This bucket of beauty has a lot of steps: lay dirt, drip lines, burn holes in landscape fabric. Buy corms and plant last fall in row. Watch and worry as gophers eat them. Replant corms, amend soil, wait, drink tea and make a mosaic. Try to remember to spray with oil before the bloom. Pick each stem. Wash aphids off each stem. Now hurry up and sell them in a two week window of opportunity. Wonder if they are lasting and making people happy. Order corms for next year...#flowerfarmer #grownnotflown #localflowers #slowflowers #womenwhofarm #cagrownflowers #placergrown #ranunculus #loomis #sacfarm2fork #bhgflowers #sunsetmag #flowerpower
Today marks one week with little Gia on Earth. She has such a huge personality and is so demanding about the food that I feel like her personal milk slave right now After every meal, she lays at my feet for nap time. .

What a beautiful evening...hanging out at the bird bath was one of my honeybees having a drink of water... the honeybees use water to cool the hive & give moisture to the pollen for the nurse bees to feed the brood... I truly love sharing these WOW nature moments with you...

Did a little EGGSperiment yesterday with "natural" dyes. I thought they came out pretty darn cool.
If you choose this route I'd recommend you plan ahead though. It was an all day event and some could have soaked overnight, but I was over it
I assume the marbling comes from the bloom on fresh eggs? But I honestly have no idea. Anyone know? #iamcountryside

I feed my goats alfalfa.
.
Wait, no. Let me rephrase that. .
I feed my bucks alfalfa. .
.
whaaaattttt!!!!! .
.
Yup. Hay, grain, and alfalfa for all of the goats. ESPECIALLY when they aren’t out on pasture.
.
.
So let me clarify. .
First, each goat needs about two to four pounds of hay per day (3-4% of body weight in pounds), which can be fed free choice or twice a day. Okay, not too hard, right? For us, we go through about one 50lb bale, of *nutritionally analyzed 1st and 2nd cutting hay*, per every 10-15 goats, depending on the weather, time of year, and most importantly, the individual goat itself (ie. it’s needs). .
.
Next, grain. .
.
I hear SO many people say “oh, never feed grain to a buck, especially not to a wether!” And I’ll admit, I used to think similarly. Here’s the thing. Too much of anything can cause problems, that’s just how it is. So when you hear wethers and grain in the same sentence, your first thought should be Urinary Calculi. Or bloat. But generally, UC. It’s not the grain itself. It’s the content OF the grain and the amount fed that makes the difference! .
.
.
And by content, I mean our good friends, Calcium and Phosphorus. And with those two buddies it’s allll about the ratio, baby. Goats require a 1:1 - 2:1 ratio of calcium:phosphorus. Alfalfa = high in calcium. Grain = generally high in phosphorus (depending on the type). .
.
.
My point, my friends, know your animals needs. Know your feed. Know your hay. Know. Your. Goat. .
.
.
I address the rest of this topic and some more in my stories today (hint: it’s very valuable information ) Be sure to share your own tips and things you’ve learned along the way about all things animal health, not just goats, and use the hashtag #herdhealththursday and tag @elizabethtaffet
