Meet the Cast - Galloway

This is Galloway, he's our up and coming herdsire and yes, he really is that adorable! He was born at the end of January and if everything goes well will be fathering our next generation of Nubians! He's amazing and with the lineage of  milk and conformation our next generation should be stunning!

he's here!!

I just went to pick up my herdsire! He's actually here and I'm SOOOO pleased with his growth and dairy-ness and and and! I'll post pics later but I'm just so excited!

a great way...

...to bookend my days!

Meet the cast - Orange Spice (for now)

This is the newest member of the From the Country Farm family! Since Katie and Strawberry did not take and I'd sort of planned a few things (details coming soon!) which require more than one milking doe and Venus not delivering until the end of June, I was sort of in a pickle! Sooo I found a 4-H family that was selling off their Nubian herd because they are more interested in the LaMancha breed; who had a Nubian doe in milk and brought this little lady home. She's not quite two yet and she's got a long life ahead of her and just freshened about two weeks ago! I'm excited to see where things go now! The kids are SO smitten with her that they are sleeping in the barn with the entire herd tonight. Oh my! Morning stories should be fun to hear!

Praise!!!!

We went to the doc's today for a check up and an up date with the results of Ron's most recent MRI. We had anticipated good news but what we got was more than that! As some of you are aware we've been dealing with some major health issues with my husband, without going into oodles of info, in July they found a grapefruit sized tumor in the retroperitoneal area which after being told twice that it was cancer turns out that it isn't! Even better than that; which  rightly so was pretty damn good news, was hearing that according to the latest MRI it is now the size of a blueberry!! He credits it to the raw food, juicing, love, prayers, and meds. And the cherry on this was that the doc told us that Ron was responding to treatment far far far better than even he'd expected! We both walked out of the office on a cloud and a smile a mile wide!

um it's been a little toasty here lately

granted this is in the direct sun and in a u shaped part of our house but it's also MARCH!!!

oooh la la...

Love love love this product! Silky, creamy, moisturizing, body butter! It has been met with very good reviews and these little beauties are headed to their new homes tomorrow, do you have room at your home for one?
