Goats Galore!

Well, it’s about time I updated with some recent goat pho­tos, isn’t it? As always, click on the pho­tos to enlarge and scroll through the album. And yes, you are going to notice some new goats in the herd!

We are look­ing for­ward to some births start­ing within the next few weeks — not only will this mean adorable goat babies bounc­ing around the barn, it will also bring us some more milk — which is much needed, as we have had to start the lac­ta­tion dry-offs for some of our preg­nant girls who were pro­vid­ing a lot of our milk. Goats need the last two months of their five month ges­ta­tion off from milk­ing in order to ded­i­cate all of their resources to nour­ish­ing the devel­op­ing kids they are car­ry­ing. We stag­gered out our girls preg­nan­cies this year as much as we could in order to keep a con­tin­u­ous milk sup­ply going, but their pro­duc­tion is still quite down from where we were even a month ago! So we look for­ward to all of the girls refresh­ing over the next few months. I’m really antic­i­pat­ing post­ing some baby pho­tos up soon.

If you are local to the area, and might be inter­ested, or know some­one who is — we have a cou­ple of items for sale on Craigslist. Please pass these list­ings on accord­ingly — as always, funds from these sales sup­port the farm!
