Other babies

 The free exotic is a silver polish - I hope it is a hen. (Small lack and white in the upper middle)

Also have Blue Slate and White Holland turkeys - moved them to the outside pen today at 6 weeks.

Surprise Farm Addition Unveiled

Some of you know I have had a surprise addition to the farm on the way. They arrived this morning.

Hint: They are larger than ducks :)

Open Barn Event

The big annual Open Barn Event is on for this weekend. The weather should be beautiful! Not much mud, but don't wear sandals or shorts. Also goats like to chew on shoe laces and other strings.
All soap will be available for purchase for the sale price of $5 per bar. Goat milk cheese will be available for a suggested donation of $5 per package.

Saturday May 3 from 2-4pm
Sunday May 4 from 2-4 pm

Light snacks and drinks will be served.

One more doe

Baby Belle had a doe that is cream color with white spots. The light color must come from Baby Belle's sire who was a Saanan.

I knew Baby Belle would deliver on Friday. Nothing was happening at 2:00 so I went to my massage (badly needed). I told her I'd be back at 5:00. Well with traffic and such, it was 5:30. I rushed down to the barn to find a half dry baby. Baby Belle looks at me and says "You SAID 5:00! Now get in here and help me dry her off."
Her name is Aspen.

Open Barn Event Update

For those of you planning to attend the annual Open Barn Event on Sunday- it has been postponed. The weather on Sunday is supposed to be soggy and 40 degreeish. The goats hate the wet and there isn't a good place for everyone to be inside.
So I'm changing to both Sat May 3 and Sun May 4 from 2-4. Hopefully that will allow for everyone to come that wants to.

Thanks!
Please pass this along to anyone you told about this event.



Sorry I thought this was posted on Friday.

And Rosie

Rosie had twins yesterday: one buck and one doe. She is one of only three who didn't need midwifing assistance this year.

Meet Trixie.
