Fourth Day of Farm Camp

Today we bathed both horses with shampoo. Then we had a bee lesson on bees and we got to see an observation hive with real bees. After that we laid straw in the animal shelters. We were late giving the health treatment  because one of the goats was in labor. After Allison finished taking out the twins she found out that they were dead because they were born really early, the twins were a girl and a boy. We  were very sad.

Today we fed the baby goats, rode and groomed the horses. My group mixed the milk for the bottles to feed the baby goats tomorrow. Then we practiced goat showing with Allison, it was sort of hard.
After that we learned some about Angora goats and their fiber. After lunch we ate our Ice cream that we made yesterday. Some people said it tasted like goats but I liked it a lot. Then we gave the baby's their medicine. After that we worked on are blog, made the cheese for our pizza on Friday. We will make salve and then depart from the farm. I had lots of fun today!

The Second Day of Farm Camp

Today we fed the baby goats again which we will be doing every morning. Then we went and groomed the horses and rode them we also will be doing that every day. After that all teams did something different. my team scooped up poop surprisingly the poop did not stink. When we finished that Jonie brought  back chicks and baby ducks so we used are break time and cleaned out a shelter for the chicks. It was awesome! Then we made ice cream that we will eat tomorrow, we can't eat it today because it is not hard enough to eat. after that Allison sheared the alpaca, the fiber is very stinky. We also gave the baby's their medicine again. Then we all made laundry detergent, milked are goats, and worked on are blog. Later my team will collect the eggs.
