Summer Day in the life of a Farm Girl + NEW ANIMAL!

Okay, so today I'm going to be taking you guys through a day in my life. There is a lot going on today. I need to take the horses to the vet, which we'll talk more about later, and we're also getting a new animal today, which I am so excited about. Now, it is almost breakfast time, and I don't know what mom made for breakfast, but it smells good, so let's go get breakfast. Okay, I'm actually unexpectedly heading to town with my mom right now because we have to go to the bank and run some other errands quick, so that's what we're doing. I love seeing the animals out on the grass. Okay, now that we're back from town, mom and I are heading down to pick strawberries because we have a lot of strawberries right now. They are growing like crazy. The apples are growing. They're all over. Okay, these are all strawberries. There's a lot. That one's not ready. These all need like one more day. Mom said the good ones are over here. That is weird. Guys, these strawberries actually taste so good. They're not like bland store-bought strawberries. They're so sweet and juicy, and we absolutely love them. I know we're going to be getting a lot this summer, especially as the strawberry season goes on, and any of the strawberries that we don't eat, we preserve. Usually, we make a strawberry jelly that is so good. Yeah, we love our strawberries here. It is a lot to pick them though because there are so many of them. Hey, Tucker. Hi. Come here. How's it going? Come here. Come on. Hi. Hello. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Come on. Okay. Guys, mom just made chocolate sourdough bread, and it smells so good. She made it for the first time a couple days ago, and it is literally the best thing ever. Okay, I just made my iced chai tea. The sun is so bright. Okay, so I just made my iced chai tea. I have no idea if I make it correctly, but it tastes good, so. I didn't get up early enough to read my Bible this morning because I stayed up late last night, and I usually get up at six, but I didn't get up until about seven, so I'm going to spend some time to read my Bible out here on the porch right now. It is just so nice out here right now. The Tucker. Okay, now I want to head down to the pasture because we just moved the cows out there. I want to go see how they're doing and check in on them, so let's go head down to the cows. Tucker. Hi. Hey, girls. Hey, Maggie. You're looking so pretty. Hi. How's it going? Tucker, don't get shocked by the fence. I think you'll be fine. You would panic if you got shocked, wouldn't you? Hey, cows. We've got 10 cows over here, and then our bull Rocky back there. So these are our two steers, Barney and Tank. Hello. And this guy's a steer from last year. His name is Charlie, and here's Gertie girl. Hi. Hey, Gertie. She's the sweetest little highland cow ever. We love her. She loves to get pet. She's super sweet. Hey, Barney. Okay, and then we got Summer, Barney's calf from last year, and Rosie, and this is Barney. Hey, Barney. How's it going? Barney is very affectionate as well. What? Are you guys going to fight over my attention? Yeah. Gertie's more dominant, so Barney knows to walk away. And yes, she can see. Her eye is right there and right there. She can see perfectly fine. And then we got the calves. Hello, babies. So Noelle is Gertie's calf that was born around Christmas time, and then that guy is Rosie's calf, and the blonde one back there is Barney's calf. The smaller ones are both boys, and I still have not decided on a name for them. It's probably an issue, but it's fine. Everybody looks happy. Oh my goodness. Why are they running? Uh-oh. The cows see Tucker. Cows do not like dogs. He's just gonna stay over there. Hey, Noelle. Just gonna, okay. She doesn't really like to be pet. Oh, Barney. What are you doing? I know, okay. I'll pet you. She doesn't love to be pet, but she will come up to me. Hi, gorgeous girl. Hi. Oh, hi. Your baby's right there. He's fine. You're so sweet. You're so sweet. Barney is not a bottle baby, believe it or not, and she is the sweetest girl ever. Super cuddly. I actually tried, oh, okay. I actually, Barney, I tried milking her after she had her calf, but with going to camp, I knew it wouldn't really work. But yeah, she was great with it. She did pretty good, but maybe next year we'll actually start milking her. Tucker's waiting by the gate to get out now. The cows didn't even come near him, but he knew that they did not want him in here. You're a sweet girl. That little guy's looking at Maui. He's like, what kind of cow is that? Pretty funny looking, huh? Maui just looks so majestic. Straight out of a fantasy book. Over the fence. Hello. Are you guys ready to go to the vet? About in an hour or two, we gotta go. So I'm taking the horses to the vet to get vaccinated because I'm actually bringing both Selena and Maggie with me to camp this summer, and they need to be up to date on vaccines. And most of the vaccines they need aren't sold over the counter, so a vet has to do it. So we gotta take these girls to the vet to get them up to date on vaccinations. So that's why we need to take them there. There's no issues with them. It's just required, so. Selena just laid down. They love it out here on pasture so much. Oh, Selena. What are you doing? Don't do it. Don't do it. Look at how big Maggie's hooves are. She's got big hooves, and big hooves means that the horse is gonna be big, so. Hey girl. Oh, so sleepy. Oh my goodness. I have the sweetest girls. I love them so much. Maggie wants to bite me so bad right now. She just loves to bite things, but she knows that she should not. Does that feel good? Yeah. Bless you. Sweet girl. Can you get up? The grunting. She's so precious. Hey Maggie. What, what is that? Are you guys gonna follow me if they come back over to the gate? I'll get them some treats. They're so sweet. Hey Maui. Tucker, are you ready to get out? Tucker's only. No Maui's. I'll get you girls some treats, okay? This container is so hard to open. I just knocked that over. There we go. You want one, Romeo? Selena. Oh, she dropped it. I think she's got it. Here, Brownie. I need one for you. I should just give them this. There you go. Come on. Okay, I did some editing for a little bit, ate lunch, and now we are going out to train Belle because we've been training her to a halo collar just to keep her on the property because she's been leaving the property. So that's what we're going to do. This is Isaac. Hi. Belle's been doing good with the training. We're hoping she gets it. She kind of just thinks it's a game at this point. Hey, Hermione. Hey, buddy. Cheeto is a very strange cat. He's been making a lot of weird noises lately, talking like a person. It's so weird. Hi, Bella. Hey, Belle. We got to take her over to a boundary so that we can work on that with her there. Oh my goodness, there it goes. Belle, no. No, Belle, stay here. Part of being a horse girl means that I have a solid grip because I had a pony that liked to pull at the lead rope all the time, and I developed a good grip. Oh, good girl. I didn't even hear it, but she came back. Oh, good girl. There you go. We'll do it there one more time and then walk her up along the boundary. See if she walks the other direction when it's beeping. Good girl. This way. Come on. Good. Ember came out with us. Hey, Ember. The bugs are eating me alive. She just wants to play. Oh, no. There she goes. Hey, Belle. It's been nice and sunny all day so far, but it's about to get cloudy. It's partly cloudy right now, but it's going to be completely cloudy in a little bit, which is kind of sad because I prefer the sun to be out, but that's As long as it's not raining because the last time I tried to film a day in my life, which was a couple days ago, it was storming all day, and I ended up scrapping that video because there was nothing to do. It was raining all day. Look at how long the thorns on this plant are. Look at that. That's crazy. There's literally a thorn on this thorn. That's nasty. Hey, Ember. You look so pretty. What's going on over here? I just decided to lay down, yeah. Okay. Yeah, I just decided to lay down. Didn't trip or anything. Oh, okay. Nothing happened. Uh-huh. Well, where's that backup? What backup? I need you to help me back up. Come here, Belle. Okay, I'm now walking down to the bottom of the pasture because it's time to get the horses loaded now to go to the vet. Loading in the trailer is never really fun because Selena is terrified of the trailer. I've tried working on it with her, and she's gotten better at it, and Maggie has also hardly ever been in the trailer, so this could be interesting. So, just praying that this goes smoothly and easily. I think I'm gonna bring Maggie in first. That way, Selena will be more willing to go in and be more calm about it. What is a chicken doing out here? That is strange. I'll have to tell Isaac about that. Hey, girls. How's it going? Hi. I always make sure to talk to them as I'm walking around the corner. Otherwise, sometimes they get spooked when I walk around, and they don't know I'm coming. You girls ready? You're good. Let's get Selena. Come on, Selena. Keep up. Hey, girls. We're here. You did so good loading. Good girls. It's okay. Okay, the horses did really good loading. We're here now just waiting for a vet to come out. Okay, I spent the rest of my afternoon editing because I have way too much editing to get done right now before I go to camp. The bugs are terrible out here right now, but I'm gonna go into town with my mom now. I have some last minute shopping that I need to do before I go to camp. Nice job. It's a day in my life. I help my mom. I do all the heavy lifting. Yeah, I brought a flower. Well, mom's soil got dirt all over me. Mom soiled my paint. Okay, it is now Sunday, and the last time I talked to you guys was on Friday, and you're probably thinking, Evelyn, where's the new animal? Well, there was some kind of miscommunication, and we weren't able to pick up the new animal on Friday, but we are going to pick it up this morning after church. So I'm in my church clothes right now, but I'm gonna bring a change of clothes because I do not want to get this dirty. Then we're gonna bring the new animal home. In a past video, I kind of already mentioned that I'm gonna be getting this animal, so that might help you guys guess just a little bit, but yes, let's go pick up the new animal. Okay, buddy, we're back. You were so quiet on the Okay, well, this is the new animal. He's a little wary right now. It's a new area. He doesn't know what's going on. That's okay. I know he is very friendly because he did do goat yoga at his previous home, and he spent lots of time around people, but this is my new buck from my herd. So he is an ADGA registered buck, and his color is silver, which is a very desirable color, and he also has blue eyes. I'm also just in love with his conformation and build. He's gonna be a really nice buck, so I'm super excited about him. He's also just so adorable, and I can tell he has a big personality already. What? He just got pulled away from his mama, so he's gonna be a little upset for a couple days. Aww. Maybe he'd like some grain. Hey, buddy. No? I'll just leave some on the ground. Now, as for this guy's name, I still haven't fully decided on one yet. His name before I got him was Fred, but I don't know how I feel about that. That doesn't really suit a buck, and his dad is also a silver goat, and his dad's name is Sterling, and I really like that, and I kind of think I want to steal it because it's a really good name. So, I might name this guy Sterling. Do you like that name? His blue eyes are so pretty, too. Okay, well, I hope you guys enjoyed today's video. This guy is definitely gonna be yelling for a few days because he just got weaned and taken away from his mom. It's a little bit of a stressful situation for any baby goat, so it'll take him a little bit to settle in. We'll probably put one of the weathers in with him, just as a friend. So, subscribe if you'd like to stick around and get updates on this new little guy. God bless, and I'll see you in the next one.
