  • We have 38 animals on our little Alaskan farm, and some are a bit rowdier than others. We get an unwelcomed visit from a bald eagle that I originally mistake as a hawk.

    I had rabbits at one time. And their droppings are fabulous fertilizer. I could not believe how fast and how large my plants grew. And I actually started my garden earlier than usuall. Was aliitle worried at first. Wasn't sure we would get another frost . But my plants loved the nice warm soil which the rabbit droppings created. My neighbors could not believe the results. And how fast and how big and healthy my plants were. I was a very proud gardener that year. 😊 my garden was the talk of the town . Lol 😊

    Here's a helpful tip for you if you want to get rid of those horns. I was told to do it and I did and it worked. If that girl is 2 years old you can take the castrating bands and put them on the base of the horns with the castrating tool (can't remember what it's called) The band eventually cuts off the circulation to the horns and they will eventually fall off. The only kicker is they have to be over 2 years old to never grow back again. I guess you can do some research on it. But I don't like horns but I cannot get myself to do the disbudding. Love your soap. It's so pretty. So nice to see the guardians in full service. Wow it's not your day today. Your rabbits are beautiful. That is some pig. Love this episode.

      @@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska oh who I didn't even notice that. That's great. The horns are a little tender especially when they are getting close to falling off. I have a yearling that I'm going to do that to next year if I still have her. I really don't like horns and the goat also knows they have them and use them against the other goats. I only keep then on the bucks. It's such a great idea, whoever came up with it is genius.

    I have to say that this is one of my favorite videos you both have done. Don't get me wrong I love them all but this just had so much extra charm to it. An incredible variety of what is going on. Crystal you need to get yourself a face mask that goalies wear! My god I literally lost my breath for a minute there. My first thought was your eye. Now as for Mr Reeves you need to be careful for the frank and beans! Those goats were getting pretty crazy jumping on you. All you animals look amazing. The goats I could watch for hours jumping up and down. The adults doing there thing bumping heads ... The pigs what a mess! Where did you even start to clean that up!!! Worse than a bunch of teenagers. Your soap Crystal is just stunning and I look forward to getting some of that shipped to me in the lower mainland of B C.
    I do not know a lot about rabbits however they are very good eating. I did get bit once badly on my finger even though a friend swore that it would not bite... like hello it is an animal. Happy Mother's Day to all. Cheers

      The Soap Shop if finally open!! theflattirefarm.com Shipping to Canada will be spendy. There are some notes about it in the shipping policy at the bottom of the site page. Basically, if you really want soap (and have won the lottery lately, Ha!) we can do a mock order and I can tell you what the shipping charges will be. But pretty much it starts at $32 USD (just in shipping) to send 2 bars of soap with maybe a few lip balms and a flour sack towel will fit too. Then it goes up from there… Be blessed friend!

      As soon as it snows, it gets crushed. So it’s better to “train” the predators that our property is not a safe hunting ground. That eagle went through the chicken coop door to get to all our neighbors chickens. Better to give them a deterrent than try to give them something to try to break into.
