Meet the New Kids!
















As you've probably guessed, we have been so busy here. All are doing well...everyone is growing...bunnies, puppies, and Connor. Connor now weighs 10 pounds 13 oz and is finally 23 and 1/2 inches long. He's 3 months now! Well, this week, a big change has taken place. I decided to sell all of my pygmy goats. After a few emails, all five were sold within 2 days...not too shabby. Why you may ask? Well, the pygmy goats are definitely not bread winners for us. Our registered goats sell for more and it seems that they just aren't selling around here. And they really don't do anything but look cute and eat! haha We've decided to try our hand at a milk goat. I am purchasing a registered Nubian Doe and will be getting a free Nubian buck. She is 5 months old and he is 4 months old. I still haven't named them and plan to pick them up on Saturday. After she has a baby, I plan to continue milking her. We will be drinking her milk, uses it to raise puppies, and hopefully making goat milk soap. In the photos above, the brown one is the girl. The white one is the boy. I'll post their names when I decide.
