Three bucks.
Three pens.
And apparently, Iโm the host of the Goat Dating Game. ๐๐๐
Itโs been a little quiet here online, but life on the farm has been anything but! This past week held soap making, pumpkin patch adventures, teaching Cecily new label-making skills in the soap room, physical therapy trips, home chores, and watching my husband work hard sealing our driveway.
Then Saturday, after the farmers market, I traded my market apron for matchmaking duties. ๐
All three kidding stalls held a different buck, the does had opinions about their dates, and potentially eight does were bred!
With this much romance (and letโs be honest so much buck aroma!) in the barn, Iโm beginning to think those partitions need to be a whole lot taller. ๐
(And a lot more fresh air! Bucks ๐คข ๐ท)
We also welcomed a visiting Guernsey buck for the next three weeks, and Iโm so thankful for this opportunity.
After selling our two Guernsey bucks this past year, we needed some new bloodlines.
When you keep daughters from your own herd, finding an unrelated match gets trickier over time.
This handsome visitor gives us new possibilities for our Guernsey girls and the next generation of Meadowlark Heritage babies. ๐ค (One doeling is already reserved for someone! Time to make your reservations!)
My former head milker owns him and graciously worked it out with me so we could use him as a breeding buck. Iโm so grateful and excited!
My husband and kids drove many long hours to bring him here, arriving home late Saturday night.
And wouldnโt you know it? One of our Guernsey does had gone into heat that very day. His first date was already waiting. ๐
Meanwhile, swipe to the last photo for the doe who would like to speak to managementโฆ
โExcuse me. I specifically requested gate 3!โ ๐๐คฃ
Around here, even after a long market day, the farm has another story waiting.
Which bachelor gets your vote: 1, 2, or 3? ๐
