Treedingeree (say that three times fast 🤪)

She’s one of the three kittens I found dumped in the road. They are all friendly to a fault, and earn their keep catching mice.

She looks so pretty in the snow

New addition!

Diggory is a buck from Whey-To-Go and should produce kids who put plenty of milk in the pail. He’ll be matched up with a good portion of the does next breeding season with plans to retain lots of doe kids

Gumdrop’s last day of work was last Wednesday, now she’s on maternity leave!

Due date of April 11. She’s already looking pretty wide. She’s in my top three for does I’m anxious to see kids from.

Last lactation she was milking 10+ pounds a day. She has an excellent udder structure and I wouldn’t mind having more goats in the herd that milk like she does.

Plus she has fun shaggy pants

11 days to D day for Lorelei…

No udder development yet but she is widening out and starting to actually look pregnant. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s only a single in there though.

Last lactation she milked 8 #. She’s not my most friendly doe but goes right to work and is very easy to milk.

She’s been getting some daily attention on the milk stand to get her back into the routine, and some added nutrition to support her during late pregnancy.

Big ole loaf of sheep

Not having an exact due date, I’m probably driving Lovis up the wall with how often I’m checking on her. She seems huge and has quite a bit of udder development, so it could be any day now.

Or, you know, another month.

This is the last cut of pork from our last batch of pastured pigs!

Pork shoulder roast, seared and braised with homemade sauerkraut, plum jam, onions, chicken bone broth, and apple cider vinegar.

Recipe from Celebrating Pastured Pork: The Cookbook

We still have pork reservations open🙂

Checking fertility rates on the American Bresse while I make breakfast.

I’ve been paying better attention to chicken nutrition than I have in the past, I’ve noticed a big difference in egg quality since I started adding amino acids to their feed a couple weeks ago. The eggshells are thicker, eggs are getting larger, and the hens are laying more frequently (though the last point could be just because the days are getting longer).

I have been weighing eggs as I collect them and most are large enough to hatch. I’ll start collecting for the incubator next week.

What are you hoping to get for Valentine’s Day this year?

I just asked for a cement mixer to mix feed in 😂

Other things on the list include:
- feed mill
- IBC totes for hay feeders
- fencing

Well at least the barn cats will be happy tonight 😤

Mia…you’re back on the wall of shame!

Whoever said not to cry over spilled milk definitely never milked a goat
