Wrestling Daisy

So many times I wish I had a video running in the barn yard. I've been doctoring Daisy for mastitis. She is just 2 years old and not bred, so it is unusual for her to have mastitis, but it happened. This meant I had to hold her while inserting medicine into her udder. Note Daisy is about 60# and I weight slightly less than 100#. I had hold of her pretty well as she is trying to bite my ear and of course trying to get away. Somehow, she jumped and we fell backwards. I'm now laying on my back with a goat upside down on top of me. I know if I let go, I won't catch her again and the medicine has not been administered. Have you ever tried to get up off your back only using your elbows with half your weight laying on you??? Well it is not easy and actually would have been funny to watch!

Daisy is on the right. She is with Meadowsweet her twin sister.

A flash past the front door.....

A flash past the front door. An explosion of chicken feathers. Ollie runs out the backdoor barking. And the fox trots up the hill to the road with a mouthful of Speckled Sussex.

Dang, my Nemesis is back......

2018 Open Barn Event

This year's Open Barn Event is scheduled for Sunday June 24. We have late season kids being born this year, so I'm waiting until we have several on the ground for the event.

Fresh spring soaps

Well I'm back to posting.
Lots of soap curing, some new ones and also the old favorites. These need a couple more weeks before they are ready. You will be able to purchase them through my Etsy site or PM in Facebook.

Don't miss the Open Barn Event!

Open Barn is on for tomorrow - Sunday May 21 from 1-4. Lots of mud.

Soap is on sale. Eggs available.

Goat Kids are arriving!

If you’d like to visit the goat farm this spring here’s your opportunity.

When: Sunday May 21 from 1-4pm

In case of questionable weather check my blog or FB page that morning for confirmation of the event. There may be some showers that day and lots of mud - come prepared.

For directions or questions PM Westfarm Goats Milk Soap FB page

Wear: old clothes (you will get hoof prints on them) old closed-toe shoes (no sandals) or boots (it could be icky mud), long pants (I don’t recommend shorts). Goats like to chew on dangly strings, long hair and zipper pulls.

A limited quantity of other goat milk goodies and pasture-raised eggs will be available for purchase.

CASH OR CHECKS are preferred, but if our WiFi is working I have a Square.
