Animals Enjoying Their First Spring Pastures

Animals on Spring Pastures

After too long a time in the Barn, due to cold rainy and winter weather, the animals we’re having a grand time out on their first Spring Pastures today. 

Here at Briden Farm we use Rotational Pastures, where all our animals get moved in a regular basis. Except for parts of the Winter when it’s to wet, or cold, for them to get outside. 

Lara, and her two daughters, Mosley and Ginger, our Heritage Pigs, were funny, wish I had that on video. The daughters are about 250 lbs each and Lara is well over double that! Yes, probably between 500-600 lbs! So, when they are running, dancing and snorting and barking (yes pigs bark too), it is quite the sight to see! 

Of course, when the Sheep heard the Pigs, the were bleating and blatting to get out too! So, it was funny to watch them also! 

The Goats were last to come out and they too were pretty happy to feel the warmth of the sun, and be able to much on the littlest areas of green grass! 

All were quite pleased! I too was quite pleased because I love seeing our animals happy! Just have a look…

Would You like to spend time with our animals and enjoy a farm tour?

Terri and Her kids at 8 weeks old

Terri was born to Nanna at Briden Farm, 6 July 2022, was bred, and then Terri Freshened on 24 Jan 2024 with two beautiful Babies. A little Nigérian Dwarf Buckling and Doeling. Shorty, was their Dad. Shorty resided her last Summer before moving on to a new herd, as Bucks often do. Which brings us to this little Nigerian Dwarf Buckling. He’ll soon need to be moving on and we’re open to offers from good homes! Interested? He’s the one on the left in the photo.
