    Here is the udder pics of Annie you asked about, @Youngfarmer2019! I finally got around to it. She's giving 3 cups at the morning milking and 2 cups in the evening with a buckling on her during the day, but even when she had the buckling on her full time she gave a quart per day! That milk star...

    Thank you. We may take her to the sale barn if she recovers. She isn't doing any better as far as walking, and I was told it could be a pinched or damaged nerve.

    Well, the Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Today we lost Liesel 's ram lamb. I came out this morning to her lying down with a huge, swollen, dried out lamb head sticking out of her. It took a lot of hard, steady pulling to get him the rest of the way out. He was definitely dead. He must...

    Heidi lambed yesterday morning on day 151! They like to keep me waiting. It's a cute little ram lamb! He got tagged yesterday, is eating great, and as you can see she's a very good mom. She about woke the dead with her noise looking for him when we were holding him for 3 minutes to tag him. And...

    The last two! Heidi (pregnant 14 months old) Gael (15 weeks) she's the one on the right without the ear tag in the first picture. From what I know of goat conformation, it seems to me that Heidi is the best looking, but I'm not sure. Eden is really long and she's bigger than Gael who is...

    I got some pretty good pics of the last year's and this year's lambs! I know the grass is a bit tall to judge pasterns, but if anyone has some conformation pointers otherwise I could use the help. I know a lot more about goat conformation than sheep right now, and wasn't sure how these...

    Just kidding....APRIL FOOLS! But you knew that, didn't you?😜 In all seriousness though, have you ever seen a grub that big??!! He's about the size of 3 regular sized grubs. The chickens went cuckoo over him, so he did get eaten, just not by us 😁🤢

    Take a look at our newest farm animal!!!! We are so excited to begin breeding these. Who needs chicken and lamb when you can have succulent grubs? Roasted, fried and grilled, they are a delicious substitute for red meat, and healthier too! Will be offering these for shipping all over the country...

    Now it's the goats turn to be let out on pasture! I have such short goats they are disappearing into it! My little 2 week old buckling looks like a bunny rabbit hopping 2 feet in the air then disappearing every time he lands😂

    They are all so stunning!!! Wow. And they're all so long but Eden is looooong. Aspen is turning into a beautiful dog. How's her training going? And how are your other Aussies?

    Well, you are a bit further north than me, so that's understandable. Hopefully you won't have to wait much longer! Maybe the grass likes horse manure? That definitely is a blessing! And orchard grass is an unheard of delicacy here. I'm sure they love it!

    Spring grazing is underway!!!!!! No more hay! Look how chunky these January lambs are already! The ewe closest to the camera and her half sister are due in a couple weeks! They will be the first homebred ewes to lamb on our property. And last but not least here are the other grazing...

    I don't have a 12 hour fill pic for Annie yet. I'll get one in the morning. In the meantime, here are some Avon pics! She is so spoiled already and loves head scratches😄 Iris has stopped trying to murder her, (it took an entire week!) so she's been let out of jail and all three are now...

    So I ended up leaving the kids with her for over 24 hours. I was tired, they would not take the bottle, and I didn't want to wrestle them all night worrying they weren't getting enough colostrum. I did pull one of them the morning after they were born and tried to feed him up until 3 pm before...
