When we shared our news of purchasing an adjoining property and finally getting it cleaned up and ready to move the livestock over, we hinted a an upcoming surprise.
We'd been looking for Norweigan Red cows for some time and found our big beautiful Scarlet who's a Norweigan Red x Jersey. Because the breed seems so hard to find, we've been in discussions with our new vet about having her artificially inseminated to get her bred to a Norweigan Red bull. A friend shared some heifer calves for sale and we just had to make the trip to go get them. So many reasons this is an excellent breed to have.🐄🛻
The morning we left, I got a response from the dairy where Scarlet was born. They'll have calves available for us in August! It looks like our new herd is starting to shape up nicely. So, while we wait until then for new babies, take a look at these sweethearts we brought home yesterday after a very hot and humid trip to FL. These ladies are hanging out in quarantine getting to know their trainer Jacqueline Edditone before they meet Scarlet, who has been waiting for friends of her own.
VIP treatment and music for our laboring girls. Of course the temp is going to dip hard and of course she won't actually pop until it's at is lowest...
Cookie time!!!! Let's go!
When they hear that barrel clank, it's full speed ahead. Run goats, run! Feeding time is always the right time. 🤣

Tapping time
These kids love the platform and the sound of their hooves tapping. Not all of the mamas are happy with the independence and are hollering all about it 🤣.
For some reason the video got cut short. It was even better with the mommas hollering in the background at the end

Adventures of Redman and the little red halter
Redman is learning very fast that the best chin scratches are when he settles down and doesn't fight the halter.

Ever wanted to see bunnies fighting over hay Lady & the Tramp style? Here you go! These sweet girls love their greens and good hay so much that they get excited and do binkies! 🌱🐇🍒
Fun Fact: Happy rabbits practice a cute behavior known as a “binky”. They jump up in the air and twist and spin around! It's so funny to see and our house bunny Lump Chub does the same whenever we pull the cherries out.
