So, I knew moving out here and having a farm would be hard. But sometimes I’m really done. This is Noir. We only had her for 2 years. I don’t know what happened but she somehow broke both front legs. Broke them so bad that the only option was to put her down. She was my little barn buddy and always sat with me while milked the goats. She was only 5 years old. Sometimes no matter what you do, this tragedy of death is inevitable. Cats are surprisingly more vulnerable than I expected. In the 6 years we have been out here we have lost 5 feline friends, and for so many different reasons. 😔. I share this just cuz it’s not always happy times on the farm. It can feel really tragic.

We are a family that believes in not only persuing your dreams but also working towards and understanding that the things you love take hard work. This is my youngest daughter Kennedy. She has fallen in love with gymnastics. This is her first year in competition and has started out with a bang! She won grand champion in her age division!!
Gymnastics is probably one of the most expensive and time consuming sports out there 😅.
So to help off set just a fraction of these costs she has been making freshies.
We opted to do this instead of selling popcorn. Something a little different and takes some work on our part.
💫Since this is a fundraiser for herself we are asking $10 a freshie. But she will receive the entire profit unlike when you go through a company.
✨When you open the pictures you will see what they are scented as

These make great stocking stuffers that not only give to the recipient of the freshie but also would make this little gymnast’s day knowing her hard work is paying off.

Merry Christmas everyone and thank you for loving on our family. 🥰

‘Growing up, we didn’t head to the grocery store for a gallon of milk — we went to the barn and got it ourselves. My brother milked the family cow in the morning, and I took care of it in the evening.’ Living in Stephenville — the dairy capital of Texas — I’ve got a front-row seat to t...

Neat little chart about goat breeds.
I raise alpine and Nubians 💗

Before you engage in Goat farming. You need to understand various breeds and whether they are good for meat or milk.

Goats are essential in global agriculture due to their adaptability, resourceful grazing, and production of meat, milk, fiber, and skins. Different breeds serve specific agricultural purposes based on their primary traits.

1. Dairy Breeds:
Saanen: Originating from Switzerland, known for high milk production and a calm temperament, best suited for cooler climates.

Alpine: Hardy, adaptable to various climates, medium milk production with a pleasant temperament.

Nubian: Recognized for high-fat milk ideal for cheese, adapted to hot climates, and known for their outgoing nature.

Toggenburg: Cold-resistant and reliable milk producer with moderate fat content, easy to handle.

LaMancha: Notable for their tiny ears, adaptable and friendly, producing quality milk with moderate fat.

2. Meat Breeds:
Boer: From South Africa, large and muscular with rapid growth and a high meat yield, adaptable to various climates.
Kiko: Hardy with strong maternal instincts, produces lean meat, and is low-maintenance.

Spanish: Medium-sized, tough, ideal for rugged areas, producing lean, flavorful meat.

Savannah: Known for heat tolerance and resilience, yielding tender cuts, ideal for arid areas.

3. Fiber Breeds:
Angora: Produces mohair, a valuable fiber, but requires more care, especially in colder climates.

Cashmere: Known for producing luxurious, fine cashmere wool, adaptable but needs care during combing.

Pygora: A crossbreed producing soft fleece, popular with hobby fiber producers due to their manageable size.

4. Multi-purpose Breeds:
Pygmy: Small, friendly, suitable for milk and as pets, easy to care for, often used on small farms.

Nigerian Dwarf: High butterfat milk suitable for cheese, adaptable, and friendly, popular as pets.

Jamunapari : From India, large, productive in milk.

Now to pressure can the chicken we processed!
This is my favorite because the meat is ready to be added to any dish and it does take up freezer space!
We were able to get 9 quart jars full plus we put 16 1 lb breasts as well as a full meal of chicken wings in the freezer. We also made some chicken bone broth, so those will be going through the pressure cooker as well!
Unfortunately the heat in November took out half of what I was raising. 😞. But still a decent yield from only 8 birds.

Butchered some BIG birds today!! 7.5 lb birds!

(The scale is in ounces so it reads as 7lbs 8ounces)

A barn cat’s schmorgish borg. If that’s how you spell it. I don’t even know if I say that right?! 🤔🤪

Finally got to break out my ear muffs.

As long as my ears are good, I’m good 🙉

And the cycle continues!! My young hens finally started laying so it’s time to get some more babies!! They are just so cute!!!!🥰

I like to order from Ideal Poultry. I hardly ever receive dead birds and they literally get here overnight.
