Lilly is currently 8days and she decided to take on her daily walk🥰
When we get a noise complaint we know who’s fault it is🙄
Zeusy seems a little sad without Frosty. I’m hoping it’s just my imagination and I’m projecting my feelings onto him. He still isn’t sure where to sleep, he always slept with Frosty. He’s been getting extra marshmallows to make his heart happy, which makes my heart happy.
Welcome to the world little girls! First goat babies of the 2023 year here. I’m sitting on the barn floor, with wet babies, watching a proud mom clean her girls with tears in my eyes. This is why I farm. I love all the gifts of my farm, and goats are my favorites. The joy I feel when all babies are born here touch me deeply. And goats bring this sense of calm to me, like I have more purpose than I can imagine.
The mom was having some troubles, I watched as I bottle fed the lambs. I assisted and as I slid my fingers up gently inside, I counted too many feet at the exit and then found the reason for the jam up. One doeling had her head turned backwards. I straightened her up while mom was moaning, I worked quickly & gave her a tiny tug & out she came gasping for air.
I am so glad I was here at this moment. An emotional morning for me, exhausted this week, and a bit teary eyed before I came to the barns. Now the tears are here for joy 💓.
Time to rub the manure, stuck hay off my knees with that mixture of birthing fluid & blood. And embrace the already exciting & beautiful day.
Cuddles with Zeus are the best but they do always end up in bruises 🤣
Eddie has a very…complicated…relationship with the chickens…What do you think he’s thinking?
