Our Alpine, Mary, gave birth on Sunday, February 16th, to two kids! One billy and one doe! Moses, the billy, looks just like mama, and Miriam, the doe, looks just like papa who happens to be Jack, our first billy born on our farm the same day of last year!! Isn't that neat?!
We have been in need of a container for hay for our goats so Nate and Christian got busy with some free pallets! They simpy attached 2 pallets on opposite sides to a base pallet with L brackets, then nailed on 4 pieces of a disassembled pallet to the other parallel sides. Nate added a top with 2 hinges to keep the goats out of their hay becuase they love to lay in it!!
There you have it! A little planning and a few tools, and lots of free pallets equal a great addition to our farmstead :) Great job boys!!
More animals also means a need for more shelters…yet another way to use free pallets! Ben and dad have started the shelter, and I will be sure to post pictures of the finished product soon!
Congratulations on your new farm friends :) So cute!
