Snow Snow Snow!

Well...It's been snowing for about 3 days off and on. The bunnies are holding up pretty well, just dealing with frozen water bottles:) We've got about 12'' on the ground and it's still snowing!

Here are some pictures...

Stay Warm!

Goodbye Farmer

Two days ago Farmer somehow got out of his cage (and out of the barn). So the dogs got to him, (trying to "play" with him, I guess). I gave him electrolytes, oats and a lot of hay. Yesterday I brought him in and fed him warm goat milk and about one hour later he stopped breathing:(. So we made the decision to not let him go to waste, and my sister and I processed him.
Farmer was my foundation buck and he'll be missed for sure.

Here are a few pictures of Farmer

A new breed ;) One of my friends gave me a production White:), They are like NZ's, but have been bred by Texas A&M to withstand heat & humidity, to be finer boned and to grow fast.

About Me

My name is Grace and I am the 3rd of 5 kiddos. Me and my family live out here in beautiful Northest Oklahoma, away from the city thankfully! Here's a bit more about us... For as long as I can remember, we have been "City Folk". I've lived my life in California since I was 2 years old (now I'm 13....oh, and we moved to OK when I was 10).
after about 9 years of living in Southern California, me and my family decided to pick up and move out of California. We chose Oklahoma as our new homeland and I must say, the whole family was THRILLED! About 6 months after we made the decision to move, we were gone and on the road, headed east. To make a long story short, we arrived in OK, lodged in a rental cabin on the river (boy was that tight livin'! 7 people crammed in that thing :)

There we stayed, until 6 months later, God provided us with 7 acres of beautiful, grassy, shady land out in the country. As you can imagine, cleaning up property is quite a task, considering the fact that it had been about 5 years since it was inhabited. It took hard, long, sweaty days of clearing brush, burning leaves, building barns...all to work toward a common goal...building our own little farm.

When that was pretty much done, we started to build the rabbit barn. So, finally, after about 2 months of intense learning, research and hands on experience, I got my first trio of Californian rabbits! I was SO excited!
Now, I got out of the Californians and stared breeding Production Whites. I have about 10 breeding does, 2 bucks and a gazillion babies:) we have, 23 dairy goats, a lot of chickens, a bunch of ducks, a couple of LGD's (Livestock Guardian Dogs), 2 breeding pigs and....oh, some barn cats! I'm kinda the "rabbit girl" of the family, but my siblings help out a lot too.

I hope you enjoyed reading about our little ranch! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us!
