Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, And attend to your herds; For riches are not forever, Nor does a crown endure to all generations. When the hay is removed, and the tender grass shows itself, and the herds of the mountains are gathered in, The lambs will provide your clothing, And the goats the price of a field; You shall have enough goat's milk for your food, For the food of your household, And the nourishment of your maidservants. Prov. 27:23-27

Benji n' Blackie


On Thursday Karen took a few kids outside to bottle feed
them in the sunshine and Benji was having a lot of fun
with "Blackie" so I took a video of him.

Our goats are getting quite serious about kidding. We had over one hundred babies last week.
It was very busy but it was fun. In the last few weeks we have doubled the amount of goats we are milking.


The picture above shows some of our yougest babies.The red glow in this picture is just fom the heat lamps.They are very curious little animals.

Overworked and Underpaid

I feel like I've been in the barn constantly.We have had a lot of new kids lately. They all need to be bottle fed for the first three feedings and then for the next three taught to drink from a nipple. Sorry I don't have pictures of the kids right now.
These are some pictures of taking down the chicken coop. We had to take it down to be able dig the foundations for the new barn.Teaching nicole how to drive the tractor. Sarah catching a ride.Pouring cement.
