Here is a current update on the fire and wind direction for those that are having a hard time understanding the proximity and direction of the burn.
We have had a lot of people checking in with us on the safety of the farm in proximity to the fire. We are very safe. Here is a screen recording of the fire map with current wind direction indicators.
If you have an LGD, you should have complete control. A trained LGD should take commands and obey without question.
Hattie was an absolute menace when I rescued her, she was young, untrained, and full of puppy energy. For almost the first year she was here she was hardly able to spend time off a tie out because she would jump the fence and want to survey every inch of land. But now, she is downright amazing.
I had no visual of Hattie other than the camera. While standing on my porch I gave her commands to leave the deer alone. Leave it, friend, back. Those words are simple and ones she knows.
If you have a guardian dog you know they’re capable of doing great harm to a predator of any kind. That is not a power that should be left unbridled. As an owner, you must have control.
Hatching season is upon us! Baby mallards and barnyard layers coming up!
Nancy has finally released her hostages! The tricolor is a doeling and the black with white frosting is a buckling. 💜
We never take for granted the goodness of new life on the farm. #feralden #piglets #farmlife
Sarabi is ready for her new farm finally. She has been the one little girl I’ve held back deliberately until I felt she would be successful and she has finally met that mark.
Koko has decided it’s time to get the kids outside now. 🥰Yesterday’s weather was just too nice to not enjoy.
(Don’t worry, I found the missing piglet- see comments for that video)
Wouldn’t you know it that Miss Koko has to go and have a surprise litter right when it’s horribly cold! Fred must have been mighty quick when the goat broke the fence one day and they were together for about an hour! 🤦🏼♀️ Three girls, six boys.
