It was finally not super humid or hot out this morning ☀️ so we took advantage of one of the last care free days before school starts and up 🎒 and spent a couple hours just chillin with the goaties 🐐 and each other 👩‍👦‍👦🥰 I'm going to miss these two when school starts 😭

These little guys are stronger than they look when it comes to feeding time! They want all the grain meant for the ladies, and it can take a few hands and back strength to wrangle them away. Colton here muscled the boys all by himself 💪 It says a lot about his little boy strength because that little guy on the right, the one looking at me with attitude, is really strong for his size. Colton was quick to grab on and didn't let go, caught both boys by himself, and held on during the whole feeding, even through a fight from Mr attitude. I'm so proud of his little strong self 🥰

Haven’t posted on the farm page in quite some time due to a streak of losses and difficult times. However, today I came here to share some happy news 😍 We welcomes some new life this afternoon. A little girl (the white one), and a little boy (the black one). Both Nigerian/Dwarf mixes. Both healthy and thriving well. Mama is doing well. We are so happy 💜

We have goat’s milk soap! I’m out of the Christmas mint, it was popular! But we still have unscented, cookie crumble, and cookie swirl! 🫧 I can make more Christmas mint if you want to try some, but I have more scents coming also 🥰

At about 6:00am this thankfully not freezing morning, our beautiful blind baby girl surprised us with some babies 🥰 One girl (black and brown) and one boy (white). We had no idea she was pregnant until she was in labor last night. We’ve kept her separated from the boys the best we can hoping to avoid this 😅 But nature will be nature, and well, here we are with a beautiful new little family. Mama and babies are doing well, though I will be taking the babies inside as mama is a little unsure of how to care for them. The dogs will be so excited 😂 🐐🐐🐐

My first batch of goat milk soap turned out beautifully!! This batch is unscented because I wanted to make sure it turned out ok. I was not disappointed 😍 Stay tuned for the next batch 🥰🐐🫧

Maisie and Mimeo celebrated 1 week of out of womb life by being introduced to meadow life. I celebrated by keeping some milk 🥰

Oakley has been struggling with being alone. It started while she was still pregnant. She’s doing SO well, but almost every time I leave, she cries and paces. When I come in, she hugs and kisses me, lays down and almost immediately falls asleep. She’s stressed, like any new mother would be. We don’t want to be alone right away either. We need reassurance that we’re doing good and that it’s going to be ok.

You got this mama 💜💜 You’re doing great

One little boy and one little girl made their way into the world at about 4:30 this beautiful Saturday afternoon 🥰🥰 Oakley and babies are doing amazing 🐐🐐

Oakley is preparing to be a busy mama this fall 🥰🐐

We welcomed 3 new little farmily members the other day 🥰 They’re teeny tiny compared to the other goaties running the place! They are Nigerian Dwarf and Pygmy breeds so they are about as big as they’re gonna get! 🐐🐐🐐

Some homemade sweet salsa with the aid of our tomatoes and the neighbors banana peppers 🤤 It’s delicious 🍅🌶🫑

These two precious sweet boys 💜 They are almost exactly identical. One has a slightly darker stripe down his back than the other, and that’s the only way I can tell them apart 🥰🐐

Once you sign on as a mother, that’s the only shift offered. This mama rocks it. She lets them be independent, but stays close enough to lend a wing where needed. She teaches, observes, protects, shows emotion, and even keeps them on a schedule.

Her efforts do not go unnoticed 💜 I see you Falcon. Chickens are pretty cool if you watch them close enough.
