I am EXHAUSTED. 😂
Yesterday was pasture rotation day, and as usual… absolutely NOTHING went according to plan. 🤦♀️
This time, the bucks were the problem. Because apparently being in rut means they have decided they are actually big horn sheep preparing to fight to the death. 🐐💥🐐
Putting them back together in the same pen? Nope.
Sharing a fence line? Apparently also nope.
So… lots of space between them it is!
That meant finding roommates for the boys to keep them company. Thankfully, we have two wethers (castrated boys) who are perfect for this very important job: Norman, who is basically a professional roommate at this point, and my sweet baby boy Stanley. ❤️
Except… that meant Stanley had to be weaned from his mom so he could move in with Jacob.
I was NOT planning on weaning Stanley yet. 😭
And I hate weaning. Those little cries just break my heart. 💔
Then I thought, well… if we're already doing this… I might as well wean Helen too. So I pulled old girl Zinnia away from the landscaping crew and put her in with Helen to keep her company.
And OH. MY. GOODNESS.
There was crying.
There was hollering.
There was yelling from every direction. 😂
Rocket was upset because her friend Zinnia moved out.
Chloe and Danuta were NOT impressed that their babies were suddenly weaned.
Norman was apparently dealing with Burt's inappropriate advances 🤣.
And poor baby Stanley was heartbroken to be away from his mom AND his sister.
Basically, the entire farm was filing complaints yesterday. 😂
Thankfully, everyone seems to be adjusting and settling into their new spaces and new friends this morning. ❤️
And because apparently I don't enjoy having free time…
Today is vet day! 🩸🐐
Annual disease testing means blood draws for everyone on the list. Because nothing says fun Wednesday quite like chasing goats around for blood samples. 😂
I'm already counting down until this week is over.
Farm life is beautiful.
Farm life is rewarding.
Farm life is also EXHAUSTING. 😂🐐❤️
But everybody is safe, everybody is settling in, and that's what matters.
Now… somebody bring me coffee. ☕️
