Farm!


Hello again, over the past few weeks on my farm there have been a lot of new faces.
Yes that means babies!
I have many different animals on my family farm. We have Goats, Cows, a dog, cats, ducks, and an alpaca.
So far there is only about 4 goats left to have their kids. Right now, we have 9 healthy baby goats. Out of all of them my favorites by far are Paisley and Cooper.

The thing so unique about these kids is they had to be bottle fed for the first few weeks of their life. Paisley, a sweet little girl, her mother didn’t want her so we took to feeding her ourselves.
There is special formula milk for baby goats that we tried to feed her but she didn’t like it at all. That’s when we decided to milk her mother and feed it to her from a bottle.

 She is so used to people feeding her she loves being with people. 

Now Cooper. Cooper is my other favorite. Cooper started off being really sick. His mom wasn’t making enough milk and he wasn’t getting the nutrients he needed. When I found him I knew that there was something wrong. I stayed at my dad’s house for a week and took care of him. I fed him a bottle about 3-4 times a day and I started to see a huge improvement.
He is now a healthy boy, and very friendly towards people to.
