My goats love to munch! After the holidays, I give our Christmas tree to the goats to enjoy, and that they do! We cut down our own tree so I know that it has not been treated with any chemicals, I don’t use spray snow or tinsel and I double check to make sure I don’t leave any ornaments on the tree. It gives my goats a little something different to munch on during the winter, when there is not much else around. #goats #farm #hobbyfarm Hen House, Hobby Farms, Munch, Goat Milk, Herding, Tinsel, Chemicals, Moose Art

We just lost this sweet gal after a lot of years, gallons of milk and a few cute kids. Often our animals become like “one of the family” and dealing with the loss of a pet can be sad, bring on some tears, and may even be hard to cope with at first. But it has been determined that actively grieving the loss of a loved pet is normal and healthy. #goat #pet #death #lossofapet #greive #saanan #hobbyfarm #hobbyfarming #hobbyfarmer #farmanimal #farmher Goat Herding, Time Heals, Important Life Lessons, Baby Goats, Sad Day, The Day Will Come, Baby Chicks

Fall is a great time of year for animals. Gardens are nearing the end and it’s time for yard clean up. Farm animals are the perfect helpers for cleaning up excess garden produce and plant trimmings. #garden #gardening #farmanimals #cleanup #farming #goats #chickens #pumpkin Raising Chickens, Local Pumpkin Patch, Fall Clean Up, Animal Help, Large Animals, Wild Birds

This old gal is teaching these young ones what is good to eat and what is not. All social animal groups have a hierarchy, or pecking order. It’s just a part of nature. These hierarchies help to establish order in the group and the leader is usually responsible for finding food and protecting the others. Establishing a pecking order can seem brutal and generally involves bullying, biting, pecking, head butting... #chickens #goats #hobbyfarm #farmer #farmanimals #hierarchy This Old Gal, Cool Things To Make, Old Things, Pekin Duck, Drawing Blood, Pecking Order, Nature Words

These gals are doing so good, growing like weeds! That’s one of the things that they love to eat as well...weeds! Goats are some of the best foragers. As I clean out my garden, trim back grapevines and pull up edible plants, I always offer some of these tasty treats to my goats. I think that goats are a great addition to any farm! #goat #goats #nubians #kids #foragers #hobbyfarm #hobbyfarming #hobbyfarmer #farmanimals #farm #farmers Types Of Goats, Kayaking, Canoeing, Snowboarding, Skiing

Even though summer is waning, we still have some warm days ahead. Making sure your animal has plenty of water is so important. Animals can live without food for a few days, but will dehydrate quickly in warm weather without water. So how much does your animal drink everyday?

This cute baby is a Nubian goat, named for Nubia, Africa. They are a larger breed of dairy goat with a distinctive Roman nose and floppy ears, and the milk that they produce is some of the highest in butterfat content. Nubians are very friendly, gentle and easy to work with. #goats #babygoats #nubian #farmanimals #ears Collie Mix, Rough Collie, Barnyard Animals, Cute Animals, Pyrenean Mastiff, Nubian Goat, Farming Life, Pitt Bull

There are many reasons why you might want to bottle feed your baby goat. You might have a doe who just doesn’t have enough milk to feed her babies, or you just want to encourage them to be more people friendly. You might be taking on some kids from another farm who are not ready to be weaned. Whatever your circumstance, bottle feeding your baby goat should not be a difficult or dreaded process. It should be fairly simple and enjoyed as much by you as the babies. #goats #kids #farmers #feeding Milk Bottle Baby, Kids Bottle, Baby Bottles, Feeding Goats, Belly Ache, Boer Goats, Goat Kidding, Baby Weaning

Goats are a fun addition to any farm. Not only do they make great pets, but they can also be a productive, useful animal to have around. Before adding a goat to your farm, it’s important to gain a basic understanding of the types of goats and their needs. #goats #farmanimals #animals #farmers Farmers, Gain, Understanding, Pets

I finally hopped on the feed fermentation bandwagon and I learned a few interesting things about grains, seeds and legumes and the whole fermentation process.

Rose’s reaction when I told her there was more rain expected in the forecast today. One thing that goats seem to really dislike is wet weather. When the first raindrop falls from the sky, there is a goat stampede to the barn.

Hay! Nothing beats a big pile of hay for breakfast! Hay is an important staple in the diet of some farm animals. It contains nutrients and roughage that animals need for digestion and overall good health.
