A new delivery. Nope, not a goat.

Look what was brought to us yesterday. Isn't he cute.

He was born about 3 weeks ago I think. He spent a week with his mama and then she was sent to the sale. I guess he went 2 weeks with out milk and now we are trying to get him to drink a little goat milk from a pail. I gave him full strengh goat milk this morning but he didn't take to it too well so this afternoon, I offered half water and half gm. I don't know how that will work. He is eating food so he won't starve.

I told my son we were going to name him Roast and my husband said we could name him Supper. J doesn't know yet what he really is going to be. I guess the sooner I tell him, the better.

J wants to call him Thunder

Hello Patty. And all the kids. :)

Good bye Candy. :(



Candy went to her new home today. My husband has an uncle that took her.
Candy was my first milk goat and she was a good one. She was a little on the wild side but was good on the table most of the time and she had good milk! She will be missed by me.
She had mastitis last milk season and lost one side of her udder. It just wasn't logical to keep her if I wasn't going to milk her. I have others to milk now and one will be her daughter, Holly. Hopefully she will have as good a milk as her mama.
Candy is due with kids in December and I hope to get to see them. She has had twins the last few years and I don't expect any different this year.
