I am 8 months old, and obviously, I am a very good boy.
Mom says I’m an old soul, but honestly, that might just be because I behave significantly better than the pony… which, frankly, is not a high bar.
My education is progressing nicely. Mom keeps making my lessons harder and harder, but I rise to the challenge like the good boy I am. I can now lower my head on demand, stand tied like a perfect gentleman, pick up all four feet like a champ, back up with style, execute a turn on the haunches, and I’m improving my turn on the forehand.
Basically, I’m crushing it.
I am also beginning to tolerate George. He is allowed to pet me and put my halter on, but let the record show: I remain vigilant. He is still highly suspicious. I don’t trust him entirely, so I make sure to keep one eye on him at all times.
You can never be too careful.
I love the cows and the pigs and don't quite understand why we cant be in the same place together but i suspect it has to do with the tiny dictator. I've hear mom say he's really mean to them so i play tag with them over the fence and run back and forth with them

I am 10 months old and, despite being the youngest, I am clearly the biggest cow here.
My mom, Delilah, was a single mother, and I am her very first baby, which means I have been spoiled appropriately. As is my right.
Some may call me “a bit of a bully,” but I prefer the term strong future leader. I am, after all, a princess and future queen. Naturally, I must assert my authority by occasionally beating up the other cows.
My mother included.
Even though she does provide excellent milkshakes.
Recently, the main servant had the audacity to place me and the others on a diet. She called us “obese.” I’m not entirely sure what that means, but I have reviewed my reflection and can confirm I look absolutely fabulous.
I am deeply offended by this injustice.
To express my displeasure, I deliver a very angry moo directly into her face. A formal protest seemed appropriate, but I have not yet escalated matters. Mostly because I have no idea where the food is being hidden. The servant has full control of the food.
The big spotted one knows. The servant seem to favor him over all of us, not sure why ?
He even has the lock combination, but unfortunately, he appears to respect the servant enough to use this power only a few times a year. Highly disappointing behavior.
When I am queen, I may fire her.
Although…
I will miss the ear scratches.

George wanted to see how the arena was built, so I figured I'd share here too . 2004 .
Marc cut all the wood for the arena and barn himself.
If somebody wants to buy it im willing to sell today after falling down the stairs for the 7th time this yea

BREAKING NEWS
We interrupt your regularly scheduled doom scrolling to bring you a developing story from the farm.
It is with great sadness that we report the tragic death of Cloud, the dove pigeon. Cloud was a recent and much-loved addition to the farm family. He appeared to have no known relatives.
Authorities have identified the alleged suspect as Head of Security, Fifi the Cat. She may have been assisted
by unknown chickens.
The remainder of the security department — the dogs — have been officially cleared of any involvement. At the time of the incident, THE HOBBITS were observed consuming a second breakfast of frozen “poopsicles” in the horse stall.
Earlier this season, Fifi had requested reassignment to indoor duty at the GREEN House, citing a strong dislike of cold weather and formally transferring outdoor responsibilities to her colleagues. Sources say the extended Green House security detail left Fifi increasingly restless. Reports include repeated incidents of attacking feet, wagging tails, and curtains within the residence.
Additionally, statements from the Black Chickens, also known as The Raptors, suggest Fifi had often made violent threats toward them during the summer. These reports were frequently dismissed by upper management due to the Raptors’ reputation for dramatic exaggeration.
The investigation is ongoing. An initial psychological assessment of the alleged suspect suggests sociopathic tendencies and a complete lack of remorse.
The farm manager has expressed guilt, stating that Head of Security Fifi was never formally briefed on the arrival of the new bird.
Court dates are expected to be announced.
Funeral arrangements for Cloud have already been made. Prayers are appreciated.
That concludes tonight’s breaking news.
Thank you for watching.
This has been Farm News Network — where no bird is truly safe.

In today’s farm news:
Chaos erupted in the main barn this afternoon as a cow riot broke out in the streets. The cows escaped confinement and staged what authorities are calling an “unplanned protest.” The cause of the uprising remains under investigation, but all parties involved have since been detained.
Damage to the roadway was described as substantial, requiring nearly ten full minutes of cleanup. Officials confirmed that the protesters defecated directly on Main Street, a bold and unmistakable act of defiance. The trash cans were also overturned
In other developing stories, lights were seen flickering across the property late this evening. Sources believe this may have been a message from leaders of the Upside Down AKA hell, allegedly issuing orders to the earthbound demon Bodhi. This situation will continue to be monitored closely. The pony was unusually well behaved tonight, causing suspicion
In happier news, the missing chicken has mysteriously reappeared. The unnamed black hen vanished Sunday evening without a trace. Authorities were alerted and a search party was dispatched. After 48 hours, she was sadly presumed departed from this world.
However, the chicken returned tonight completely unscathed, much to the relief and joy of onlookers. She will be observed for injuries, though none are currently apparent.
That’s all for tonight’s farm report.
Stay tuned, stay alert, and remember — if the cows are quiet, something is probably happening.
have a great night

A few photos around the farm
Karen’s back with the flock and acting like she never left — full of sass and attitude as usual. Padrie’s still my favorite chicken (don’t tell the others 🐔), Dolly’s being her usual sweet, cuddly self, and Phoebe… well, she’s living up to her reputation as the barnyard diva. Honestly, we should’ve named her Regina — she’s definitely a mean girl

The indoor is now closed for the season sadly . Thank you to all that came to use it and for the people trusting me and spencer to teach your youngster to ride ... I hope to see you all next year

“I moved to a farm because I wanted mini cows. I got the mini cows — and don’t get me wrong, they’re great… but honestly, they just tolerate me. Pigs though? They LOVE you. This little girl’s got my heart almost as much as Spencer and the dogs
