becoming a cow farmer
Gwen and Grace have become interested in me, and I have become a full blown farmgirl. I have a lot to learn with these cows, like the lingo. I didn’t know a cow was a female that had given birth, I thought they were all just cows, then they fell into categories, like bull, steer, heifer and so on.
That’s a wrap
As Summer comes to an end, and we just found out our pure Red Wattle breeders are actually Heritage Mutts, that pretty much sums up our Summer. But as we take a real look back, Fluffy Butt Farms LLC had a big summer! We sponsored our towns very first movies in the park, Riley attended her first herding class, we're now breeding our own, chicken meat, pork, beef and goat. Chris is finishing his last two Goats On The Go!® jobs, and I have started a coffee subscription and a new loyalty program on our website! It's been busy, but I feel as though we're heading in a great direction!
march on the farm
Spring has officially sprung and so have all the goat babies! 20 born with one loss at birth, four more goats to go and then the kidding season on our farm is officially over. March has been insane. So insane that my hopeful goal of finally organizing the house has been left unaccomplished, yet again.
Making Choices
When Chris and I started Fluffy Butt Farms BC in June 2020, it was because of me. The realization that I was relying on the grocery stores to feed me, and they had failed, it really scared me. Eggs were gone, chicken, beef, pork, all gone. So we went out and bought seeds, fruit trees, Chickens, meat rabbits and dual purpose goats. But still, we had to wait for all of our work to start producing food for us.
Welcome to our farm
Like so many people all over America, we wanted to move away from the big city and grow/raise our own food.
