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…

Briden at Two Weeks

Briden, Our Bottle Baby Lamb, was born February 22, 2024, and we’ve had him living in the house! Recently we’ve moved him to a stall in the Basement. He still comes up to have his bottle and then we excercise him by walking him around the house. Before he returns to his basement apartment he jumps on my lap and this video shows him Giving Kisses!

Briden at 10 Days Old

Not sure I’ll ever bring a Bottle Baby, Kid or Lamb, in the house again! The past ten days has left me feeling like getting a vasectomy! I’m not even the Father! Listening to a baby Lamb scream, like a baby, is hard on the head! Having poopy floors, puddles, and wet feet! Frustrating! 2am and 6am Feedings! Argh! Imagine!

While all of that is hard on the head, and makes me wonder how, or why, anyone has kids! Two or Four Legged!

However, in those little moments, when He is at His cutest, and looks at You cause He’s imprinted on You and you’re now His Mother! Those Moments! Those are the Moments that make it all worth it! I Guess?

This video, hopefully, captures a few of those moments from the first ten days of Briden’s life…

Soon enough, all the negatives will be a distant memory, and Briden will rejoin the flock out n Spring Pastures in Rotational, Electric Fencing. Fencing We’ll probably get from Vevor.

Dad, Briden, and Roscoe

Sadly, sometimes a Sheep will reject her Lamb. Sometimes it means it will die, sometimes it may survive, but seldom will it be adopted by the family Dog! Roscoe, our Yellow Lab, (I call Him a Golden Lab, because there’s nothing Yellow about Him), plays protector to all our animals He Mothers them all, even our cats curl up with him and even give him chest massages! So, I guess, I shouldn’t be too surprised to see Roscoe step up and Adopt a new born Lamb, who was rejected by it’s Mother! This Video Shows…
