VLOG – Never Done Homestead

New Lambs on the Homestead

May 10, 2018May 10, 2018 Sarah

I hope you are ready for a cuteness overload, because it’s lambing season here at Never Done Homestead!

In today’s homestead video, I get to introduce you to our newest fluffy babies. Plus, I gave the cows and goats a few mins of camera time, too. 😉

BUT, I do want to warn you. At the END of today’s video, I included scenes of a sheep birth. I know some people aren’t good with seeing blood and slimy stuff.
So if you know you wouldn’t enjoy seeing a brand new lamb come into the world, just watch the beginning of the video. I let you know in the video when the birth scene is about to start.

Hope you are having an amazing day!

We’re Back in the Garden Again

March 30, 2018 Sarah

Have you ever had one of those weeks where you feel like you were just constantly busy, but when the end of the week rolled around, you had NO CLUE what you did all week?

That was our week in a nut shell.

BUT, I do remember one job we completed this week.
We planted the first seeds in the vegetable garden!!! OH YEAH!

For you non-gardeners, that probably sounds really boring.

But after a long, dreary winter, it’s so fun to watch those little green shoots start poking their heads through the garden soil. Well, unless it’s weed shoots…

So if you want to catch a bit of the fun, join us in today’s video as we begin to awaken the sleeping garden.

Whipping Up Some Goat Milk SOAP

March 12, 2018March 12, 2018 Sarah

How is Daylight Savings Time treating you today? Me? I’m tired.

Don’t worry. We will all adjust before the time “falls back” in the autumn.

To perk up your tired brain, we have a short video for you!

Come join me in the kitchen as I whip up a batch of goat milk soap.
I’m using the beef tallow that we rendered earlier in the winter.
(If you didn’t see the tallow rendering video, you can watch it HERE.)

Hope you are having a great day!
Talk to you soon,

Wrapping Up January with PIGLETS & a LAMB

January 31, 2018January 31, 2018 Sarah

Can you believe it’s the end of January already?! Why, it feels like Christmas was just last week!

But before January is officially over, we have a couple things to share.

First, the piglets are here. Well, some of them, anyway. Anna tells me there are a BUNCH more on the way. She and my younger sisters are going to be BUSY next month!

(I have to admit, pigs are not my thing. I really think they hate me. So, since my sisters don’t usually need my help in the pig barn, I focus more on the sheep, goats, and pastured chickens.)

And as if taking care of a bunch of grumpy pregnant pigs didn’t keep her busy enough, Anna has also been bottle feeding a baby lamb. Our cousin had a sheep that rejected her lamb, so Anna agreed to take care of the baby.

Want to see all these cute babies? Check out Anna’s video below!

Till next time, friend,

Sarah
