Nigerian Dwarf Goat Bucklings

Robbie and Nickie are twin Nigerian Dwarf Goat Bucklings, born 29 March 2021. When we originally posted we were looking for a new home for them it only took 9 minutes and they were gone! Well, not gone, but spoken for! Unfortunately due to Covid and Travel Restrictions that deal fell through. So, once again these two darling boys are looking for a new home. For more information please call 902-907-0770. 

Expanding Our Woodland Pastures

Hauling Cages For Fencing

Today we’re working to move nine loads of 9 old mink cages toward the back of our Pasture area. These cages will be used to make fencing for our Nigerian Dwarf Goats and Berkshire Tamworth Hogs. 

The kind of exciting thing about this is, up till now, we’ve been turning all the previous little rotational pastures, averaging around 1000-1500 sq ft each, into garden plots. This new area will be the first actual woodland area that may get turned into a forage and pasture feed area. 

It’s also getting me to Wonder, where next! The area beyond the current pasture area is where the old hay field was, or is, and it needs to be rejuvenated. However, across from the current pastures is a possibility as it is thicker an would make a good goat and pig pasture. However, it’s probably also where I can get the most accessible firewood. The other possible area is right up hill of our house, which used to be gardens, and is also the easiest to get electric fencing setup on, which is also likely our next go to! 

As always, we invite you to leave your fears behind and come embrace the fun at Briden Farm, where the Tea is always on, and the Coffee is not far behind! 

A Tractor Ride at Briden Farm Part 3

A Tractor Ride at Briden Farm (Pt. 3)

So thankful You’ve taken time to share in our ride! 

In A Tractor Ride at Briden Farm Part 1 and A Tractor Ride at Briden Farm Part 2 You got to see how we’re turning our Woodlands to Pasture and later to Gardens with the help of our Nigerian Dwarf Goats and our Berkshire Tamworth Pigs. How we’re making fencing from up-cycling old Mink Cages, and even how much of a slope we have on certain parts of Briden Farm. In fact, You even discovered that sometimes I think it’s better to turn the camera off and concentrate on our driving! 

Now, get ready for A Tractor Ride at Briden Farm Part 3. In Part 3 You’ll see the conclusion, you’ll see how far I got, and get a sneak peek at the journey back! 

Thanks so much for watching our videos! I learnt a few things making this three part series of A Tractor Ride at Briden Farm. One thing is, now that we’ve got Fibe from Bell it takes minutes, not hours, to upload videos! This means that next time, I can do a long length video and know that it’s possible to get it uploaded! It also makes me think it might be nice to have a GoPro camera and some related equipment to make even better videos! Not sure how soon we can do that, but with your support maybe it’ll happen sooner rather than later!
