Along the Trail at Briden Farm
23 June 2025 Buckling Goat Available, Chores, Rotational Pastures, Moving Sheep, Natural Pasture Restoration, Reclaiming Forests for Pastures and Gardens
So, honestly I wondered what I was going to write about today. I skipped yesterday due to the rain. Today, I managed a few photos, a blog post at BridenFarm.com, and now this …
This little fellow is precious, I probably jumped on him too soon. Just got him a couple days ago and I’m not really setup the way I should be. So…
He’s definitely a little sweetheart, a pure Nigerian Dwarf Buckling. Just three months old. Was told by previous owner he can be Registered if wanted. He’s just three months old and that means if I put him with my does, he may be doing his job before I really want them bred. I jumped on it, because last week, we had a few cold nights and two of our three girls come into heat! Great! Kids by November! Sell by Christmas, for pickup in January and we’ll have milk again! Yeah!
Well, now, the heat has passed and isn’t apt to return too soon. However, it is apt to return with at least one of them by August. I’d rather wait and breed in November.
So, this little guy is available for $300 OBO. CALL ME: 902-907-0770
We lost 4 Free Range Brown Layers last night! Been asking $15 each, only have about 40 left, and they’re going fast! So, remaining once are at just $10 each when you buy 6 or more! You know what to do! It begins with 902
There, now that those Chores are over with …
Let’s move on to Rotational Pastures, cause that’s what the sheep did today!
See more, and better photos, on our website BridenFarm.com
It really is impressive! Be sure to visit our website!
The work our animals do, regenerating these old field, turning woodlands into pastures, and gardens! Is that something You’d be interested in learning more about? Perhaps attending a workshop if we hold one? Let me know…
Our goats do their part as well…
Electric Netting Fences and Solar, or Battery, Powered Charges work good on these remote locations. Fairly easy to move around, although woodland pastures and electric fence can be fun at times! It’s not as easy as it would be on a grassy field. I trim the fence lines before installing the fences. The first time on new property is definitely work! Although the repeat requires less trimming and therefore less work.
I enjoy it though and I love the before and after! Hoping to turn these rough pastures into productive hay fields. We’ve done it before!
Thanks for Reading!
PS: Hoping to trade this little Babydoll Shetland Ram for one we can breed with our Babydoll Shetland Ewes. He’ll be ready in July 2025.
