snow. We aren't fluent in sheep but we are pretty sure there were some bad words in there!

Did you know that seeing snow on an animal's back, such as cows, horses, sheep, ect, is a very good sign that they are healthy? When animals get their winter coat, it insulates them so their body heat doesn't escape easily. When it snows and sits on them, it shows that the insulation of their winter coat is good and the animal is healthy! Of course not all animals like to be snowed on or have snow on them like our goats so they hide inside.

With our donkeys, however, we've noticed that the snow does melt some on their backs while it just sits on the ponies. However they are healthy, warm, and content and we factor in the fact they are a desert animal that doesn't see snow. So it's not a fact with some animals given where they may be from. Always keep that in mind before panicking or worrying!

So if you are bitter about the snow like Razzy and the goats, enjoy it like the ponies and sheep, or just don't care like the cows and donkeys, we hope you're safe and cozy during this blustery day!!

Be careful on the roads this morning!

Traffic has been slow on I35 in both directions while our main road has been slow moving as well. The worst part is the wind blowing the snow around.

Leave early, take your time, and be careful while out and about!

After swatting the oats, the combine comes through and takes the oats off the stem which is now straw! The oats are fed to livestock or sold to a feed mill and the straw is used as bedding for the livestock! A lot of the time our own livestock enjoys picking through the straw and nibble on any oats that were left on the stem as well as any other plants that were baled. Because our local feed mill is full to the brim with oats, we are feeding some of the oats while selling the rest privately. It makes for great livestock feed and can even be used to grow food plots for wildlife or as a grass replacement in newly constructed areas such as houses. You can also eat them after fanning the oats, which is removing the outer shell. #smallscalefarm #homestead #farmstead #Minnesota #oatharvest #harvesttime #combineharvester #johndeere #oats

Swatting oats is when the swatter, a piece of equipment, cuts the oats so they are laying down for the combine. Our field was thick so it took some time to swat all the oats! #smallscalefarm #homestead #farmstead #Minnesota #oats #harvesttime #oatharvest #swatter #farmequipment

We couldn't resist making a video for 167, nicknamed Curly! He's is such a stunning bull and we are so lucky to have the chance to breed our girls to him. Big shout out again to Rood Family Bull Rental for being an awesome business with such stunning bulls! It was hard to pick but with their help and knowledge of their bulls, we found the right fit. Cannot wait for next year's calving season so see his stunning offspring in our herd! If you are a precious customer, go with the Rood Family page a like or follow! And if you're in Minnesota or neighboring states, check out their line up! They're always willing to talk and help find a bull for your needs. #smallscalefarm #Minnesota #farmstead #homestead #herefordcattle #roodfamilybullrental #herefordcows #beefcattle #bull #beefherd

Our first year showing goats and my daughter chose her dairy goat,a Mini Lamancha named Saturday! Her dad offered to walk with both girls so I could get pictures and videos. They were so cute together! #smallscalefarm #farmstead #homestead #Minnesota #goats #lamanchagoat #dairygoat #goatshow #4HGrowsHere #4HFair #ricecountyMN #countyfairseason

Watching S'mores kittens play and tease the goat kids is just too cute! Panda here thought she was so tough! Too bad Latte didn't really care. Maybe next time, little kitten. #Minnesota #smallscalefarming #homestead #farmstead #barncat #kittenlife #goatkids #kikogoats #latte #panda #toocute #sovicious

Look at what Lola gave us! Last calf of the season!

Being a kid after a rain storm is the best thing ❤️ Especially when you have a cow watching you splash in a big puddle!

At least someone or someones are enjoying the flooding! Trust the ducks and geese to enjoy all the water! #smallscalefarm #funnyanimals #Minnesota #homestead #farmstead #farming #flooding #keepsraining #funtimes #ducks #geese

This is just too cute! One of our hens decided to sit on the kittens whose mom moved them into one of our birthing pens. This hen has no eggs there, has never laid eggs there, and has decided the kittens are now her chicks. No one but mama cat can go near them! S'mores, the mom, will be getting spayed once the kittens are weaned and ready to hang out with our other barn cats. Once they are old enough, all the kittens will be getting fixed! We love our barn cats and all they do to keep pets numbers low so we want to make sure they are happy, healthy, and safe. One way is to curb the urge to wander and get them fixed. Once we believed the old wives tale that fixed cats aren't good hunters. Well the TNR cats from our local police department quickly proved that wrong! They were the best hunters, not very people friendly though, but did a great job on the farmstead. Now we get all the cats we can catch, some are feral and dumped so it's hard to catch them, so they can be fixed. The friendly ones are still just as cuddly as a kitten! #smallscalefarm #toocutenottoshare #Minnesota #barncatsrule #farmcats #kitten #chickens #sillychicken #farmstead #homestead #farmlife #responsibleowner #tupascloverleaffarmstead

We got asked for a video of the chicks, ducklings, and goslings so here you all go! We have more waiting to hatch in both our incubators. Our first one is on its second round with almost two dozen duck eggs! How exciting! Hopefully there will be new babies in the brooder box in 28 days!
