manic monday

It has been a very long Monday.
It went something like this:

Wake up
Feed and water the turkeys
Then the rabbits 
Monday morning breakfast meeting
Go pick up express mail from the post office
Cut down a random tree in the yard
Drive out to tend the laying hens
Move the rabbit tractors
Move and feed the little pigs 
Then the big pigs 
Set up the sheep move, water
Water the turkeys again
Throw together leftovers for lunch
Clean up giant mess in the kitchen
Bum money for gas from daniel
Drive to Farmville to pay my lawyer
Clean out rabbit cages
Load up cattle panel for sheep fence 
Play in the rain
Milk iris the goat 
Finish moving sheep
Cook dinner

and now we are here.
nine days left until payday, and groceries.

I forgot to take a picture of the meatloaf and baked potatoes we had tonight. But wait, I do have a picture of the chicken stir fry we had on Saturday. We enjoyed it.

a few lessons in rabbit husbandry

We now have two years of experience under our belts raising rabbits. We have learned a lot of useful information already, but we are far from experts. That's the thing with farming, with raising animals, you will never be done learning. Bring it on. As of today we have 17 rabbits in our little group, and the more animals you have the more likely you are to have problems. Here are a few of ours: the girls The first problem we had is with the smallest litter we have, which we have had in a large dog crate on the grass. They are starting to get pretty big, and coming of age, they are starting to get a little frisky. This is bad news bears. I was out watching them and saw three boys ganging up on one girl, so in a hurry I fixed up a cage and moved her into it. She was visibly shaken, breathing quickly, her hair a mess with tufts pulled out (that was the first sign I saw that something was going on.) The next d...

puppy play date

Yesterday Trilli got to have a puppy play date with her best friend, Oreo, and a new boyfriend, Yeti. Everyone in our group has a dog or two, so socializing them is essential. With several large breeds covered in our pack, they can be a bit much at first. Oreo (the pit bull) is quick like lighting, nudging the others with her nose and batting her paws. Trilli (husky and lab) loves to play but has the biggest mouth, constantly barking. We're working on that. Yeti is a basset hound and great Pyrenees mix, still growing and just beautiful. He got along with the girls wonderfully, outside taking turns pouncing on each of them. It's great to watch a pack of dogs together, it's so natural for them, their own kind; friends.  Hopefully next time I'll remember to bring my camera! Until next time, Angela Kelly
