Time for Milo’s Mindful Minute! 🐮 Milo is our 2 year old “Mini” Highland. He is a steer (a neutered male cow), but truly is more like a 1500 lb pasture puppy. 💕 He loves to be brushed (video in the comments) & will exchange kisses for treats. 💋 He is usually pretty chill, grazing in the pasture & relaxing in the shade. 😌 Don’t let him fool you though…He is surprisingly fast, running at speeds of up to 25 mph when he gets the zoomies. 😳Although he loves the company of his humans & is VERY friendly, he does get a little (ok a lot) excited, often jumping in the air & tossing his head (binkies) when he sees someone he loves. ☺️ Because has no respect for personal space, and even less spatial awareness of his horns, it’s best to give him loves on the outside of the fence for safety 😂. Speaking of his horns, did you know they are vital in keeping him cool in the summer? Milo’s horns, which are filled with blood vessels & linked to the sinus cavity, dissipate excess heat. Oh and for those who are wondering, he is not the only cow here… He has a sweet sassy little friend named Pebbles, who I’ll introduce you to later this week. 🥰

Sunday funday! And what’s more fun than a couple of roly-poly teddy bears? Meet Honeycomb & SugarBear, our Babydoll Sheep. These boys are absolute best friends. You never see one without the other! Right now they are pretty wooly, but it won’t be long before it’s time for shearing to keep them nice & cool in the summer heat (see the last photos for their post haircut looks last year 😂)
Babydoll sheep 🐑 can be traced back to the 1800s in England. They can be white or off white… or they may have the recessive gene that makes them black, like ours! The sun ☀️ lightens their wool to a beautiful reddish brown.
Their fleece is springy and soft, and is full of lanolin. When processed, it’s as soft as cashmere 🧣 😍 🧶
Babydoll sheep are smaller than other breeds. They are generally sweet & docile, but they do take time to warm up to strangers.
When you come for a visit, it’s impossible to not fall in love with these guys. 💕

Our fabulous flock of fowl family here on the farm wishes you a fantastic Friday! These are just a few of the (mostly) friendly (& always funny) faces one may encounter here.
Did you know there are more chickens on earth than there are humans? 🐓 💕
They truly are the closest living relatives to the 🦖T-Rex! And they can run 9-10 mph without ever breaking a sweat… 🏃‍♀️
Chickens can recognize up to 100 different faces, and make friends. They can also grieve. 🥺
They have dreams when they sleep 😴
Chickens can see more colors than humans 🤓 and use the sun to navigate 🧭.
My favorite breed? Polish and Silkies. 😍
*side note* these guys & gals are pets! No one here ever ends up on our dining room table. 🤗

It’s Silly Goose Saturday! 🪿 While everyone else is on the “Porch Goose” train, we have real ones here on the farm. Meet Wi******er and his lady friends, Thelma & Louise. They are Chinese geese, of the white-feathered, blue-eyed variety. Of all the creatures great & small, these are the only ones that really strike fear into my heart 😂 They love & adore my folks (Wi******er loves momma hugs) and they are a little territorial about it. 🙄 However, they can also be SUPER funny. (Ask me about the time I was teasing him a bit through the fence, and he pretty much put me in my place… right on my butt…And sauntered off towards the ladies “laughing” about defeating the dumb human. To be fair, I deserved it & was laughing too 😂.)

Did you know geese mate for life (even if they are polyamorous) & are loyal and protective of their families? They love to talk…all at once…and are very loud. They are full of character & personality!
Female geese are just called geese (or other unpleasant names if they are after me), but males are called ganders. And a group is called a gaggle.
Geese are vegetarians and prefer to graze on grass, weeds, and plants.
Geese generally sleep on the ground in a nest in a shelter, and prefer to mate in the water.
Goose eggs are 2-3 times the size of the average chicken egg (ouch, 😣 no wonder they can be cranky), and are richer and more nutrient dense. Plus they have thicker shells with a longer shelf life. (So yummy 🤤) Ours typically lay in the late winter & into spring.
Chinese geese are descendants of the wild swan goose, hence their long snake-like neck. The protrusion (k**b) on their forehead is a sign of fertility and grows as the geese mature 😳
They have waterproof feathers due to their preen gland, which secretes oil that they rub onto their bill and lather onto their feathers as they groom.
They do have wings & an impressive wingspan (that REALLY hurt if they hit you with them), but they don’t fly more than a few feet at a time, and only a couple inches off the ground. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Their lifespan is up to 20 years, meaning lots of wonderful opportunities to be mischievous. 🪿 💗

It’s almost Springtime, and that means some of the animals here are a little, as Bambi would put it, “twitterpated.” One of the best things about mating season is the beautiful dance of the peacocks 🦚 😍
Thanks to my mom for this quick video of Socrates “train rattling” to impress one of the females (peahen). Ladies, when is the last time a man impressed you as much as this guy does? 😂 Here are some fun facts about our handsome little crew (also known as a muster, bevy, or ostentation).

At the end of every mating season, a peacock will naturally shed his feathers & regrow them longer & fuller for the next mating season. They reach peak vibrancy around age six. Never ever pull a peacock’s tail feathers…just wait & they will leave them for you to pick up & enjoy later. 🥰 You may have noticed I have them throughout my practice. The eyes of peacock feathers have been said to favor an angel in its true form, and are thought to carry protective energetic qualities throughout various cultures.
Females are not as vibrant, nor do they have long tails that fan, but the crests on their heads act as important sensors where they actually feel subtle vibrations (like the ones created by the dance of their suitors).
Both male & females make a variety of sounds & calls (very loudly, might I add), and they CAN fly!

If you come for a visit, one of these handsome fellas is sure to welcome you. 😊 See the comments for more pics and video 😆

Social media is stressful, so here’s a little joy to cheer up your newsfeed. 🐐 😊
It’s just another manic Monday here on the farm, & there are few animals around here more hyped up than these 2 goofballs. 🤪 Meet Lily & Luna. They came to the farm as babies last summer & totally stole our hearts from day 1. 💞 If you are having a rough day & just need a laugh, go sit in the goat pen. I can guarantee you’ll be cracking up within the first 5 minutes. 😂
Here are some fun facts about these lovely ladies:
Lily & Luna are Nubian goats. Nubians have those cute floppy ears! 👂
Females are called does (or nannies).
Their favorite snack 🍪 is animal crackers, but they are actually VERY picky eaters. The old cartoons showed goats eating tin cans 🥫 & anything else they can get, but in reality, they would actually just chew the paper label off.
Their pupils are horizontal rectangles, rather than round circles. 👁️ This stops the sun from blinding them (& gives them a wider range of vision) while they graze, allowing them to spot potential predators easier.
These girls HATE rain & snow. Like me, they prefer sunny 80 degree days. ☀️
They don’t have front upper teeth, 🦷 but they do have a VERY hard dental pad. You do NOT want to get your finger in the way of those cookies when you are sharing a snack with them. Ouch.
Speaking of snacks, they have a 4 compartment stomach to break down & digest their typical diet of hay & goat feed. They also enjoy their salt block, minerals, and baking soda (to help with gas🫣).
And the best thing about goats, they really do prefer to see smiles on their humans’ faces. 🥰

I want to apologize for not having everyone’s recurring appointments in the books for March & April. That is on the top of my to-do list this weekend. Thank you for your patience & understanding. When you get your confirmation, as always, if there’s any conflict with your calendar, please let me know. 📆
I have posted about the best farm cat ever a few times in the past, and the last couple of weeks Hera has taken priority. 🐈 She battled a respiratory infection for 2 weeks, and thankfully was feeling better after meds, reiki, and her own humidifier, while staying inside during all the cold weather. She went back out (her choice) to return to her normal routine on the farm, but returned with an injury a couple of days later. More meds, more reiki, sound/frequency healing, red light therapy & lots of snuggles… but unfortunately she had a rare complication that was only getting worse. I’m beyond grateful for Dr. Church & the wonderful staff at Ceglinski Animal Clinic for the best care imaginable. Thank you to everyone who allowed me to reschedule your appointment this week due to vet visits and grief. To say she was incredibly special is an understatement, and I’m so thankful she chose me to be her human.
Side note: Did you know a cat’s purr is commonly between 25-150 Hz?
Studies suggest that frequencies between 25 and 50 Hz are particularly effective for promoting healing, while 100 Hz can assist with pain relief and reducing inflammation. And few sounds are more comforting than a cat’s gentle purr. 💜
