Just an update for everyone worried about Lacey needing a vet or a c-section. She still gets up on the milk stand every day to eat her grain and makes sure she licks it clean. She’s a very hungry Mama! The most that I can do for her is make sure she is strong and healthy by giving her the best and proper nutrition to support her through her pregnancy and delivery and then for when she’s feeding her kids and producing a lot of delicious milk. So that’s what we do and we watch very closely every day to make sure they are acting normal and not “off” because if they are then that’s when we have to act quickly to figure out what’s wrong and what needs to be done. Lacey is about 10 days from her due date and so far she is acting normal and doing great, just big and uncomfortable. 🙂

Lorelai did kid yesterday which was a surprise because she wasn’t bagged up at all. But she is the Doe who had been in milk for 2 straight years and was still producing so much milk even at 3 months pregnant and she wouldn’t dry up. I regret now for not forcing her to dry up like she needed to by the time she was 2 months from her due date. Instead she didn’t end up drying up til about 3 weeks ago. I wasn’t sure what to expect for her if she would get colostrum and bag up before kidding like they are suppose to do or not. So I had frozen colostrum on hand and plenty of milk to feed babies if needed. Not ideal or how I wanted it to go, but knew it was my own fault for not forcing Lorelai to dry off ateast 2 months before kidding like she needed. 😖

So she went into labor and had a doeling first who looks just like her. I had to go in and investigate for the second because something wasn’t right. And good thing I did because what I felt was very strange and I knew it wasn’t a live kid. It was a kid that never developed and just stayed inside mom til she delivered the other one. I’ve never had this happen before but it is something that can happen. I then went in to check and make sure there weren’t anymore dead fetus’s or to see if maybe there was another live kid in there. And thankfully there was, a healthy buckling who looks totally opposite of the doeling. 🥰 Both kids and Lorelai are doing well, still hoping Lorelai will get milk in but I’m not sure what will happen so as of now babies are being bottle fed colostrum every 2-3 hours. No sleep for me last night 😵‍💫

Summertime on the farm means non stop work and very long hours! Up at 4am and basically go non stop til I finally can get in the shower and get into bed around 8-9pm. My husband is up at 3am and works our landscaping business with our son out in the heat all day and then comes home and has to water and take care of the nursery/tree farm we have on our property. It’s 24/7 for us both🫠
It feels like there are so many projects and we still don’t have time to get everything done we need to! But we are making progress and things are happening around the farm. Only another 100 things to do and maybe we will be caught up! lol

After almost 2 years we finally have our whole house back up generator installed. So if the power goes out during a monsoon storm our well will still work so we can water our animals and the nursery trees and shrubs! And keep all our freezers and refrigerators running. We also got our garden redone and got a fence put up for a wind block around it. We are doing a breezeway cover between our garage and house that will eventually be closed in and made into a butlers pantry for more kitchen space/storage. And I’ve been working on repainting my feed storage shed that we’ve had for 10 years and it was finally time to repaint. Now I have 2 other sheds to do at some point. Lawrence is trying to get another greenhouse put up that will be 20x64. He already has one that’s 20x40. It is nice to stop and look at the progress even when it feels like there’s still so much that’s not done. We HAVE accomplished a lot and have so much to be thankful for. We are truly Blessed to get to live this life God has given us. We want to live it to the fullest and honor Him in all we do. 🙏🏻

The newest kids on the farm and their Mama Rosa ventured out from the kidding pen this evening to eat with the rest of the moms and kids in their pen. 🥰 Rosa is an excellent mother and is very attentive with them ☺️

I finally got the chance and actually had some time to spend an hour sheering our Great Pyrenees Sarge the other day! Lol I didn’t really sheer him but that’s what it looks like. Poor Sarge was way past due for some work on his long shaggy coat. The problem with Sarge is he has always been standoffish and on the timid side. He’s the only LGD we’ve ever had that has been like this and he’s been this way since we got him when he was around 6 months old. He’s not mean or aggressive but he won’t let anyone pet him and he always just stays far enough away from you that you can’t get to him or touch him. This makes doing anything to him a big challenge. I didn’t want a long haired guardian dog to begin with and ofcourse the one I get is one that won’t let me handle him 🙃 He’s been needing some grooming done for quite awhile now but anytime I’d try to get close to catch him, forget it he is not letting it happen. Finally the other day he was sleeping in the bucks pen since the bucks have been out to pasture and I was able to hurry up
and close him in there before he could escape. So then I spent the next hour cutting off mats and using the shedding comb all over. He doesn’t look pretty but he’s way better than he was and he should be much cooler now with all the extra hair gone. I also was able to cut his one dew claw that curls around and digs into him if I don’t cut it. I just haven’t been able to catch him to do this lately and so that also needed to be done. He did great and let me give him a good grooming. Now if I can just catch him once a month to do this that would really be great🤞🏼

Poor Lacey still has about 2 1/2 weeks until her due date. Don’t worry she’s not in labor yet! This is just how she sounds every day, she’s so big a so uncomfortable, poor mama!

My first freshener Rosalinda kidded this evening, earlier then I expected but she was at day 145 so I guess she wasn’t wasting anytime getting these kids out! She was bred to my Polled Buck Spartacus. She had a buckling and a doeling. Not positive yet who is polled and who isn’t because they are very small kids. But they were up and walking quickly and are figuring out how to nurse! We had monsoon storm La come in today and even though we didn’t get rain at our place it was cloudy and it cooled down from the 90’s to the 70’s. It was a perfect time for her to kid! And she did great with no issues😁
