No goat pictures in the snow, we wouldnโt want them melting. ๐ Theyโre tucked in the barn nice and warm eating hay..or should I say the barn cats bedding. The kittens were once terrified of the goats, now they play with them instead. โค๏ธ
Buttercup was AIโd 5/22. Thereโs a theory out there that says cows can show positive for pregnancy as early as 10 days post breeding using witching sticks/dowsing rods. We will confirm pregnancy 30 days post breeding via blood draw but for now the witching sticks read positive! ๐ค๐ป and yโall think ๐! ๐ค๐ป๐๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ง
Peaches is open as seen here and used as the control. ๐๐
Working in the garden Tuesday and amongst the thunder of the incoming storm I suddenly heard a lot of loud buzzing. I followed the noise to find a large swarm hovering above the house. They slowly filtered to the tree line and settled down just as the first rain drops started falling. Unfortunately, they were too high for us to catch and didnโt take to any of our swarm traps. They quickly moved on after the storm passed. Swarms are a honeybees natural way to reproduce &/or protect themselves from pests. Swarms while a little alarming are relatively safe as the bees are just trying to protect their Queen and find a new home which can take up to 12-24hrs. You can observe and enjoy them from a distance or call a beekeeper to catch them if you should so wish.
*Iโll add a couple pictures in the comments as fb will not allow me to upload videos and pictures at the same time. ๐
Blooper version, check out those wipe outs. ๐๐
Goat ASMR thanks to the rain storm and metal barn.๐ง Babies are much faster, more coordinated, and jump higher now a days. Convincing them play time is over is a challenge most days. ๐

Had to โธ feeding to get a video of baby goat hops. ๐ฅน Their favorite time of day is getting to race and hop in the aisle way while I milk and feed. โค๏ธ๐
