Homesteady - Stories of Living off the Land

When you leave a home to go on vacation you always worry about a few things... THat's why so many people will hire a house sitter to look after the house, pet, garden, etc.

Now add a few cows, pigs and camels to that mix... Yeah! Leaving the homestead can be a bit of an ordeal!

What do we do when we leave the Homestead? How do we make sure everything not only survives while we are away, but thrives?

Months ago our oldest daughter started talking about missing goats. She was the caretaker of our last bunch of Nubians, and she really liked them.

K and I love letting our kids have animals of their own to care for. We both feel they learn so much from animal husbandry. 

But could we do goats again? We have had so many problems over the years with them! 

After a few months of planning and infrastructure changes, we decided to give our daughter the green light. 

Find out what we plan on doing differently this time around, what kind of goats we got, and some of my Daughters plans for her animals in this Podcast!

We were shocked this week to find a little of pigs being born....

We bread our Kune Kune pigs, watch for signs of pregnancy, and even were preparing for the births! 

But something caught us off guard, and when the dust settled we had 14 little piglets to care for and one little deformed one who's life hangs in the balance...

Can we save him? And what happened that had us surprised by pig births?

Join us today for lunch (12:30 eastern time) for our live podcast as we share with you the incredible week we have had here at the farm!

K actually said NO to an animal... I was SHOCKED!

I think we all agree the most fun part of homesteading is new animals... right? 

A new breed of chickens, a pair of cute little goat kids, or your first cow! 

It is SO FUN to get new animals. 

And that is why it is so dang hard to say NO when you have an opportunity to get a new animal! 

K and I are both pretty bad at this whole animal self-control thing... and that is why it was so surprising last week we BOTH... K INCLUDED... decided to say NO to a new animal we were offered!

Also we will have some fun cow pregnancy updates, a camel worm issue to talk about, and a live guinea egg candling reveal!

We are currently incubating guinea eggs in a Brinsea Incubator. We have used this little fully automatic incubator to hatch guineas and chickens for years! CLICK HERE to check out the BRINSEA INCUBATOR
