Our tiny Pygmy Herd & a New Pyr

Lily the Pygmy

We brought home three more goats Sunday. Many thanks to our friend, Jerri Ritter. She sent us on our way with a pygmy, a mini La Mancha, a mixed doe and a year-old Great Pyrenees.

Buck

Stopped by the Escambia County Co-op's Brewton Livestock Auction and saw the cutest little guy! I was the lucky high bidder (considering how high the rest of the goats went today). After we got him home and in the pen, he calmed right down. Has a very sweet little personality. Looking forward to picking up two nannies to keep him company tomorrow from our friend.

New on the Farm

This weekend, we welcome five new animals to our farm. Sorry these pics are so dark. I spent a couple of hours with Daddy, feeding the cows and horses. I guess the sunlight just got away from me.

Penelope and Maybelle came to us from Crestview.

 I bought three Californian bunnies at the feed store on Sunday. They are absolutely precious. Appears to be a male and two females.

Two of the three bunnies.

Oops! I forgot about the two splash hens and partridge silkie hen.  :)

Come on, Brownie!!!

Brownie is a first-time mother and we're all a little anxious.  She was bred when we bought. Not quite sure when she'll kid. Judging by her udder, soon.

Benefits of Probiotics... From Eden Hills

I read a fantastic post on Eden Hills Blog today and had to share!

from Teresa...
I am a very firm believer in the wonderful benefits of probiotics for animal health care.

I’m going to share the story of Goliath’s illness because I’m hoping someone might learn.  Goliath was born here on the farm, and he was always a snuggler and a hugger.  He was so sweet!  I decided to keep him.  I even went out and bought three lovely Boer nannies so he would have some girls of his own.
