future generations

peek-a-boo




A morning ride to Cranbourne to pick up our 400 new lovely mini ladies.
Our babies are packed so beautifully and safely in these perfect little boxes - they are warm and cozy and happy - we haven't lost any of these ones in transit ever (which can easily happen as they're only a day old).

My two youngest and I pick them up and have a very cheep cheep cheepy ride back home to their new home for the next few weeks...


Their cozy and warm container where they learn to grow and socialise.


Savannah was particularly excited with many very expressive pointing sessions and squeals of delight.  I have to admit, they're so darn cute that you need to have some cuddling sessions.  She wasn't THAT brave yet with the day old chicks.  I bet next time she will be though!  Monty however is always the right hand farm man.  Helping with all and fearless of everything.
 
 

These girls are the future of our cow herd.  Feeling a bit frisky and cheeky the other day - braving the electric fences for a bit of a tiki tour around the farm... Hooking a 9 in their tails and kicking it up. 

Fingers crossed that we'll be able to buy our farm this year.
We've got so many irons in the fire, but we wouldn't have it any other way.  

Life is good. Busy, stressful at times, muddy at times, warm and blissful at times, but good. We never take for granted that we have all we need at our fingertips to nourish ourselves, sustain our lives and create a healthy future generation.  We're happy that we can share a bit of that with you too!
