ABA Princess Narvi is pure perfection. I love her oh so very very much 😍
(and she loves when I have strawberries for distribution 😉)

Advice needed!
There is a single bumblebee (or at least the only one I ever see) in our garage that gets very, very agitated in the mornings & evenings. Problem is, that is where the babies live, and where I milk..... milking and feeding babies during - you guessed it, mornings and evenings! I LOVE bumbles. But I am also INCREDIBLY allergic to bees. One sting and its an ambulance ride, I have no insurance, no epi pens, so I try to be very cautious around bees.

At first we could kind of coexist, it chased me out a few times, but this morning it has been on a rampage. I cannot get to the babies. It keeps dive bombing me, chasing me, etc. Can I safely relocate a bumblebee somehow? Is there a Chill PillTM for bees I can give it? 😆 help!

Star is such a beautiful boy and it baffles me that no one has wanted to take him home yet 🥺 Hes 75% ND and 25% lamancha, though youd never guess from those airplane ears. One of my favorite qualities about Star that really separates him from the other babies is how much he squeaks while he eats. Its adorable.

Azzy here (Paulen Ridge Assana) would like to know why the humans have to go inside and do "work" and "dishes" instead of being outside 24/7 for aggressive chin scratchies. Why? Why the LIMIT on strawberries and fig bars? She would also like more information on mutinies and riots. Thank you.

I made a YouTube channel. Theres nothing new on there yet, as I'm going to spend a couple days uploading videos that most of you have likely already seen on my page here, and videos will continue to be on both platforms, howeverrrrrr longer form videos that are more slice-of-life style or educational will end up on YouTube only. 😊

Apple B Acres (ABA) is an ADGA performance herd of Nigerian Dwarfs, with some mini lamancha and mini nubian mutts sprinkled in. Our primary focus is loving and caring for the goats, but also with a heavy dairy focus to produce masterfully crafted cheese and soap (to pay for the loving and caring of....

Trying to get one of those "band cover" photos of the babies and well.... none of them are looking at me, but at least its very symmetrical 🤷‍♀️

Imagine the way my heart just STOPPED when my cameras notified me of a FIRE in the doe pen. Turns out, the does managed to spin my camera to face the sky (what kind of shenanigans were they hiding? Who knows) and the clouds were detected as fire smoke. All is fine. No fires. Just naughty goats. Phew. 😆
(This is the camera that a HUGE spider lives on though, so having to go and fix it was a 0/10 holiday experience)

I started doing Walmart deliveries because first of all, I've never lived anywhere that even gets pizza delivery before so this is freaking extravagant, and second of all, I'm very busy + its actually cheaper than driving my F250 to the farside of a next door town and back.

Anyway, every single time, I ask the delivery driver if they want to see a bunch of baby goats back behind my garage real quick before they leave. So far, every single driver enthusiastically goes "YES!!!!" and I lead them back behind my garage where I let them pet & hold some babes. Today was the very first time the driver paused, looked at me oddly, then said, "uh..... no." Before promptly leaving as quickly as she could.

I PROMISE theres actually baby goats behind my garage and I'm not a serial killer or kidnapper. Buuuut if I was either of those things, I can tell you the other dozen people would have failed the test 😆😆
