Sorry to hear about Chestnut x
Mad respect for what all of you did to try and save Chestnut. Loving the new camera!
So sorry on hearing you bad news ,I'm sure she is smiling down on you all and now out of pain
Hazel ☘️ …
Ah I am so sorry
No one could have tried harder and given more care at end of life …
Your farm looks amazing … much credit to you all for encouraging such recovery through hard work after the devastation of the fire … an event I hope you are all healing from …
My thoughts are with you all
🙏☘️😘
Hi so sorry you lost a member of your flock. DEFRA has the best idea,wanting to know what the animal died of. I kept rabbits for years and I had an autopsy done on a sudden death turns out it was "swine desease" bit of a shock…didn't know rabbits got it. Love your work shop renovation you need a space for your stuff,I have my own space after 33years. Oldie has been a great help and his partner too, little jobs done. Big jobs can get done. Stay safe all.
ALL THE BEST TO YOU AS YOU MOVE ON AFTER YOUR LOSS…BLESSINGS…;)
Nice, safe cleaning solution! I'm reminded to restock vinegar and make up your mix 👍🏼.
So very sorry for your loss of Chestnut. Yes, it would've been far more helpful to your care & herd if her remains had been autopsided since your goats don't often get ticks 😔.
Oli's and Jana's company and help have been invaluable and a wind beneath your wings 🙏🏼. Praying you continue to be blessed… many, many times more than your losses 🌟.
Hello Alex, Molly & Sandra! I am sorry for your loss. 🙁 As you said Alex, positive energies, and Molly I admire you in everything you do, so determined!
Sorry to hear about the goat , sad news . Excellent job by Olie and Jana . The workshop is looking good , well done guys . Thanks for the tip Molly . Take care guys .
Re the lemon and oranges mixed with vinegar, it is also great for a salad dressing, it tastes great …..
Can you recommend an affordable Construction place in Castelo Branco?
You were talking about buying nails etc, Are you getting them in MaxMat?
So sorry you had to go through the tough time with the goat!
Really sorry about you loosing the lovely little goat. It comes across so clearly in all the youtube clips how much you care for them and they really are a credit to you! Its just so sad when the odd one doesn't make it. Do keep making the regular videos, we love to see what you and the goats are up to. 🙂
That's sad .can tell you was upset , a lot of people think farmers don't have feelings for their animals but we do and as you said when you loose one you have a feeling that you let them down
😟🌟👍🍀💐
O and J have really made many contributions to you folks, as well as Luke and Sarah
Sorry about the goat. I know it is a part of farm life, but…
A lot happening. Sorry bout your goat. Got one when I was a kid(a tick). I know your farm is organic( is it fully accredited or on your way). So there the list that allowed. Some sites recommend sprays lemon etc, (cleaning liquid)one recommends garlic. Is there wild garlic in Portugal. Ramson, allium ursinum. Yes it probably taint the milk, so am looking forward to the vet visit. As for your workshop, a mother in law,( had to get out of that) had a saying, don't put it down, put it away. Cheers thanks for sharing and respect the hard work you put in not to mention the editing.
I'm so very sorry to hear about your loss, so sad 😔. Everywhere is looking so lush and well cared for. How wonderful that Ollie and Jana have been so supportive and helpful, they really are lovely people 🌟🌟🌟 the workshop looks fabulous.
So sorry about your goat, that’s sad news . But on the brighter side you and Oli are a great team, you’ve accomplished a lot and made big improvements to your systems and the workshop , good work guys !
Great video!!! The greenery of your farm was amazing and calming to look at. Your goats are too cute! We laughed out loud when one of them took her own route!!! And the kids are adorable. Sorry for your loss.
Molly, the cleaning detergent must have a nice smell to it; I want to try making some. Money $aver! No orange trees here though, in my backyard – it has been a dream of mine to have a little piece of land with fruit trees. One day 🤔😄🙏 💭
See you guys in next video! Great work as always!
Questions:
Do you milk the goats once or twice daily?
Do you sell the milk to the co-op?
Do you still make and sell cheese?
Thanks !
🌷Sam and Pedro
You have accomplished a lot, things are coming together and you have some nice helpers!
Afternoon Alex, Molly and Sandra ❤🌄🐐🐐🐐. What I love about your Dairy is that is true farm for milk…just like Blue Cactus. Great fence solution 👍
Great one!
👍
Beautiful Land you have there, I love your Goats and your motivation on that land is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
