Guess what time it is? HATCHING SEASON!!šŸ£
We started earlier this year thanks to our friends over at Doss Farms in Little Mountain! Beautiful eggs, quick turnaround once we placed our order and very friendly!
These are just a few of the hatchlings so far! There is still so much chirping coming from the hatcher of littles working their way out of their shells!
This year we are welcoming more Black Copper Marans, and adding second generation Olive Eggers, Backcrossed Olive Eggers and Brahmas!! We canā€™t wait to watch these littles grow!

Welcome to the world littles!
We welcomed a beautiful blue eyed, tricolor, moonspotted doeling 8/1 and twins on Saturday, one doeling one buckling. All babies and mamas are doing amazing and adjusting to the herd.
Buckling will be available for a new home 10/5! We are deciding on whether to keep the doelings or notšŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

We got a late start to breeding season, so Summer babies it is šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø Cali is the size of a house and probably has another 2-4 weeks before the baby, or babies, arrive! Her first kidding in 2020 she gave us one doeling, who we kept and named ā€œScreamerā€, because gracious the lungs on that girl! Her 2022 kidding gave us two more doelings, who we also kept and named ā€œCookieā€ and ā€œGingerā€. We canā€™t wait to see the quality kids Sampson and Cali produce! We have about 10 does kidding in the upcoming weeks!

Over the weekend we received this picture followed by a phone call from a close friend. Another local farmerā€™s doe kidded and rejected both babies. With all we having going on here at our own farm, we naturally said yes šŸ˜… Expecting these to be weak babies or have something wrong, we prepared for the worst. These babies have thoroughly surprised us! They have huge appetites, are very vocal and their personalities are flourishing! We are still uncertain on names at this time and would love suggestions, black and white is a doeling and buff and white is a buckling.

Itā€™s been a while since I was able to just come and sit with the herd. Between work and a home renovation, my time has been spread thin and the only time Iā€™ve spent with the caprine crew has been feed time and doing their monthly preventives. In the past 4 weeks we lost two goats, one being my heart goat, Nattie, the other our mellowed out Lamancha wether, Billy. Both took us by complete surprise.
Four weeks ago Billy had somehow got in the hayloft and ingested an entire loop of hay twine. It had to have happened overnight because when they were checked the night before he was alive, well and mellowed out like your neighborhood pothead.. the usual for him. He was my husbandā€™s favorite and Billy followed him around like a dog.
Nattie. This one hurts horribly and is very raw still. I came out Wednesday morning to one of the goats with their heads stuck. When I went to get her loose I noticed Nattie had something on her side, which I thought was a wet, muddy spot. Got Screamer loose, gave hay and when I went to leave Nattie didnā€™t move and didnā€™t offer to run to hay, which is not like her. I checked her and sure enough there was an injury to her side. I scooped her up and rushed her to the truck and flew to our friends at Martin Veterinary Services. What everyone felt would be a simple clip, clean and suture turned into Nattie being opened up. The vet found internal trauma, including intestinal damage and Nattieā€™s chances of recovery were grim. I couldnā€™t put her through more pain and suffering and asked the vet to end her suffering while she was still sedated. Nattie would have been 3 years old on Valentines Day. She was our second goat, but first ever bottle baby. She was a house goat for months and my shadow. She went everywhere with me, including road trips to add more goats to our herd.
The farm is a little quieter this morning and Iā€™m not having to fight anyone out of my coffee cup. It will get easier and we will find a new ā€œnormalā€, but this morning it just hurts.

We are super excited to bring this amazing guy to our farm and into our breeding program. After his quarantine he will be integrated in with the herd. He has the sweetest disposition and great lineage! We look forward to seeing what he brings to our Nigerian Dwarf herd! Looking forward to a late Spring, early Summer kidding season!
