Ever since I got Lily, I had been instantly in love. After meeting her, I came to the conclusion that I really wanted to breed Icelandics. The search for a ram began. Lily’s breeder said that she would have some un-related rams in the spring. Daddy messaged her (near the end of June, so we…

Patience, Satine, and kids out on grass!
We got Patience, Satine, Two Fry, Fanty, and Mingo outside! Last year we set up a six strand electric fenced in pasture. Patience and Satine are probably our most troublesome goats in the case of keeping them in a fence – they usually jump. Satine is a hit and miss, sometimes she jumps, sometimes she…
Get out of my barn!
We put up an electric net for the goats and Faith, and put some of them outside. They have really enjoyed being out there! We set the net up around our garden, we are going to let them eat it right down so that there will be less grass, and thus it will be easier…
Kidding Season!
So far, Patience had a female kid named Two fry, Satine had twins, Ruth had twins, and then Naomi had twins as well! It has been so exciting to go out to do chores each morning, knowing that there is the possibility of finding a baby goat, or two! It’s even more exciting when you…
Patience’s Daughter
Today, on March19th, Patience had a little kid. Patience was the daughter of Satine, our little bottle goat that lived in the house, do you remember her? I was about to get my coat and boots on to go do chores, when Dexter- who had already started his chores just minutes before-, came in the…
Bottle Lamb
I still give Patience two litres of milk a day, and she appreciates it a lot. I find that bottle fed animals are always the nicest. Faith is afraid of me, she runs from me, and she bleats for April when I hold her. I have started giving her grain, but it wasn’t enough. So…
Pasture animals
This week, most of our animals are out in the pasture. We put the cows out in the pasture, and brought the sheep, the goats, Patience, and Rocket. They were doing well on fresh, new grass. Then it came time to milk the goats, we brought out Satine, and Siri. But the sheep and the…
Lamb, and Goat Total
As you probably know, we have had a lot of sheep, and goats going into labour recently. I thought I would total up how many were born on our little homestead, and how many made it. First, let’s start off with the birth that happened first. Satine had her kids first, she had triplets. Two…
Weeks in quarantine with a goat.
After we went and dropped off the puppies, we had to stay in quarantine for a week, so I thought I would sum it up. Having little Patience around has made it lots of fun! We had a little bit of goat yoga at first, Patience kept jumping on top of us. She also tried…
Miracles in birthing hours
When Patience survived, it was most definitely a miracle. With that being a miracle, I have another two (mostly one) to share. March 28th, Briee, one of our pregnant Romanov sheep had two little lambs. It was dark out, and Briee kept yawning so cutely, but I felt bad that she was sooo tired. She…
Puppy update, leading to sale
It is a miracle! We have sold most of the puppies! Out of all of those playful, energetic, cuddly, fluff balls of furr, Lycka, Snoopy, Holstein, Bruno, Moo, Lyra, and Scarlett have sold. Next time Zoe has a litter of puppies, I would like to name a puppy something that reminds me of the word…
Adventures of Patience the goat, the Miracle goat.
This post and the following are adventures of Patience the goat, who has not any patience. The daughter of Satine, a triplet, and the one and only house goat!! We have a lot of animals. A lot, a lot. One of them, named Satine, had a baby. Not one, but three. One of those three…
