How to identify poison hemlock (Conium maculatum)! Don’t skip this one, it could save your life! The genus Apiaceae contains some of the most delicious and most highly toxic plants in the world, and the last thing you want to do is mix them up. Remember: flower umbels are rarely the best method for positively identifying a member of this genus since so many umbels can resemble one another! Always do your due diligence with comprehensive identification before eating anything! And pick up a copy of Samuel Thayer’s new field guide. It’s the best one ever written! #poisonhemlock #hemlock #foraging #mushroomauntie

I noticed Spice in the shelter alone today while filling waters. Checked on her then continued chores. She did not come out when I grained her pen so I went to check on her again. Needless to say, I got way distracted and everyone else had to wait to eat.
1st born is a boy. 2nd is a girl.
In the 4th video you can see the girl being born. She came hind end first so I did help her out and cleaned her face so she could breathe.

It is the start of Ramadan, the month of fasting observed by Muslims. It is important to know about observances such as these. They affect the demand and market prices of sheep/goats. I have updated my ethnic holiday calendar for 2023-2027.

We've been very busy between work, life and BABIES! Here are the latest 2 boys born tonight. Mom is a yearling. Not quite sure of what she is doing. And, the weather is frigid. Bought them in to dry them off. Got a couple ounces of colostrum into each. Will be going back out to mom soon to work on getting them nursing.
