Post sedation nap time!
Pasty got topped off twice after her initial sedation dose, and is still pretty sleepy despite the reversal but she is enjoying a nice grassy nap.
Thank you newstreamvet for coming out to pull the quills from Patsy today! We really appreciate it!

I hope your Monday is starting out better than Patsy’s! Some lessons are learned the hard way.
She of course will not let me get close to the quills so here comes a farm call. 🤕

Two new friends came home to live on the Ranch!
We are excited for our current alpaca, Harrison, to have a few friends of his own kind. Harrison loves his goats, but I can’t wait to see what his reaction is!
What should we name them? I was thinking Harrison, Ringo, and Lenny (Lennon) might be cute (they are both boys)! What do you think? Throw out some ideas for us!
I am so pumped for baby calves and I have been watching our girls closely for signs of nearing delivery. ❤️
We had our cows live covered for about 6 months, meaning we had a bull in with them (and did not Artificially Inseminate). Although we know all of our cows were bred, we never had them preg-checked so their due dates are just an estimate. Udder changes (and later ligament softening and lengthening) are things we are and will be monitoring.
Last week I noticed some changes in Martina’s udder which was surprising as she we thought she was bred last. She actually has a good bit of colostrum that can be expressed so now I am rethinking our delivery sequence, but time will tell! We are hoping to have 3 white calves with dun or black points like our bull.
We are looking forward to having visitors meet them this Fall! 🍂🎃

We have just two baby goats left from kidding! A little wether and doe that are brother and sister. Neither were disbudded but the doe never grew in horns (naturally polled) 🐐
Please excuse the goat butt in the photo- we have a couple that get very excited to see us and are often “in the way” all the time!

Dolly looks to be about 58 weeks pregnant but unfortunately has another month or two to go! She’s alway been a big gal, but she looks to be having a litter of of calves instead of just one 😅
Poor girl- relatable.

Hey there! We are looking to partner with a non-profit to serve alcohol at the Ranch this Fall on Saturdays and Sundays.
Does anyone know of a non-profit (or two) that would be interested in partnering with us to raise funds for a good cause?

IMPORTANT!
We are sad to announce that we will NOT be open for Sunflower photography bookings this year.🥺
We are unfortunately having to address an invasion of a w**d that has choked out our crop this year. We were hopeful that the stalks would shoot up despite the w**ds, and we could address the issue after the bloom, but it has become clear that will not be the case. The stalks have remained short and the field is quite sparse in areas due to the competing w**ds.
We are sorry for the inconvenience, but this is sometimes how farming goes! We can’t wait to see everyone this Fall!
