Been a while since I posted in here, but I am planning to keep this blog more active now.
Since I last posted in here, we have gotten a couple little holstien bull calves, increased our flock of sheep (we now have 8 ewes and one ram), and now only have 3 Aussies on the place. One of the Aussies is Chowderhead, Kristi's dog. He has come to live out his last years here on the farm where he is very happy. Our other two are Lily and Duncan.
I am excited because I am getting a little pony this weekend! She is a 7 month old filly, named Maggie Mae. She is a Welsh Mountain Pony. Here is a description of a Welsh Mountain Pony from the official website:
