New additions

Meet Ham (black and white female) and Sausage (red and white male)...







They aren't quite sure about us yet but we are working on them...found out they like the horse's apple treats (don't tell the horses!)...bribery with food always works...especially with pigs!

Finally!!

Well, we wondered and were finally proved right that Mocha was indeed pregnant! We came out Sunday morning to hearing some tiny little "baaas" coming from the goat pen! We thought, now wait a minute! Jack and Jameson don't sound THAT little anymore! And sure enough there were two little kids in with Mocha...one boy and one girl...


We call the boy Macchiato and the girl Latte.


Well, unfortunately little Latte was too weak and little and didn't make it...
R.I.P Little Latte...

Back in action!

Well, its been a while, so we have some updating to do...We seem to be somewhat of a Holiday farm...Unfortunately, we lost little Kobe on Valentine's night (or maybe the morning after). So Ginger was forlorn for a few days, but is OK. We don't know exactly what caused his death, but we don't think he suffered. We replaced him with a little black Mini Hereford/Dexter cross whom has a few names but mostly goes by "black baby" or "Dexter". He's very small and cute, and is a bit of an outcast but getting along with the others fine.

Keeping up with the "holiday" theme...We got an Easter surprise...Sedonia had kids! We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw she had "bagged up" on Saturday night, and were even MORE in awe when we came out Sunday morning to little tiny "baaa's", mimicking daddy Bucky!! We whisked them into the barn stall we had built in the Big Red Barn, and got them nursing. They were both little boys, so Scott (who tends to be the namer) named them Jack (Daniels) and Jameson...yes...like the whiskeys...Jack was a little more shaky than Jameson at first,  his back legs seemed to take a while to work right, but now they are both strong and jumping, playing, eating, and sleeping as little "kids" do. Fun!
 
Our own Easter "kid" hunt!

 
 Here they were in their new stall in the barn...See little Jack is still getting his "sea legs" on the left.

 
 Here is little Jack peeking out to say "Hi!" we have a feeling he is going to be just like his mama...a little too curious for his own good...
 
 Little Jameson, strong and spunky (and a little noisy) from the beginning, we think he may just be like his papa...OH BOY...

Moooorrry Chriistmas...(slightly late)!!

Well after all the hubbub of Christmas died down, to what my wondering eyes should appear...but a little calf out of Gingers rear...wait no that's not how that goes!! At any rate Ginger is a proud mommy




It took a while but finally found the sweet spot for his mommas goodies...





After all that effort it was time for a nap...and momma Ginger made sure he was nice and clean...





Look at that face...





Little Kobe...



Not too bad a reason to stay home from work today!! Thanks Ginger!

Meet Bacon...



And Pork Chop...




To pigs in a pod....




Wait...Pigs in a blanket...?




Anyway, they are our new pigs!! Newest additions to the Farm... Eee Eye Eee Eye Ohhhhh..

Moving and Shaking

Well I have been remiss updating but that doesn't mean life has been dull at our farm! We have chickens hatched, chicken tractors and goat lovin!

Here is the new chicken tractor that Scott built (and I helped finish)...for the youngsters that will be for meat...


And here are the happy chicks in their new abode. They even have grass to eat! And when they are done with that, we roll them forward onto new grass...hence the tractor!


Goat lovin you say?? Yes, I did...Little Bucky is growing up, and as boys do, he's feeling his wheaties...now in full rut (which is not fun for anyone else...boy is he STINKY!!)...and both Sedonia and Mocha have had their own "dates" and no...no pictures...this is a G-rated blog!! OK, maybe PG-13...
