Miss Moo arrived in April 2010, and Buddy was born in May. Miss Moo provides us with the best creamy natural milk - more than we can use! We have raw milk available.
Lambs as usual in April!
And kids! This is Keesha with her second set of triplets.
A summer-long fence and laneway building project took up more of our time than we had hoped...
...but will help us better utilize our pastures and move animals. Perhaps we will have more free time in 2011...
Dan finally got a donkey! Meet Misty, a mini-donkey, born in June 2010.
Misty is in charge of the goats and helps with evening chores (at least she thinks so). Someday she will learn to pull a cart.
The cow herd went from zero, to one, to two....
... to three (Spice, a Red Angus heifer and future producer of beef calves)...
... and four (Woody, a Red Angus steer). We will begin producing some beef each year to sell by the side or quarter. Angus and Jersey/Angus crosses.
That is Buddy behind Moo on November pasture. Look how fast he grew in 6 months!
Snow! What we got in 2011. Spring and new babies are only days away at the time of this photo (March).
