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?

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!

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.
