    Hi from Scotland oh my what a day jess I suppose just another day on the farm just lovly to see your lamming season I just love lambs here in scotland lambing season starts around March and April somtimes earlier it's common that lambs can be born February and is common that farmers have to dig the lambs out of deep snow the boys were so excited to help so glad you found out the problem with your wee goat take care all the best to your lovly family take care.

    I love your videos, girl. You feed my soul. It's encouraging to see your interaction with your boys. Ben has such a love of gardening and is so sweet with the animals. I no longer live in an apartment. THANK MY GOD!!! Our dtr got us to move into the trailer park right across the driveway from her. I love it out here. It doesn't come without its downfalls tho. The ground is hard like concrete, it lacks soil, doesn't grow grass but is full of stickers. My plan is to pay for a chip drop and spread the woodchips about a foot deep over our yard between our trailer and the next. I figure by the time a foot of wood decomposes, this will make for better soil and will hopefully smoother out the stickers. I just have to get rid of the ants, first. They are everywhere, yet no mounds. (Grok says they are from Argentina) Then I will get about 20 or 25 of those molasses-lick 25-gal tubs, fill them full of the black compost from Bailey's Bark, and grow in the tubs. This will be easier on my back, and I pray for better soil to grow in. I'm so glad you figured out the issue with your sheep losing weight. At least now, you know how to deal with it. I'm glad Virgie is ok, and I'm sure she will fatten up quick now. That lamb is adorable. Thnx Jess for sharing.

    I read your substack and you were talking about you were having to watch your favorite goat die and how sad it is. Were you referring to Virgie and this situation? Did she end up taking a turn for the worse? Oh dear I hope she pulls through. Poor baby. Breaks my heart. 💔 Hugs 🫂 Jess and many prayers. 🙏

    Poor little Virgy(sp?) girl! Glad she’s okay! Just curious how your silky roosters manage to stay alive if they don’t live in a coop?

    I love lambing season, my uncle and cousins had a lamb ranch in Yakima called Robert’s ranch/or farm, but it was always hectic during lambing season.

    I remember farm drama fondly . . . At the risk of repeating myself, Jess, I wish you and your family and fur babies, big and small, the best of Health throughout the New Year! 🐈‍⬛🐈🐕🐎🐂🐑🐐🐓🐂🌱🪴🌳🏡🙂❤

    What a wonderful variety of characters your livestock are. Seeing them all in proximity is absolutely amazing. I love the shot of your cat observing the scene. Thank you for sharing your everyday reality. It really is pretty wonderful for this country girl now old lady living in a city. God bless you and your family.

    Always something huh? 😊 I’d feed Virgie some Dyne with her feed to help add weight, and just to be safe maybe test for Johns

  29. @taraconroy6631

    Wishing best recoveries for your little Virgie 🙏 So many lessons the farm must be teaching your boys and family. We all need to get back up after being knocked down by bullies 😔💗

    I used to help my daughter at her High school’s farm. Cows will bully goats and sheep. I hope things settle down for you. I can hardly wait to watch the lambs kiddle.

  32. @julie-annepineau4022

    So glad you figured it out, that Virgie will be ok. Cow version of mean girls is much scarier. Anyone else notice the lamb and the cat are the same size?
