Omgees, don't zoom in on that pic too much. It's more obvious in the pictures before it on my phone but in the background both Hera bucklings are at it. They'd better cut it out or I'm going to find some pants to put on them for at least 4 more weeks. We've got to follow the rules here. Blond boy has someone wanting him, other buckling may wind up a processing wether for the freezer, but we'll see.

Where are my tutus of shame?

My pig has become a low rider. Uh...hope she's pregnant and goes soon.

The nice thing about sheep is that rams don't pee on their faces!

Yesterday on day 158 Mallow kidded a buckling almost 11 pounds...and an 8 pound doe and buckling too. Now she's on a rampage to kill all dwarf goats and yearlings to make up for the last 3 months of landshipping it and she doesn't care if I'm in the way. She's almost gotten me a couple of times too. She was like this before she was a kid bus too, so in the spirit of not keeping goats that don't get along here, she will be listed as soon as we don't need her milk. (I'm also not smitten with her udder, feet, or production) Meanwhile I need to stay on my toes to not get my knees broken.
Sweet with people, spicy with smaller goats, that's Mallow.

Those are big kids for triplets aren't they? Sorry she has an attitude like that, but some are just PAINS.... in capital letters!!!! Yep, you do what you have to... and obviously she is not the favorite, so better to find her a home that meets her "specifications"....

What a Diva! My sheep-not! Posts like yours just make me like my laid back sheep even more. LOL LOL

Yes @farmerjan , those kids are very good sizes for triplets.


Not an animal post, but last night Baby Shaun informed me that he has future aspirations not to be "Baby" and he's trying out something more along the lines of...

Spoiler: ...

..."Naughty" or at least busy. He is definitely wanting to be two lately. So yes, the baby is more of a toddler now, very busy, and in that picture covered in baby goat spit after letting the babies suck his ears and hair and hands, then wandering off in the shop to find stick like objects to poke doe berries with, then instead of going to sleep in bed after brushing his teeth he found a chocolate one of the boys lost and got it everywhere including on me while I was tuning him out...so he's probably going to be going through a "busy", messy, disaster stage along with being moody if his mind is not read right. Keeping up with his brothers' records.

...but he's cute, so we'll keep him.

I love it when kids get messy and dirty. They have so much fun! Your toddler is adorable!

 

[rachels.haven]

Thanks!
Me too.Dirty is a healthy, occupied child's natural state. Then we rinse and repeat

My girlie two littlest granddaughters love to get coated in mud. Once when we were cleaning out the 300 gallon horse tank, they laid in the mud and "swam" in the green water, sand, horse manure, interesting mix. They had a blast, got squirted with the water hose and had some good ol' dirty/clean fun.
