More Kids!

Dolly finally gave birth, after a uterine prolapse scare, to two beautiful little doelings. Mom and kids are doing great!



 Dolly is one of the most loving, attentive goat-mommas I've ever known. She is constantly talking to her babies, checking on them, and keeps them close.

Critter of the Week: Princess

This week we honor Princess, our purebred spotted Nubian doe born in 2006. We acquired Princess and her half-sister, Dolly, as kids still on the bottle. They were our very first venture into the world of goats. Having Princess and Dolly was such a wonderful experience! We could spend HOURS just watching them run, jump and play. Even watching them sleep brought a smile to my face:


They soon grew into sleek and dainty little ladies:

Princess turned out to be a superb mother and milker. After having a difficult first birth, in which only one of her triplets survived, her second birth went quick and smooth, producing very colorful twins:

We look forward to this coming spring, when Princess is due to kid once again. She is also going to become a grandma this year!
