I’m sad that he died, but I feel we did the best we know how for him. The other two are thriving under their mother’s care. Tom says it’s just part of farming- they don’t all mak
e it.
This is Sasquatch, the last lamb born this year (with his sister Sangria). Lambing and kidding season are officially over! The last kid Deja vu was born yesterday. All the mothers and lambs/kids are going well. We had two goat kid deaths and two miscarriages this year- really not that bad at all! We had more females than males for both lambs and kids too so all and all a great spring for our little farm!
Now we can enjoy the bouncing, playful, young animals and sleep through the night!
This is a hot day. Keeping all the animal with water is tough. There’s plenty of grass to eat though. We have the goats surrounded by electric net fencing in the blackberries. They do an excellent job of eating them down to the ground- great brush clearers! Tom mowed one of the fields with a tractor today. We also have to keep all the plants watered so they don’t shrivel in this heat. A lot to do when it’s too hot to do much!
By the way, the photo is of some of the hens eating some of the radishes from the garden.
