Fall is quickly taking hold with the trees shedding their leaves and frost on the ground when I wake up. We put up more permanent fencing on the hill for the sheep to winter on. The waters in the pastures this morning had a nice layer of ice on top that I broke apart for the animals. I realized that I have been feverishly knitting christmas gifts but don’t have a pair of mittens for myself. I worked Gus today…
In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities. -Janos Arnay I thought it might be time to introduce ourselves since we have acquired so many new followers. If you have been following us from the beginning you might have noticed that Cacia Farms has been many things. We started out when I convinced my husband we would raise meat rabbits on our 1/4 acre lot in our small town. Well 30 some odd rabbits, 3 cats, 3 dogs, and…
When my husband woke up late and asked if the baby and I could do morning chores yesterday I had no idea what I was in for! Usually chores are easy and relaxing as I love going out and talking to my sheep (I call them my girls) all while Purdy dutifully watches over them. Everything was off to a great start the horses were well behave and eating in their stalls while I walked out to do the sheep…
While waiting for Purdy to eat her breakfast grain this is an ongoing conversation I have with Purl one of our Lincoln Longwools and my favorite sheep next to Ewestace of course. Purl: I see you brought Purdy grain for breakfast again… Me: Why yes Purl I did. Purl: I see and why do I not get grain? Me: Well Purl you don’t need grain to be nice you’re just friendly all the time. Purdy however will become a feral…
Yesterday my husband made our sheep a hay manger for their hay to be in so it is off the ground and dry. I can’t tell you how nice it is to have a husband that is handy and can build things for me when I need him to. My sheep will stay clean and dry this winter and so will their hay, this will make me and Purdy happy campers this winter!
I thought I would give a general update on the farm for everyone today. Lola the pig and I have come to an understanding, which is Lola isn’t allowed to taste me or eat me when I go into her enclosure and I will continue to feed her. Instead of charging me and trying to taste me she now will stand on the other side of her pen while I feed her and change her water. I know this is…
Purdy our guard llama has been here about a week now and I couldn’t be more pleased with her! She bonded very quickly with her sheep especially Ewestace, they all sleep together in the shelter at night even though I no longer shut them in. Every time I go down to give Purdy her breakfast or dinner she always comes right over to the fence as I am walking down to make sure it isn’t a threat to her sheep….
