Welcome to Arthur Creek Farm.

Time is flying on the farm. I can’t believe six months has almost gone; we have been so busy! For starters January, February and March were so wet, we had a horrible time with worms. Trying to observe and treat the goats became almost a nightmare. Fortunately, we did get a day or so where we didn’t have rain. When we thought it was going to be nice weather for a week or so, another shower came. They did become immune to light showers, especially at dinner time!

Thankfully Autumn dried up a little and winter even more so. I must be getting old, I’m loving Winter on the farm! Not as many bugs! Like mozzies or midges. The rain brought them out in droves. Though I do hate the cold, it has been very icy at night between 9 and 11 degrees Celsius. OK, some may think that’s not so cold but for me, I’m freezing!

Back to the goats, in between keeping them healthy, Autumn saw a good handful of kids being born! It began early March with Blossom having a daughter (doe), who my friend that was visiting had the honour of naming her, ‘Sunday.’ The day she was born.

The next day Ruby had twins, Hansel and Gretel, named by another friend. The following day Nancy had Julius and Caesar, and Taffy had Ashlee and Asterix. Two days later, Jasmine had Levi and Denim. That was a busy week!

Three more days and Kimba snuck out under the mango tree to have Treasure. Four more days to breathe and Daisy had Patrick. Britney then made us wait almost a month, she snuck into the forest, and we were all blessed with a beautiful girl, Jason named her Bella, as we back on to Littabella state forest. And both her parents’ names start with ‘B’.
