Born…

Updated August 3, 2023

Born in the early hours of this frosty morn was a sweet little lamb whose future, from the get-go, was uncertain.

Her still intact “slippers” on her hooves, a natural protection Mother Nature designed to ensure her exiting her mother’s womb would cause no damage, told she had not walked nor fed.

We shall never know why she had ended up where she had, but thankful we shall always be for the human kindness that guided her to sanctuary. For devoid of her dear mumma’s love and care, she did not stand a chance.

And even with it, it could only keep her safe for so long.

With colostrum quickly thawed, it was not long before this vital liquid gold was ravenously downed by little Vermont. Swirling through her body, it would begin kick-starting her immune system with its life-enhancing essential goodness.

That someone refused to turn away when witnessing the plight of wee baby Vermont when they so easily could, and no one other than they, been the wiser, we are reminded that the birthplace of our humanity is not found in how we treat those we consider our equals, but how we treat the most vulnerable amongst us, those we can overpower in any number of ways, those least listened to – the animals.

Monet, the rooster, embodied beauty amid cruelty. Abandoned with his hind toes amputated, Monet’s story urges us to leave impressions of kindness that outshine the shadows of cruelty.

Found abandoned, her fractured leg spoke of hardship. Yet, she embraced surgery, adapting to life on three limbs with grace. Miranda’s journey challenges us to reconsider our perceptions, reminding us of the shared essence that binds us all.

In the wake of Fae’s groundbreaking surgery, we exhale, beginning her journey to recovery. Reminded of life’s fragility, we stand ready to support her. With each day, Fae embraces new sensations, infused with the promise of kindness and the pledge to rewrite her destiny.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a goat? No, it’s Manfred Lamb! And he recently touched down into our hearts. Heralding the start of lambing season this year, dear Manfred is the first of our 2024 arrivals.

In the heart of the mangrove swamp, amidst blackberry scratches and mosquito swarms, a team embarked on a mission: rescuing a dumped rooster. As dusk loomed, their perseverance paid off in a dramatic finale, with Tylden Lad’s triumphant capture at the eleventh hour, marking a race against time and fate.

At just over one year of age, things were looking grim for Carlos. A sweet, albeit timid, young Boer goat, his immature body had taken a savage beating due to the insidious Barber’s pole worm. However, the most urgent of his woes, which far surpassed this, was a crunchy lump on his right thigh that told a crushed tibia bone lay painfully shattered underneath…

Meet this adorable and affectionate little lad named Rocky Balboa. Yet there are no fly kicks from him. In fact, the only thing that will hit you when you meet him is how endearing he is, and how undeserving he was of the dire fate he faced.

After being abandoned and almost hit by a car, these pigs were exhausted, underweight and covered in lice. But now this happy quartet have been given names synonymous with peace, as this is our promise for how they shall live out their days.

Ann, a sweet little doe-eyed heifer calf was recently spotted on our morning rounds. She was huddled in a tight ball in our tree plantation line, which separates this property from the next.

“Can someone please help me out I have a full grown female goat wanting to give away but marketplace won’t allow me to post…free of charge”.
