They will never forget that SOMETIMES I have animal crackers 😆

This just in, jokes are fascist? Sounds like a shitty world to live in.

Yeah it's how they're programmed. Have you ever tried a lambar? It's probably a pain for just one but when I used to have a pack of bottle babies it was a lifesaver, you fill it up and then they can have a sip whenever they want

Lambs and kids ALWAYS act like they're hungry. I've got a bottle kid rn that can down sixteen ounces and be looking for nipples again five minutes later, even tho her belly is still sloshing 😆

It's like having a human baby in the house innit

They are extremely wet creatures

Kids have been disbudded and tattooed, gates were fixed, heimdall broke the gates again, and we all caught a cold. Long weekend!

BB is "helping" today. The goats are not thrilled.

It took a hilariously long time to realize they were talking about a boat its been a long year

Assorted naps

For awhile I could at least mute them but local stations seem to be turning that off...

WOOHOO EWES!

So yeah I definitely wrote Kahlua's dates wrong. She's getting close but not "due six days ago" close.

HEIMDALL WHY

I miss being warm

Their kibble stomachs are full but their meatball stomachs are distressing empty lol

A+ State of the Union counterprogramming by TCM.

According to the calendar, Kahlua HAS to have her babies today. So here's Tater's criminally smol doe kid, born between barn checks. Tater probably sneezed and then BAM there she was!

Muzha the Great Pyrenees pup and LGD in training practices keeping goats safe at a crib style hay feeder

Ok so we've been calling the new livestock guardian Muzha for weeks now and I stand by that descision. But Zhao Yun would also be a KICKASS name for an lgd. @chineselore.bsky.social I hope I spelled it right 😆

The population has been neither added to nor subtracted from, and that was as cold as its going to get this week!

Meanwhile I take care of one end, sif takes care of the other, and Shortcake is generally in the way. Pud is well cared for 😆

It's cold. Still no babies. I saw Tater's kid on an ultrasound a month ago or I would be beginning to suspect she's not actually pregnant.

I think this is the year that drives a lot of small holders out of herding. The weather has been murder. Good luck man, I'll let you know if I hear of anything

Godfrey Museum is to museum accreditation as Mistholme Museum is to worker safety? 🤣

Ok so if Tater and Kahlua wait until it's below freezing again to kid I'm going to be furious. But huddling out of the rain makes them look like they're about to drop an album.

Indeed. Winter sucks in LOTS of ways lol

I straight up wear my sunglasses more in the winter than in the summer. The glare is INTENSE even down here near sea level (I also pasty enough to wear sunscreen year round lol)

There's a reason that goat studies have a line for goat antics on the mortality table

Fuck do we need to set up some kind of buy Shep a yurt fund? Or a generator? It doesn't help now but goddamn you shouldn't be in this

River had a buck and a doe!

Horf can wait, and also I can't imagine a way giving hooficures is t worse in that weather nonsense. On the other hand, if the weather traps him with you now you have a farm hand? (I joke, stay safe)
