We are just about 2 weeks away from our first kids on the ground. What’s really exciting is one of Wyatt’s show doe’s will be giving us our first kids!

We had a beautiful new baby born today! I didn’t expect 13 to calve for a month or so but here she is. Happy and healthy and a heifer to boot!

Miss Emmy Louise and her 4 little friends got turned out in the doe pasture with the big girls today. She followed momma Maudie right in the stall tonight. So she got a little milk stand lesson.

Today I want to all about a hard subject, the dreaded list… It’s my needs vs. wants list. I’m sure I’m not the only one who writes down list after list of my needs and wants that change and evolve almost daily at times. I do have one large running tally that involves all aspects of my life, home and farm. And as I check things off, I notice that sometimes I don’t need things I’ve wrote down. They turn into those “that would be nice” things. And some things on the list move up to the needs or needs now lol. I am ready for some is these get checked off, but it’s okay to make do until I can make it work.

This beautiful little lady gets to call our farm home. She’s our first registered boer, percentage doe. If you know me, you know I like to raise our own and she is the first step to raising our own show goats. Out of some nice, ennobled stock and sweet as pie. Can’t wait to see what she produces for us.

There is always a plan for everything, sometimes we just don’t know what the plan is lol. With the loss of Ruth, I’ve started stand training Sally. She has some mighty big hooves to fill, and she’s no where as polite as Ruth, she is coming along just fine in training.

The sad sign that a life has ended here. As farmers, we try to maintain a level of indifference to our livestock. Not that we don’t care or are heartless, we just have to be nearly clinical at times when it comes to loss. Loss is always hard to navigate, and losing a great animal hurts, but I have to soldier on for the remainder to keep this ship afloat. I will miss my Ruth dearly, she has raised many babies that she never birthed, she was the auntie to all the littles born in the pasture and loved to baby sit them all so mothers could graze. I hope that those with her daughters will love them as much as I loved Ruth. This collar will eventually be passed on to another beautiful soul that makes its way to my farm. But for now, it serves as a reminder of one of my best girls whom has a special place in my heart.
