Rebel Gold Farm

PETITION: Stop the Maine Turnpike Expansion A petition for individuals and groups opposed to the Maine Turnpike Authority’s “Gorham Connector” as proposed.

Just a reminder we are an LGBTQIA+ friendly farm 🥰

I just posted a few does and a buck. I gotta move stuff since they have definitely not paid for themselves this year and my hay order plus life bills are creeping up.

I love that this is becoming the norm now. Babies need all the milk they can get to grow grow grow

Stop letting people on those groups convince you to starve your baby goats!
The bottle baby feeding schedule strikes again. The latest version I've seen seems to have been created by someone who's rationing for survival in a harsh environment....you know, not enough food so we give them barely enough to keep them alive but certainly not thriving and growing! Therefore, it seems it would be beneficial to repost this from several years ago. Those of you who've followed my page for a while will recognize I've even updated the picture of the boys. 🙂

***I no longer have a bottle feeding schedule on my website. I choose not to confuse the issue with such nonsense.***
EDIT….This is for Dwarf kids. Double or even triple the amounts when feeding standard sized kids. Do not withhold milk from babies!

Bottle feeding schedules (including the one on my site) were made by people with one or two bottle kids and way too much time on their hands! I've decided to help you retain your sanity and give you a far more realistic view of how bottle feeding lots of kids works!
Newborns.... day one, they get fed 4 times to make sure they get 8 to 12 ounces of colostrum in them. That last bottle is fed around 8 or 9 p.m to make sure they have full bellies to sleep on. Day 2; As long as they are normal sized and healthy, they're ready for 3 feedings...7 or 8 in the morning, middle of the day when I get there and the last one before bed. I NEVER feed bottles in the middle of the night. It's stupid and exhausting and your kids will not starve! You make sure they're warm and they're absolutely fine. I keep them on 3 times a day for 3 to 4 weeks but my goal is to get them to take bigger and bigger amounts and if I can get them to take a full 16 ounce bottle per feeding, I drop them to twice a day. They also get introduced to pelleted feed at this point. They remain on twice a day feedings until I wean them at 12 to 14 weeks old. Most of the time I pull the morning bottle at 12 weeks and just let them have a bed time bottle until I'm sick of giving them milk and then I take it away. This is also how I use lambar buckets.
~By the way, mob feeding is magical! They're super annoying but competition from their siblings/pen mates makes them eat a LOT and you can move them along faster by using it to your advantage.

Large vet bills means more cuts that I was considering keeping. So baby Gimlet needs his own herd.

We do have a beautiful buckling of hers that could be up for discussion who is loving his bottle time

Even when it’s snowing the work is never done
🎶hi ho hi ho it’s off to work we go🎶

Ps the snow won’t kill the goats for the quick moment it takes them to eat their grain

Dea made sure my Easter Sunday went out with a BOOM! She gave me 2 does and 1 buck! I may consider offers on the buck, I’ll add Dea’s pre fresh udder in the comments!

It’s no secret to my friends that my kidding season had been TOUGH and full of many firsts, last night was no exception but we have 3 beautiful babies this morning who are all lively after some help from our friends Hannah and Josh at Prince Well Farm for helping me convince the littlest that she does want to live.

The day feels a little brighter having some babies to snuggle and Dea has certainly earned her place on the keepers list ✨Now to think of some names for these cuties, not sure if I want to go Easter theme or intergalactic/star/eclipse theme 🤔

He’s too cute 🥰 and he’s 👀🏡

AM bottle feed for the Swiss boy 🥰

Jane x gimlet

Jane released one solo Swiss buckling today sired by Gimlet that is 👀 for a new herd. Can go on bottle asap as I have no other babies for weeks and I don’t plan on keeping a buck right now.

Update- poppy is pending, I will update my website soon to reflect more changes.

I need to be realistic and need to get the herd down to either 3 goats or possibly disperse the whole herd. First up for discussion…

Priority will be given to those that make this quick and easy for me as my heart is shattered by the decisions I have to make.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Being a female farmer has taught me......

*You can do anything you set your mind to!
*Ask for help when you need it.
*If you fail, try again and again and again. And make sure you share those failures!
*Women muscles are just as strong as men muscles.
*Cussing helps in ALL circumstances.
*Make sure you embrace the small victories.
*Coffee
*There IS crying in farming. Let those tears flow.
*The old way works most often than not, so keep teaching them.
*Journal, photograph & document your life, when you’re gone, your legacy is all that remains.
* Vegan comments will always be answered with passionate education.
*Tomorrow is always a new day! But it’s not always guaranteed.
* You are never too old or too young to accomplish something new.

Women make up 36% of the total number of U.S. farm operators; 56% of all farms have at least one female decision-maker. Previously, Arizona had the highest proportion of women farmers, with 45% of all farmers in the state, until this year. Now Alaska holds that honor with 50% of women farming!

Hanging with the goats this afternoon to remind myself that there’s still some good in the world.

Many thanks to my girls but especially Jane and Gillie for the reminder that I have some good goats that can just be held or very weakly tied up with bailing twine to shave some udders and give some vaccines. All because I haven’t cleaned up the kidding pen and milk stand yet 😅

Up for discussion or lease to only a spectacular loving home as this buck is just the best tempered dude.

✨Haymaker Farm Dark Matter✨

This beautiful, sweet, long, and dairy doe is one I’m going to regret letting go of but in this season of life I need to take a step back from performance goat activities. Mattie deserves to be shown, on milk test, and seen which is why I’m offering her to performance herds. Mattie is currently open as I wasn’t as attentive to catching everyone in heat.

We will be significantly reducing the herd down to 4-6 does and 1-2 bucks. If any of our goats peak your interest let me know. Hoping to move some asap to relieve stress as alas I’m not superhuman.

2024…. Cull until you cry…. But how do I know who to go first?? I need to cut around 5 does 2 bucks to get me to the numbers I want. I’d take any local offers, just don’t even think to ask about Jane or Pie. I’ve never been so attached to a group. 😭
