Bootsie the llama was a little gun shy for a couple of months but she has become part of the Peterson Ranch family. Her mother on the other hand, "Mama" can't be bought. #llama #motheranddaughter #petersonranch #family #wheat #wheatfeed #ranch #familyfarm #albertafarming #goatfarm #homestead #petersonempire (at Strathmore, Alberta)

Up close and personal with "Boots". She is the daughter of the black llama. The black llamas name? Well it's just "Mama". I have to admit they are kind of cool kats and I think they will fit into my 3 ring circus just fine. #llama #farmanimals #farmlife #albertafarming #livestock #homestead #petersonempire (at Siksika Nation)

We pulled these John Deere tractors out of the back 40. @brandonpeters0n managed to get both of them running today. They aren't going to be my most useful tractors but they will sure help move a few bales and feed around the farm. I found 2 old trailers to hook behind so what the hell. #johndeeretractor #johndeerelawntractor #johndeere #back40 #farmlife #albertafarming #haybales #ineverbailonlybale #petersonempire (at Cluny, Alberta)

First day on the Peterson farm and the 3 new goats have taken their spot at the rulers of the barnyard. Not a lot to rule over just yet, just a couple of ducks, but they are showing them who is boss. There was also concern that we may be have looked a little suspicious driving around in the fields in the dark with spot lights in the first week of deer hunting season looking for our escaped goats. #goats #lostgoat #deerhunting #deerhuntseason2016 #escapedgoat #spotlighthunting #albertafarming #farming #ineverbailonlybale #petersonempire

Did some horse trading, errr goat trading for some straw we had on hand. We thought we had our corrals all ready for these three girls but they showed us in the first five minutes how wrong we were. Of course this is what we wanted so we could be make sure we are ready when the rest of the herd arrives in a week. #goats #goatherd #goatherder #horsetrading #strawbales #corrals #albertafarming #farming #goatfarm #goatescape #ineverbailonlybale #petersonempire

Last year at this time I never dreamed I would be herding ducks around. The only herding I have done for the past 25 years are semi-trucks. But the job is somewhat the same. In one day I have lost my ducks twice, twice they were almost in accidents (wandered out on the road) and they looked pissed because I told them they had to stay overnight in their bunks, errr I mean their duck house. #ducks #farmducks #duckhouse #palletduckhouse #albertafarming #albertatruckers #trucking #trucker #semitruck #herdingducks

Delivered some appetizers to these good looking fellers to try out. Turns out they approved of our hay and told their owners to get on the phone and get a full load coming asap. You won't have to wait for long, we are on it boys. #horsehay #albertahayforsale #ilovehorses #cowgirls #albertafarming #ineverbailonlybale #petersonempire
