Turtle Hill Farms

Without USAID's Food for Peace, Kansas grain elevators have no market for sorghum President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk have shut down USAID and Food for Peace, meaning Kansas sorghum farmers lost a market for their crop.

Every time someone posts a newborn llama to FB I look out the window to see if it's my turn yet - and - nope

I have a turkey en route to my house.

Today on the farm -
- we trimmed 8 goats hooves
- the farrier trimmed Charlie the Pony and Dusty the Donkeys hooves
- I gave an adult doe goat with diarrhea a bath and medicated her
- Set her up in the infirmary pen with feed and water
- bottle fed Gene and Oreo twice (twice more before midnight)
- changed out the water tubs
- fed all the animals twice (dawn and dusk)
This is an atypical day because of the hoof trimming. My next set of babies will probably be Dot's which I expect between Dec 10-15
Next weekend I need to start re-homing some of the baby goats and baby llamas. I can't keep them all. Have too many as it is.

I was late with dinner and one of the llamas let me know she wasn't happy with me. As I walked to the feeding pen with a feed bucket and all the llamas following me like a weird 4 legged entourage she ran up behind me and planted her front hooves in my shoulder blades and almost knocked me down. I don't think she was trying to hurt me. In fact she could have just been letting me know she was happy that dinner was finally here. Either way I think it surprised her as much as it did me. I wasn't hurt and she could have easily hurt me if she wanted. Just another day on the farm.
