Everyone likes to share home videos and I am no
exception.
So here are some of my
recent home videos.
At least once a day eggs must be collected from the chicken's nesting boxes. For some reason the chickens love my shoes. I think they think my shoe laces are worms to eat.

Sometimes I wear muck shoes instead.

On January 3, 2014 Bella had triplets. The first few days Bella was very protective of her babies and would refuse to leave the shelter area where she had the babies. We had some cold nights so we kept them locked in the shelter with alfalfa and a bucket of water for protection against the cold and protection against the other goats who would want to steal the alfalfa. After a few days it warmed up and was no longer necessary to lock Bella and the kids up at night. Goats are a prey animal and so it is important for kids to grow fast and be able to run away from danger.
The triplets are only 12 days old in this video. The does have white ears and the buck has black ears. Brown doe is named Cocoa. Black doe (white ears) is named Pepper. Black buck (black ears) is named Coal.

We are in the process of building raised garden beds using the abundant supply of rocks on the property. On Jan. 19 we brought Bella and her kids into the garden to eat. Nubians need a lot of extra nutrition that alfalfa provides so they can produce lots of milk. Our other goats really don't have need of that extra nutrition right now so we have been separating Bella from the rest of the herd to eat. Of course she wants her kids with her, so we brought all four into the garden while we were working. The kids mostly played while Bella ate.
A quick video of our Great Pyrenees pups at about 20 weeks old. They are growing fast.
