Relaxed Farming - our farm in your classroom

The first few days are all quiet and calm: the kids sleep a lot, we get to rest a lot after all that hard work of giving birth and there is plenty of drinking milk and snuggling up together.

After about a week, our little darlings start to explore a bit more and then we have the usual conversations that all parents have with their kids: 'don't go too far', 'be careful', 'don't bully your sister' etc...

Some diary goats mums can be a bit 'precious' and not let their kids do anything, others let them get on with it... I was a bit anxious about my first kids, mainly because my own mum Curds kept trying to interfere and get the kids to go with her. She was doing the 'doting granny' thing a bit too much if you ask me... (love her really...)
