Living in the wilderness does have its ch...Hi Tina,<br />Living in the wilderness does have its challenges, doesn't it? ;) The coyotes are very thick around here, and we used to have a real problem with them killing sheep (you can read more about it <a href="http://www.farmgirlfare.com/2009/01/stuff-of-farm-life-losing-lambs-and.html" rel="nofollow"><b>here</b></a>).<br /><br />But - knock on wool! - now that we have Daisy and Marta, our livestock guardian dogs, we haven't lost a sheep to the coyotes in nearly four years. We've also been able to do things like let the ewes and their babies sleep in the barnyard at night rather than having to lock them all up in the barn during lambing season. Those girls really do an awesome job protecting all of us. :)Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-20714553998604242762012-03-25T10:16:59.425-05:002012-03-25T10:16:59.425-05:00Hi Everybody,

And your Rooster Andy is just sooo handsome! How do you guys keep the coyotes (do you have coyotes in Missouri?) away from your livestock? I'm in the Sierra Nevada mountain range and I've given up on any sort of livestock at all - either the bears get the beehives, the coyotes or bobcats get the chickens and the ground squirrels and rabbits (aarrghhh!!!!) get my garden. It seems that I've tried everything to keep the varmints away without success.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00463874952093819545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-23227829586202766342012-03-24T09:31:35.600-05:002012-03-24T09:31:35.600-05:00Fridays will never be the same.

Spring has come early here in Maine - it was 86 degrees on Thursday. There's a lot of hard work in farming but the rewards make it one of the best jobs in the world. Can you imagine a more beautiful place to spend your days? Love all your animals and their distinctive personalities. Thanks for making my day.

I have added you to my RSS feed and follow every day. I am smitten with your donkeys and your Jersey cow. Of course, liking the chickens and the dogs goes without saying! The sheep, well, I'm glad their your problem! And the quilts, ooooooh I love 'em. When my vision was better I used to make them. My mother-in-law taught me how to make them years ago (the old-fashioned way, no yarn ties or sewing machine short-cuts). Nowadays I crochet mostly for my two grandbabies and the one which is on the way.<br /><br />I hope you will keep up the blog because I find it refreshing after a day of reading papers on nutrition and health! Thanks for all of your effort. It's much appreciated.<br /><br />I have directed a few people here just to see your photos, but I like your written posts, as well.D.

I think that is the one and Spring is indeed popping up everywhere, even here, today, where it was snowing and 31 degrees two days ago. But... that is the Pacific Northwest; weather is so finicky.

I suspect that's why she has managed to live so long, motherhood at the age when she was already old made her feel invincible!<br /><br />Linda in Dayton OhLinda Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14146392182619661241noreply@blogger.com
