Just thought you might like to see some of the wool after it’s gone through the initial Skirting and Washing Stages. It still needs cleaning, and fluffing, and carding, and then it’ll need to be spun! Of what Fun! Have You Ever Spun!?
Dolly, our Babydoll Shetland had her first little Lamb, this Jet Black Ewe Lamb, out on pasture. We discovered them yesterday when we went to do chores. We moved her in a stall, in the barn, and today we did this video showing what a good mom she is. Yesterday she was nursing and caring for her newborn lamb, and today this little lamb is just a bouncing ball of joy! Have a look…
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?
