Duck Update!!!The ducks are just short of 4 weeks old and growing like weeds. So far, everyone here - the goats, cattle, horses, dogs ......really everyone has taken a liking to them. Our livestock Guardian dog, Kate, has decided she prefers to watch over the ducks rather than the goats, which is pretty amazing given how much she loves "her" goats. All in all, they are a wonderful addition to our ranch! Just a reminder - We will have pastured duck available 3/22!! We have a limited amount still available, as we've already received many pre-orders, so please send us your orders soon!!Here are a few pictures from today for you to enjoy:
