17.01.2022 Doesn’t matter whether they’re 2 or the 4 legged kids you always end up carrying them around and have them climb all over you or so they think? . They both have amazing balance.

16.01.2022 32 today and we have struggling dogs with the heat. All resting and some sleeping. They’re not looking forward to Friday 39 & Sat 40. It’s going to be another one of those summers again we’re guessing.....#SunnyAcresFarmAU #rushworth #countryvictoria #sleepingandrestingjelpies #farmlife #lovinglife #akelpielife

16.01.2022 We have many personalities & clowns at Sunny Acres Farm large & small but these 2 are so funny and absolutely love each other’s company. Buckley loves the attention & loves finding someone to play with and doesn’t matter of the size nor breed or if it is out & about or in his paddock with the other goats hehehe!! Penelope has really settled down and it hasn’t taken long to know where her bottle comes from. Like the same with Cruze & Darla they all learnt quite quickly the best place to wait is at the sink lol... #SunnyAcresFarmAU #rushworth #countryvictoria #sunnyacresminiaturegoatstud #australianminiaturegiats #scottishhighland #penelopeandbuckley #playtime #funtimes #farmlife #lovinglife #akelpielife

15.01.2022 Miss Rita has her hitch hiker back again hehe!! Miss Nola thinks she’s a bit too delicate to sit on the ground so mum is the next best thing . She’s such a brilliant mum... #SunnyAcresFarmAU #SunnyAcresMiniatureGoatStud #australianminiaturegoats #rushworth #countryvictoria #missrita #brilliantmum #missnola #twindoes #cheekygirl #comfy #goatslife #akidslife #farmlife #lovinglife #akelpielife

14.01.2022 Someone’s not a happy boy!!!! This is what happens when a small little goat makes you take a backseat on your favourite couch hehehe!! Sunny he doesn’t take up that much room you can share lol .... #SunnyAcresFarmAU #SunnyAcresMiniatureGoatStudAU #australianminiaturegoats #rushworth #countryvictoria #sunny #buckley #favouritespot #pushedoffcouch #nothappy #bossyboots #farmlife #lovinglife #akelpielife

14.01.2022 This beautiful little girl Miss Penelope is doing really well. She’s 10 days old now and absolutely loving her morning & night bottles for someone that didn’t want to drink for her first few days of being born. Sound like someone else? Cruze by name cruise by nature . She now goes out into a couple of our small paddocks during the day close by to mingle with her brother Cruze & Darla. I’ve also had her & her buddy Buckley in with the goats. She’s taken a fancy to ...the goats shelters for her daily snooze the cheeky girl but the goats don’t seem to mind neither especially Miss Rita considering she’s the boss of the paddock hehe!! #SunnyAcresFarmAU #rushworth #countryvictoria #scottishhighland #heifercalf #misspenelope #bottlefed #drinkingwell #lovingherbottles #cheekygirl #beautifulgirl #calfslife #farmlife #lovinglife #akelpielife See more

13.01.2022 Mumma what is this? Lol...Someone has his nose out of joint? Mr Buckley wasn’t impressed with me feeding another animal today to the point he not only head butted the little ram lamb, he also wouldn’t come for his night bottle. It might be a good way of him weaning himself off the bottle hmmm just a thought..... #SunnyAcresFarmAU #rushworth #countryvictoria #the_xplore_family #SunnyAcresMiniatureGoatStud #mrbuckley #agoatslife #jealousboy #sillybilly #funnyboy #farmlife #lovinglife #akelpielife

11.01.2022 If your looking for something else to do but not travel too far check out the market in town..

11.01.2022 These 2 must be miss seeing all our campers. They came down for a visit so out come the carrots. Didn’t take long for them to polish off a bag hehehe!!! #SunnyAcresFarmAU #rushworth #countryvictoria #albyandalice #camelfeeding #carrots #favoritefood #acamelslife #farmlife #lovinglife #akelpielife

11.01.2022 We finally got this one Miss Penelope drinking a whole bottle tonight her first full bottle since Monday. Now I’m happy it can be a bit of a worry when mum can’t feed properly & then you can’t get them to drink but she’s got there and no stopping her now. Just over a litre last night after mucking around trying to get her to drink all day long honey was the magic tool for Cruze and now with his sister once they stop licking it off the teat first hehehe!! The things we do sometimes but wouldn’t have it any other way... #SunnyAcresFarmAU #rushworth #countryvictoria #scottishhighland #heifercalf #misspenelope #threedaysold #farmlife #lovinglife #akelpielife

11.01.2022 A massive Thank You.. We would like to thank all our families that stayed with us over the passed 3/4 days given the extreme heat. It was an absolute pleasure having you all here as our official campers on our reopen for Australia Day Weekend in 2021, it’s been a LONG time coming. We totally understand to those that needed to cancel given the circumstances of the weather we would rather everyone be safe & happy that suits their needs. Looking forward to having you all h...ere at a later date in the near future. There is nothing worse in not being able to stay cool or having to make do.. I would like to thank all the fantastic kids that helped me with animals feeding every morning and with camel feeding late in the day. It was fantastic to see kids here enjoying themselves and getting to know our animals for the first time and all our Covid babies getting to know people/campers for the first time with our reopen as they only know us. They did really well considering and will get better once they get use to people/campers & kids coming to feed & visit them more often. Sunny, Molly and Buckley & Buddy were most definitely the hits of the weekend and not to forget to mention Pepè our donkey was definitely a hit with the kids and adults. Once againThank you and take care & safe travels home and looking forward to having you all back in the near future. Please stay hydrated... #SunnyAcresFarmAU #rushworth #countryvictoria #reopen #australiadayweekend #familiesareback #hvingfun #familytime #kidstime #farmlife #lovinglife #akelpielife

08.01.2022 I think Cruze has been spending way too much time with our buffalo Benson & Dexter. He’s starting to think his a buffalo by the looks of things ...#SunnyAcresFarmAU #rushworth #countryvictoria #scottishhighland #cruze #notabuffalo #cheekyboy #gorgeousboy #farmlife #lovinglife #akelpielife

07.01.2022 With heavy heart we have to make a sad but the right decision to say goodby to Miss Pheobe today. Those that met & fed her would remember her & Shuffles. She was a triple and he was a twin that were born 4 days apart 12mths ago but become twins to themselves growing up together with Cruze & Darla. When she was born it was many sleepless nights to keep this little girl alive around the close feeds within that first 14 days. I told her one morning as she ran to the doo...r towards me you will be the death of me girlie . Every morning I didn’t know what I was coming out too in those early days. About 5wks ago she had a injury her back leg and her hamstring was torn. With much great & fantastic help and advice from our vet & Daryl making a frame for her leg to trying to get her leg right but unfortunately to no avail we can’t put her through this no more. Miss Pheobe was a bit of a loner but she was certainly a battler from day 1 she got through everything but just not this battle of this horrendous injury. She loved her cuddles & absolutely loved Shuffles. She will be missed without seeing her & her sidekick Shuffles side by side.... #SunnyAcresFarmAU #rushworth #countryvictoria #misspheobe #rip #willmissyou #mydarling #hardlife #farmlife #lovinglife #akelpielife

06.01.2022 Look what we got first thing this morning at Sunny Acres Farm. Yes Raven (Cruze’s mum) has had her calf, it’s a little heifer.

06.01.2022 These 2 are just nuts some days and this morning is absolutely one of those days. Out to the paddock you both go, the couch isn’t a wrestling pad it’s for bums not hooves lol ...#SunnyAcresFarmAU #SunnyAcresMiniaturaStudAU #rushworth #countryvictoria #scottishhighland #australianminiaturagoats #penelope #buckley #bestbuds #crazyfriends #littlenutters #bottlefed #farmlife #lovinglife #akelpielife

06.01.2022 This cheeky boy Mr Buckley thinks he can sit/stand anywhere he feels like whilst waiting for his bottle or anywhere/anytime for that matter even with the dogs hehehe!! #SunnyAcresFarmAU #SunnyAcresMiniatureGoatStudAU #rushworth #countryvictoria #australiaminiaturegoats #babykids #babygoats #mrbuckley #cheekyboy #farmlife #lovinglife #akelpielife

05.01.2022 We have welcomed Miss Ruby back for a litttle while until she makes her way on a plane to be with her dad. She has matured a lot since the last time she was here. She’s loving her play, swims and interacting with all the other dogs on the farm and yes the quad bike & Jeep. We’ve been doing some One on one work with her Recall & Obedience, she’s doing extremely well blending & working in with the others getting to know her place in the order. She’s still a cocky little bitch tho, nothing that can’t be tweaked with some time before her trip Great work Ruby ....#SunnyAcresFarmAU #rushworth #countryvictoria #missruby #farmlife #lovinglife #akelpielife
