Greetings!

    Wow!  It has been a busy couple of weeks.  It looks like Spring has finally arrived and we have been busy with kidding season.  So far we have 11 little boer kids on the group.  The smallest one was 9 pounds!  Everyone had twins except Powder Puff, our first time mother.  But since her little buck was 11 pounds, we aren't going to give her a hard time for only having one.  Big Momma, our oldest (and largest) nanny was the first to deliver.  She had twins, Jack and Jill.  After a few days, Big Momma decided that she really didn't want to take care of two kids so she is letting me take care of Jill.   

Jill is the little one that is trying to nurse in the picture.  She is a sweet little girl and can finish her bottle in less then 5 minutes!  Even though Momma isn't interested in her anymore, she is doing very well.  Our number 13 doe gave birth to twin bucks and we thought Zebbo was a rather colorful character.  His markings are so unique.  It looks almost like he has eye shadow on his eyes.  

We are still awaiting the arrival of our Angora kids.  Both Betty and Megan are looking good, but not quite ready to deliver.  

Our CSA sign-ups are still underway and we only have 4 more spots available.  If you are interested, let us know ASAP.  We are taking only a limited number of memberships this year.

If you have an overgrown pasture or fence line and don't want heavy equipment to clean up your property, consider our Rent-A-Goat program.  We do the set up, put up temporary fence if needed, and deliver the goats.  The goats work cheaper then having human labor, supply free fertilizer, and do an awesome job cleaning up unwanted weeds, raspberry bushes, poison ivy, and more.  Contact us to discuss your needs.   

We've been busy in the garden and a lot of our herbs are already starting to grow well.  The chives, mint, garlic, and Thyme are looking very good.  We have many veggies started in the greenhouse and have been tilling the garden and preparing for planting.  

The hens have starting laying their eggs.  The girls love being outside in the grass and they are prefect assistants for tilling the garden.  We are getting set up to receive our additional meat birds and turkeys that will be arriving next week.  We will have turkey's for sale later this year.  

We hope you are enjoying the wonderful weather and spending some time outside.   

Until next time, best wishes!
