I have been pregnant five times (three babies) so I am no stranger to the worries of growing a mini human can bring. Over the last few months though, my worries have been transferred to another pregnancy woe. After the Billy Goat visited, there has been much speculation as to whether little Chip is pregnant….
Another year on the farm and this year has seen some big changes on the animal front. As I read last year’s animal inventory, it surprised me just how much our animal numbers have changed over the year. https://farmerswifeandmummy.com/our-animal-inventory-2016/ Rocher and the Ginger Tom still live in the little out house next to the house….
When shopping for a male animal-like a ram or a bull, one of the first things you do is grab hold of their testicles to check they are both there, they are the correct size and that they feel right. That grabbed your attention, didn’t it? We have a testicle MOT picture on the wall…
They say time flies when you’re having fun. It is certainly the case when you have goats. I cannot believe we have had them a year. If you remember, it took a long time to persuade Hubster to let me get them but he did, eventually give in. I was so excited the day we…

January can be a funny old month but this year, I will be taking part in Liked and Loved, a monthly post via the lovely Cornish Mum, telling you the things I have used or enjoyed is that particular month. While most people struggle with positives in the first month of the year, it was…
Last year I wrote an animal inventory and I thought it would be fun to carry on the tradition. I had thought not much had changed until I read last year’s post and it seems we have been very busy on the animal front while there has also been some deaths. The three farm…
Another season and another change on the farm. The rams have gone off romancing the ladies. We sent the new Suffolk rams off earlier which I said would be a good idea. Until they had already gone and started and I remembered about a certain #farmbaby2017 being due three weeks before. Oops. They had a…
I never shy away from telling you that funny things happen to me quite a bit. An incident this week was no different. I had picked Boo up from school and I often find it hard between school pick up and the time I make dinner to keep the children amused. We usually just end…
I told you briefly, yesterday about Operation Goat. My covert campaign to Hubster to allow me to get some goats. It worked but, I feel like I should share my success so you all may benefit from my undercover ways. So this is five ways to get your partner to say yes to goats*. 1.If…
