If you have sent me an email since August 4, I will not receive it. My account was hacked and I am permanently locked out of it. I have also lost all my contacts.

So I have set up two new gmail accounts. One for the soap/goat business (Westfarm Goats) and one as personal. Here is my business one www.fullmoongoats@gmail.com

Please note I DO NOT have any of my email contacts anymore.

Baby Watch

Feels odd to not be on baby watch this time of year. However, is nice to not be up in the middle of the night while also finishing up the semester! First kids are due on June 6th. That will be Lemongrass.

Wrestling Daisy

So many times I wish I had a video running in the barn yard. I've been doctoring Daisy for mastitis. She is just 2 years old and not bred, so it is unusual for her to have mastitis, but it happened. This meant I had to hold her while inserting medicine into her udder. Note Daisy is about 60# and I weight slightly less than 100#. I had hold of her pretty well as she is trying to bite my ear and of course trying to get away. Somehow, she jumped and we fell backwards. I'm now laying on my back with a goat upside down on top of me. I know if I let go, I won't catch her again and the medicine has not been administered. Have you ever tried to get up off your back only using your elbows with half your weight laying on you??? Well it is not easy and actually would have been funny to watch!

Daisy is on the right. She is with Meadowsweet her twin sister.

A flash past the front door.....

A flash past the front door. An explosion of chicken feathers. Ollie runs out the backdoor barking. And the fox trots up the hill to the road with a mouthful of Speckled Sussex.

Dang, my Nemesis is back......

Snowdrop's birthday party

Snowdrop turned 1 on Jan 12th. We had a goat birthday party for her complete with party hats!

Snowdrop and her brother at birth. The brother now lives at another farm with one of the other boys born here last spring.

One year later with her BFF, Anne. Anne tended to Snowdrop when she was born as I was out of town, so they bonded. Snowdrop will only let Anne hold her.

 Strawberry is her grandmother.

Adopt A Goat

I've been trying to figure out ways to support the goats on this farm. The current milkers pay for their feed, but the pet wethers, kids, and retired ladies do not. The cost of feed, minerals, essential oils - for health and the occasional vet bill is becoming cost prohibitive. It is important to me to care for these goats for their entire lives. When I make the commitment to keep a kid, that means I'm committing to 14-17 years. Not only do I have a dairy farm, but I allow the old retired goats to live out the rest of their lives in this peaceful home. Goats develop life time relationships with other goats and are very stressed when they are removed from their friends and clan. This is why I try to not sell anyone, particularly the older goats.

So I have created an "Adopt a Goat" program to help with expenses. Have you ever wanted to own a goat, but have no place to keep them? Well here is your chance. I'm offering subscriptions to Adopt A Goat. It costs a minimum of $55 per month to feed and care for an adult goat. There are 3 levels of adoption: Helper $10/month, Maintainer $50/ month or Sustainer $100/month. There is also the option of a one time year payment with a discount off of the monthly payment.

The benefits to you:

Helper Level - This level will feed your goat for about one week

1. Knowing you are helping care for loving goat so she/he can stay with her family.

2. Yearly visits to the farm to bond with your goat.

3. Photos and your goat's special history.

Maintainer Level- This level will feed your goat for one month

1. The above benefits

2. You get to choose who you want to adopt from the available goats.

2. Monthly updates on your goat

3. Two bars of goat milk soap

Sustainer Level: - This level will feed your goat and help pay for herd vet bills

1. The above benefits

2. Monthly visits to the farm to bond with your goat.

3. Four bars of Full Moon infused goat milk soap.

4. Special invites to attend events in the life of your goat (birthings etc)

5. At the end of your goats life you have the option of receiving some of their cremated remains.

Adopted goats will remain on the farm of Westfarm Goats to be cared for and loved for their entire life.

There seems to be a problem with the Subscribe button - I'm trying to figure it out.
