Big tummies

With 4 weeks to go before they're due -- ALL ON THE SAME DAY!!!!! It'll be an interesting day.

This will be Junebug's first. She's an Alpine, bred to a Lamancha.

Fidget has had twins and a single. Looks like twins again. She's also an Alpine bred to a Lamancha.


Peyton had twins last year. Triplets this year?? She's a Lamancha bred to a Lamancha.



Kids will be available shortly after arrival. They will need to be bottle fed.

Expecting Goats

Many thanks to Isaiah Jenkins for the use of Jasper, one of his Lamancha bucks. You can see more of Jasper at Isaiah's blog movingonward.blogspot.com

I expect colorful kids with excellent milking potential from my Alpine and Lamancha does.

Is it spring yet?

With the 'charming' weather we're having right now, I thought a bit of spring, and springing kids, would be just the thing to remind us of the joys of spring. Just a few more months away...

What all the well dressed goats are wearing for sub-zero weather!

Negative 15 is a bit much even for hardy ponies.

Lamb-demonium

It's been a little crazy -- 24 lambs from 7 ewes.

Samantha had twin ewes -- one black, the other dark brown piebald.
Then came an Alpine buckling -- Scooter. Big fella. Anyone need a herd sire?
Then there were more lambs:
Tuula had quads, Blaakie had quads, Lexie had triplets and Goldie had QUINTUPLETS. I haven't had time to take pictures of them all yet.

We have proven ewes as well as lambs for sale. The list is in the works and should be up this weekend.

Baby goats & more lambs

Tuesday morning brought baby goats. Both does. Both for sale immediately as bottle babies. The dam is Lamancha, the sire Alpine. These does will be awesome milkers. Or great pets -- they are so cute!
Tuesday afternoon brought Finn triplets from Harlequin Impi. Three ewe lambs.
