Farmer Friday

Pinto Bean & Bentley

Been another doozy of a week. I had to work my part time job 3 days instead of just 2 so that cut into my project time a lot. Then on Wednesday morning Bean was yelling her head off. Sure enough she was in a full standing heat. Not sure what happened, since I thought she was in heat the week before. However there is such a thing as a short cycle where a doe can come into heat close together. But as far as I know she and Bentley had a successful date and we should have kids in 5 months.

Back side of the big chicken house

I've been working on making repairs to my big chicken house, being very careful looking for the rattlesnake. So far no sign of it. I'll probably do a little video about this and the mistakes I made when I built it. In the meantime there is a page about it here; Big Chicken House

Fresh Goat Milk

In spite of the girls having their heat cycles and our weather being wonky I'm still getting a lot of milk. I did make a couple of batches of cheese.

Death Nap

The first time I found a goat stretched out like this I was panic stricken to say the least. But 'death naps' are a regular occurance.

pomegranite

The little pomegranite tree is almost ready to pick, but a squirrel got one first.

Goat Milk Soap "Orange Coffee"

Goat Milk Soap "Cedar & Sage"

I did get some soap packaged up that was ready so a couple of scents are restocked now. I really need to get more made so I don't run out of anything again but it's hard to do with so much other stuff going on. 

Thanks for stopping by. See you next time.
