thanks @Mike CHS and @Wehner Homestead . have had a good year. all the ewes had big healthy twins except a ff and she had a single eweling. all the does kidded with twins also mostly buck/doe sets, one set of twin doelings and two single doelings out of ff's. now the hard part, I have to...
I had guineas for several years and they were the best watch dog/tick eaters I ever had. true they tell the world if things are not ok but not all the time, let me and the chickens know about hawks, strange vehicles in the driveway and various other unknowns. were they loud, sometimes yes but...
well its all over but the shouting, all does have kidded and ewes have lambed. what could be better than chocolate for Easter. twin lambs, ran and ewe, chocolate with mocha face stripes and her vanilla twin sister, milk choc. eweling, choc. doeling and last but not least choc. frosting doeling...
boy, tough decision. your baby hasn't dropped much either. i'm going to stick with the 15th. and by the way kiddo, your back ground looks like mine, comfortable and lived in.
back in the olden days when fairys and giants ruled the earth and i was much ornerier than I am now I used to tell people that we trimmed the ears off at birth and deep fried them as a snack, really good with dip. yes, yes I did freak out a lot of people with that comment. then i'd have to...
I raise totally for meat production so I have what are affectionly known as meat mutts. they are a cross of nz, production white and palomino. important part for me is that they are healthy and productive. I do however love standard rex, love the pelts. maybe someday i'll have some of them.
in looking at lilly i'd say she has more udder to build but you didn't show us a picture of your tummy so I don't know how far you've dropped either so i'm going to say you will go on the same day, feb 15th. good luck to both of you.
thanks bay, she is my baby girl. I got her 14 years ago come may of this year and she has been at my side ever since. when I was doing travel nursing she road shotgun and went with me everywhere. I got her from a place in Oklahoma where the couple lived way down a dirt road. in a single wide...
the babies are so cute. looks like jasmine is working at catching up the her big brothers. I sure hope your back gets better soon. what a pain to have to be so careful with everything but you know how important it is. take care of yourself
gabby is just working at keeping both of you in sight and safe. wait till she starts nipping your heel to get you to go where she wants you. jj has been known to poke the back of my leg when she is herding me to the house. miss gabby just gets prettier every day. and no I don't think your...
we did hay on shares here too and not only did db cut, bale and store it in his barn but he also delivered it. win/win for me.
as I caught up with you I saw where you asked about april. she is 3/4 lamancha and 1/4 combo of kiko, boer and Nubian so her kids would be 7/8 lamancha. her mom was a...
really glad you are feeling better today. I've been fighting the flu or something for a little over 2 weeks now. I feel a lot better but am still coughing my head off and stay out of breath with the least little effort. i'm really tired of it but this too shall pass, I hope anyway. what a...
don't ya love lambing season. bouncing babies just makes your heart happy. good catch on the ewelings eye hopefully it will stay fixed. just because i'm curious what kind of ducks are those in the stall with the ram lamb and his mama?
congrats on the new babies OFA. beautiful as always. between your animals and @Goat Whisperer's I could (in a weak moment of course) be talked into a nigie buck and have some mini lamanchas. and yeehaa on climate controls milk testing. great butterfat.
the spring games are beginning here at someday farm. walked out to the barn day before yesterday and found a surprise. @Devonviolet's doe falina has twin baby sisters. whoohoo. mama Fiona had them without any problems, all dried off and ready to play. now have to come up with more girl...
