All kids are born and healthy. Yea... 7 to sell,. 2 buckling and 5 doeling. most are part Spanish and dairy,so could be meat or dairy.

past chickens, trying to fighure what I have

Spring, where oh where are you?

Kids are popping out 4 so far and 3 more does ready... they seem to want me to run around checking them...one male and 3 females. I got two kids with a trade they are 2 months old.
Now the fun begins, I have to milk....

pregnant does

I have does with udders developing and I wait. one doe is 3 and never been pg before, another is a new Alpine doe.  I think all my does are pg, maybe in March...  I bought a LaMancha and she was pg but kidded last week. He is bring her soon..So i will start milking her soon... "Yea, a little nervous. .
My last horse Dusty a 2 yr old mustang had loose poops. i found you can not feed wheat bran to a horse... poor baby..

 

Fodder system

I have been reading about fodder for animals , benefits etc. I bought shelves, trays and hoses, now to build a small room in my garage. I think this will be very beneficial for all my critters and hopefully cut down on amt of grains I need to feed

Time flies by and I had forgotten about this blog. Sold lots of does, still have more to sell.
I bought 8 alpacas and things were going great then 3 died . Thought the world had ended.
So sad to lose animals.

Hatching chicks and keets though. They are so cute when little. One hatching is all roosters. They have to go. I have more I don't know the sex and a guinea sitting on eggs. 3 wks and hope all hatch.

Weather turned hot again, yuck!!!

Almost 2013

I can't believe I haven't posted since April!  So many changes here.  I bought 8 alpacas and lost 5 to parasites. Very sad. I sold most of my goats and bought some dairy does. My plan is to milk and make cheese and butter.
I rescued another horse, a mustang, 26 yr old named Dusty. He is gaining weight.
Still working on my house but getting a lot closer! Praise The Lord !!!
