Sorry I haven't updated in a while...with summer we are always SO busy! We have been cutting down our goat herd...I'm trying to get down to about 8 (we had 14). We're almost there!

Jamison has since started our gardens with peas, corn, tomatoes, green peppers and cucumbers. I can't wait to start eating/canning them!

And, lastly, today I start a new adventure raising a border cheviat/kerry hill lamb. I've never had sheep before, but there's a first time for everything! I've heard he's a meat breed and that the wool isn't as good quality as fiber sheep, but with a little help, I may try to sheer him someday and use his wool. Wish me luck! I'll post pics later :)

I got a very exciting message from my sister, Brandi this afternoon! She wanted me to split an order of Americauna chicks with her!!! I've been looking for them everywhere since I lost Avery (Americauna hen I adopted from Broken Oak Farm) last year :( I love the colored eggs and am so excited to have them again soon! I'll be getting 10 of them! We're also adopting our blue swedish duckling's sister, Beatrice from Broken Oak Farm, as she lost her other siblings and is VERY lonely
 :( I'm sure Beatrice will be very happy at Little Bit Farm <3 I'll be sure to post pics of everyone later!
