One of our year-old Nigerian dwarf does got her head stuck in the fence and I had to help free her. She’s small enough to get her head through but the horns catch the fencing when she tries to walk away. This has happened enough to me that I will be removing horns when goats are born. The other option is re-fencing our entire property which costs way too much money. It can be quite serious when a goat gets their head stuck in a fence during Florida summers. A friend came home one day to find a dead goat like this. If you’re in this situation, turn their head sideways and even their body if you have to do so - then push their head back. They don’t like it but it’s better than death. If you need more strength to rescue goats, don’t forget to ditch that generic fish oil for one that actually has value - the fermented cod liver/butter at Green Pasture!

“Big Cell Phone” or as I call it, the Cellular Industrial Complex, will have its day of reckoning in the not too distant future. I try to keep mine 6-ft away when not in use and turn it on airplane mode at night (while also keeping it in another room). Remember friends, there was a point in time where none of us had cell phones and we survived. I recognize that our society is stacked around it all now, but you can still take a break.
We are trying to a cell tower from going up right next to our farm and could use your help, no matter where you live. Please send a quick email to [email protected] and write “I oppose the Blue Sky cell tower CU-2026-00003. Please deny the conditional use permit.”
I try to get a lot of omega 3s in my diet to reduce oxidative stress - like what’s caused by RF radiation. I love the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts which has been part of my daily routine for 15 years. I ...
Remember when herding animals required manual labor? Actually we were shooting video but the animals thought it was the end of the world and ran straight for the barn. It was the fastest feeding time on record, maybe we use the drone more often?!
Don’t forget to keep your shepherd energy supply high with good nutrition. We take the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts everyday because it is packed with vitamins A, D & K along with anti-inflammatory omega 3s. It’s fermented instead of high heat processed like most fish oils. Grab some with promo code “ALISON” and you get 10% off. https://greenpasture.org/
I wasn’t a committed homeschool mom from the second my first child was born. I did quite a bit of research because I wanted to learn more about how kids learn - and truly what kind of environments are not just best for learning ABCs but for overall health and development. I wasn’t even sure I would be a good teacher. After reading many books written by education “experts”, we landed on homeschool.
I really had to unravel quite a bit of what I thought was “school” before I could even begin. I went to the same private school K-12 and equated learning with perfect exam scores. As a student, I forgot a lot of what I crammed into my head because I wasn’t learning for the joy of it - I was learning to survive.
I have come to see how much a child learns through simply living - and being bored! They are innately attuned to art, nature, science, nutrition, play, language - if only we give them a chance. I have truly loved homeschooling my kids, especially all the time we get to spend...
