Three Male Alpine Goats Arrive On The Farm

one at a time you'll figure it out come on boys first good [Music] job Mark and Tera here and welcome to the 10 Acre Woods it is uh little bit of uh yeah Misty raining some ice rain close to 0° uh we have some newbies that came in yesterday so three boys three goats Alpine cross like well French they look like French Alpine we say cross cuz you can't guarantee that they are full but that's what they look like they're an Alpine goat so the Alpine goat is a little bit higher what are they 30 32 3 well 30 to 32 for the boys yeah uh to the withers and then pygmy goats are roughly around 20 I believe it is so the three boys came in from Animal Control and they were dropped off yesterday and they are up for adoption so we will likely not keep these ones uh they will probably be rehomed so I think Tara has put out there on Facebook uh looking for some homes who knows how long we'll have them here for uh this is a strange time of year to be rehoming animals because a lot of people are thinking spring well you know maybe Springtime it's winter now we're not ready to take on any new ones so we'll see how things go anyway we'll keep you updated on that uh and we're going to go feed the ponies morning astred good morning ah there 's Levi Meadow can't be too far behind where's your daughter is she in there ah there she is she's finishing off uh yesterday's meal it seems well it's important at this time of year with how cold it gets that they have 247 hay to eat yeah cuz when when animals chew them warm yeah chewing keeps you warm so the other thing we have to look at with the warmer weather is some hay so the Hay's down to looks like about halfway a little more than halfway in this building and uh we'll uh take advantage of the warmer weather yeah this one I don't have to worry about till uh yeah it's not too bad it's the ones inside for the I like it now because by the time cuz we' stacked this right full yeah by the time this comes usually about six weeks because Sherry the faer comes so now I won't fill this one we'll keep using this because when she comes we'll have a spot out of the weather to bring them in if we need to so so the humans are in the not in the wind or you know so this won't be filled till look at all your poop spots yeah just everywhere he good girl got your hey [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] a [Laughter] hi Charlie hi Charlie sure I do it [Applause] right empty [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] up [Laughter] good morning Tucker onx Bo smell my goat yeah well I could smell it yesterday when they came in smell the boys here they are good morning boys how was your first night yeah so we put up this extra railing here because they are a larger goat and uh well they we were concerned they could jump out so so that's what that's for safe and S yeah oh yeah looks like you guys finished off most of your hay from yesterday they were hungry boys so apparently they were under wait they've been uh they've been under the care uh of the provincial vet for I think 3 months so but they're uh doing good they're hungry they eat a lot for sure those are water yeah and water's good so to get an idea these are py mik and these kids are maybe a month younger than the three boys so you can really see the uh the difference they were born in April in size were they both born around the same time then these guys were born in May oh and these guys were born in April yeah so these guys are actually a month older uh so okay yeah that does make sense but you can see uh you can see the difference totally up for suggestion two twins yeah we don't have any names I was like The Three Amigos The Three Amigos one of them has uh has white on the side and we were trying to uh differentiate the uh the markings between the you can see the front lights he's this first one has Brakes in the black oh right one in the back doesn't Okay okay so we call this one knees right are you knees actually the other one's got brakes as well but it's got the white so the other boy doesn't oh yeah the other boy doesn't have the brakes okay good all right so that's the uh the difference one has white and out of the other two one has breaks in the knees and the other one has uh full black right through uh so these boys are intact and uh we've got uh got a few people that are interested so we'll see how things go okay what is this is this the egg alarm should I check for eggs is that what you're telling me they're on St yeah they're on strike there shouldn't be any eggs no there's no eggs yeah there's no eggs don't worry about it you can take the uh the next couple months off says come check our eggs nothing on the ground sometimes you find them on the ground yeah yeah so the ladies are uh are taking a break we've cut down the uh the quote unquote Sunshine the uh the lighting that is on here is uh left than uh I think we've only got it on for 10 hours so of course they'll go into uh generally they go into a mol uh this time of year um and their egg you can see the the feathers down here the egg production drops off when they do go into and of course that one doesn't lay eggs there's another one uh right there Jimmy and rod rod and Jimmy I'm coming oh Bey and Piper already in okay having their breakfast what what is it what is it are you curious what's going on over there they've been keeping us up all night no no no no nothing to see here jeez you guys yeah go get some hay they want a pumpkin cuz I've gone down to every second day now oh yeah so hi Tinker they didn't get it yesterday says where's the pumpkin must have the pumpkin yeah oh they know they know so we know you have it in there come on out go oh [Applause] Peas I know sh you don't even like chaos yeah yeah need to buy some time now says what the heck is this stuff throw us some seeds there we go the chickens like them and of course Charlie well once he's done with he's doing hi Sheldon what are you doing just wandering around without a care in the world right not a care in the world oh yes here's zilly boy aren't you aren't you Sheldon okay you going to eat that what are you doing you're silly silly all right looks like you guys are done sorry oh oh you're going to get the the inside treats take it with you yeah take drop the piece you want that Onyx no here what's this here we throw it down there you go they're like what is this strange substance see it smells interesting but I don't know what it is right now just stick with the hay all right so some people may wonder why uh quarantine is not that particular with these guys um that's because they were quarantined where they were for 3 months so they've both been they've been deloused and dewormed and treated and all that kind of stuff so um and they know our facility so that's why they're good to go when they come here had they been from somewhere strange or just broughten in then we would quarantine them a lot better the smell of pumpkin can't smell going to take that oh right yeah you're you're a little under the weather and your taste and smell are off I know I can't even taste sugar which sucks my coffee yeah we were going to maybe sharpen that knife well you know what I mean Kudos is Betty Crocker is that what it is it's a Betty Crocker Betty Crocker this dollar store so it's made for cutting cakes this knife has been out here for six years it has done all of our cutting out here and I have never sharpened it we should probably bring we've got enough sharpeners inside we can probably bring one out and have it have it out here so who those Betty Crocker there's turbo there I walk past him Charlie yeah Charlie get his [Music] let's it turbo it's on the ground there's nothing in theet anymore goo weren't you the one wanting the pumpkins ronin's enjoying them so is everyone else so we're back in the house and we thought we would uh go over some of the uh the litter setup that we have here for our cats are nine of them this here's Nick hi um and Tara has something to uh show you a project she's actually been working on been working on my stuff she uh she found this uh when where did you find that anyway in my yard it was quite some time ago I think diamond willow and it's got the mushrooms and stuff on it and I've shellacked it added a little bling just things that mean something to me a nice little walking stick yeah yeah I'm not sure what I'm going to do I've got some eagle feathers I might add some eagle feathers and some rocks like this rock I've been hauling around for 3 weeks she thought she almost lost that rock yesterday so she was like where's my rock like rocks and you know never yell at your kids for collecting rocks just you know have a bucket at the front door at every house they visit and they can that's where they leave them it's my rock in my pocket uh so yeah most of the miss the mo the the understanding with cat owners is that you need a litter box per cat and an extra there's no way I'm having that many litters but I don't mind cleaning daily because I already vacuum once a day because I shed so uh yeah so we've just got the two upstairs which Mark will show you and then uh one downstairs that get vacuum daily in these little comfy spots for the cats to yeah NYX you're silly they're beds you're silly aren't you yes they're beds they have lots of beds somebody commented on this this was my first crochet attempt so it I I like it it's pretty rustic looking it's a rabbit you know it's kind of you made that what was that that was spring I think it was yeah and it's made out of our wool from our sheep and it's got its little magic ball there with the birds in it are cleaning yeah but the uh yeah he so the uh so the litter is here so we use Uh Wood Pellets so these are what no they're not treats oh the the treats haven't come yet Toby Toby likes to sneak over here and and have a snack it's gross no you stay out of it so these are uh our wood pellets that you would you would uh put in your wood burning stove a pellet stove and nothing expensive nice rubber made containers because they're higher so Toby can't get in easy yeah uh we have the Pea pad uh there are some cats that like to uh Mo I most of the time I think it's the females that pee on uh furniture or piles or clothes or whatnot the Pea pad eliminates that so and it's a Nara that uh there she prefers the pead to the uh to the litter box she'll poop in them but she won't pee in them yeah for some strange reason so she was peeing on the couch and every regular cleaning a coach I got I even invested in one of those little coach like fabric cleaners like carpet cleaners and uh but I was like he you know what every time I leave a towel out she pees on it so I'm like well let's position it let's just give her a towel yeah so this is the inside of a kennel dog kennel just in case the the Pee goes off the towel um and then I change the towel daily and the litters get done every second day or when needed but uh and then the food station yeah so NYX is going to demonstrate that okay here we go it's full enough usually when it's it's empty she throws it off the counter yeah yeah she'll knock the whole container off and we'll hear it hit the floor and it's like uh I guess not enough in there we had some uh cat trees that were uh made by a friend and uh they're very they're real wood and uh they work well here because the cats like the windows Yep and refinishing Tera refinished this and all the chairs yeah so this is a codoy type material and we found that the cats they uh they can't damage it yeah they scratch them all the time it is imp impious to cat damage so if you have cats that are destroying some fabric on your chairs um get some corduroy material and they don't knock like I I have to put my teddy bears up high and wool up high but you know for they don't knock stuff down yeah everybody's up top there overseeing and watching this is the this this is my seeds have you've shown my seeds yeah you've shown my seeds before this is my seeds area and then my Apothecary that I harvest stuff from the yard stuff from the garden yeah yeah so dry it um and harvest and dry itel fa so that is it for this video I hope you enjoyed it only 10 more days until Christmas so that's exciting because Spring's on the way because Spring's on the way and the days are
