Sue Weaver's "Mondays with Martok" blog
Mondays with Martok
How should you care for the critters around the farm? Get the answers straight from Martok the goat’s mouth (with translation by Sue Weaver, a regular Hobby Farms contributor). Delivered with a dose of humor, his blog tells tales of animal husbandry realities, tips and discoveries.



05/23/2011 - Cadwaladr’s Goat
Mom is snuffling and sneezing because she has pollen allergies. Guess what she’s allergic to? The nice oak trees that make our yummy leaves! Because she’s feeling down, Uzzi and I decided to share one of our favorite goat tales with her (and you).

05/16/2011 - Holy Cow!
A few weeks ago, Mom let me blog about sheep trivia from the book she’s writing. People liked it, so here’s some fun facts about cows.

05/09/2011 - Getting Shorn
Our sheep were supposed to get shorn today, but it rained last night so now they can’t. They’re relieved and upset at the same time. They don’t like to be caught and rolled into all those weird positions, but they say it’s nice to feel the cool breeze on their skins afterward.

05/02/2011 - The Rains Came
Everything is muck and mire on our farm. According to our rain gauge, 13 inches of rain fell in just four days! Uzzi and I huddled in our Port-a-Hut while storm after storm roared by.

04/18/2011 - Cheviot Dolls
Have you ever heard of Cheviot Dolls? They’re half Babydoll Southdown and half Miniature or Classic Cheviot. We’re going to get one!

04/11/2011 - Chew on This
Last week, a lady brought her children to our farm to meet us. The little boy looked at me and said, “What’s he chewing?” “His cud,” his mama told him. “He chews up his food and swallows it, then horks it up again and chews it some more. And you know what? He has four stomachs!”

04/04/2011 - Did Ewe Know?
Mom has been collecting trivia about sheep to go in the book she’s writing. She said I could share some with you. Isn’t this fun!

03/28/2011 - Here Be Lambs!
Last night, Wren had her babies in one of the stalls attached to the round pen. That’s only a little way from my buck pen, so Uzzi and I got to listen in.

03/21/2011 - Growing Buckeye Chicks
Our baby Buckeyes are doing fine and growing up fast! They all have feathered wings, and some have tiny tail feathers, too. Buckeyes are big, active chicks, so ours are already trying to hop out of the brooder.

03/14/2011 - The Chicks are Here!
Our chicks arrived on Friday, and now there are 10 red-and-yellow peeps in the living room. (Their brooder makes a good light for when me ‘n’ Uzzi creep in at night to use the computer.)
