Loved this vlog 😊
I love how YouTubers connect and share. It's awesome!!
It is possible that because you let the does keep their kids this year, they may be better mothers next time (hopefully a switch gets flipped!) 💛🤎🖤
lol, thanks Jess yes gunfire is part of living in the country! I am moving from across the road from a gunsmith to a me property that is in earshot of the local gun range! I don’t mind it! When I lived in the city hearing gunfire and helicopters flying overhead was not a sound that brought anyone comfort! So funny how cows have so much curiosity when it comes to their people! Happy Gardening! Looking forward to seeing the “Jess” 🌻 🤗
Ah! We have a Trixie this year too!!!
❤️
How soon I find your vlog, Jess?
Sunflower Steve is amazing! That is the coolest thing!
My local feed store has to hold chicks and make sure they're good for a few hours before selling. They can't even post they have chicks because customers (and employees) find out they got there, message everyone they know, and they have a line out the door waiting. The first day they got chicks people were lined up for two hours before they were available, and they sold out in half an hour. I assume the tractor supple is the same, I can't even check out without the cashier having to answer a call about chicks. It's crazy!
I had a similar experience with a bottle fed mum. I would put her on stantion and the kids to feed until mum eventually had no choice when they grew. I didn't bottle feed them just stantion feeding morning and night. The next kidding she fed them without any issue.
Our local small town sold 350 chicks out in 45 min. Love your family and videos.
The boys sure are good farm hands!
your own sunflower!!! That is so cool!
Love the baby goats ❤❤❤
Lolol popping off. Enjoy!
Plans vs expectations… I would encourage you to do whatever you need to do to reach your heart place. If that means one season of hybrid raising the kids to help train the moms and/or raise babies more likely to be good moms., and dam rearing is your end goal, then the short term labor is worth it. However, if you are truly okay with bottle raising, then go for it. Either way you choose, just make sure that it's moving you towards your long term vision. I will be rooting for your success in whatever path your heart leads you down. ❤
This is so random…..I love your floral curtains!! Did you make or purchase them? If purchased would you mind sharing where you got them? Thank you!!
The kind of knowledge you're kids receive is very great …
No institution can teach them these things…
Crochet Sunflower Steve an Afghan with his Sunflowers on it! That would be a very personal and cool gift!
Funny story, sort of, my Sunflower Steve seeds produced wonderfully. Much to the delight of the resident squirrels. I saved one 😮. Hopefully a better year. The Van Gogh sunflowers were beautiful till they disappeared . Hoping for a better sunflower year.🌻
