Bring coffee. Set it on the table. Do not speak, do not make eye contact. Back away slowly and we all just might survive this.

Meet the newest addition to our pack. This girl is a Akbash/Central Asian Shepherd cross. These dogs date back thousands of years to The Silk Road (as far back as 2nd century BCE.) They were bred to live with and protect livestock, caravans, families and their possessions. They are designed to form close bonds with their livestock and live amongst them with little to no interference or support from their human counterparts. They work independently and prefer to be with their stock over in a home or with people. During the day they are likely to be found lounging and napping, appearing to be very mellow, low energy dogs. However, they sleep with one eye open and if any threat crosses too close to their territory they will be on full alert instantly. At night they patrol their territory, which can span vast amounts of land, warding off predators and ensuring that their charges are safe from harm. While they often use a warning bark or growl to alert if a predator approaches, they jump to action without hesitation if necessary. The term “Livestock Guardian Dog” refers to a relatively short list of specific breeds and while each breed is slightly different, some are bred to be more aggressive towards canids, some are better at guarding against birds of prey and some are even selected to guard against human intruders, they all have some similar characteristics. They are all large and very powerful, generally weighing in between 80-120 lbs depending on the breed. They have dense, double coats that protect from the elements and allow them to live comfortably full time with their stock as well as protecting them from harm should they engage with a predator. They often have extra loose skin around their necks. This is another protective barrier and allows the dog to turn and grab ahold of a predator, even if the predator has ahold of the fur/skin of their neck. Some also crop the ears to give predators less to grab ahold of and some breeds have naturally small ears. Some Livestock Guardian breeds are even intentionally bred only white so they blend in with the sheep they live with. People have been using LGD’s for nearly as long as they have been raising domestic livestock. They are one of the most effective forms of predator control and, interestingly enough, they are by far the most eco-friendly. Because of LGD’s many farmers and ranchers have been able to co-exist with predators such as wolves, big cats and bears, allowing the predators to hunt natural prey but keeping livestock safe.

Nothing like enjoying your morning cup of coffee with your chicken. Note: our chickens don’t like in the backyard. Ms. Elsa is not supposed to be on the back porch. Not only did she find her way into the yard and onto the porch, she then helped herself to this particular perch and complained loudly when attempts were made to remove her.

Sometimes farming is funny. For example- I was milking the girls the the other night and a fly was bugging me and my girl. The fly just so happened to land on the edge of my milk bucket. Now, I’m not actually much of a milk maid and have lamented often about my slowly developing milking skills, but I am proud to say that I have GREATLY improved over the last few years. I am also not much of a marksman. There was a moment of contemplation in which I considered how much my milking skills have developed. Then, I did what any reasonable aspiring milk maid and mediocre marksman would do… I shot a stream of milk at the fly. I HIT IT. There was a hairsbreadth of a second where I reveled in my victory, and then the milk-shot fly fell straight down into my milk bucket! 🤦‍♀️

How do you tote your goats? There are 9 goat kids in the wheelbarrow and they ride from the goat pen to the garage in there every night.
