I haven't posted on this account for quite some time but I wanted to share some of this year's kids.🥰

Two does have kidded so far, both mini nubians. (The standards start next week) Both girls were bred to Echo Hills Mojave Jericho, who I purchased from Lil Bit of Heaven Homestead last fall. This buck has proven very promising in improving our breed character, and his small size will help take down the height of his offspring.
Taconic Mtn Peanut was first to kid and did an amazing job all on her own. All we did was watch it happen, which is exactly what we want!
Introducing Taconic Mtn Cashew and Taconic Mtn Macadamia (Mack)
Both beautiful bucklings 💙 First pictured is Mack, then Cashew. Dam has fantastic capacity, giving just over a gallon of milk at peak, and also has long lactations, a soft pliable udder, great teat placement and size. Dam is a beautifully moonspotted, gorgeous doe who passed some of that moonspotting on to Mack. This little guy will have lots to offer for his own herd of ladies!

Next up is Three Hollows Ramona Quimby, a gorgeous blue eyed grade doe, grand daughter to Tall Pine Acres Lil Rusty Bucket, our trifecta buck (blue eyed, moonspotted and polled!) Mona has been a delight to have and raise. Sweet disposition, and gorgeous to boot. Nice FF udder, smooth fore udder and nice teat placement. She blessed us with 2 stunning bucks, of which we will be retaining one.
First pictured is Taconic Mtn Jacob, blue eyed, flashy, and gorgeous. We have high hopes for this buck to be just as amazing as his sire!
Buckling 2 is Taconic Mtn Jonah, blue eyed, gorgeous, gorgeous boy! In fact, I'll be struggling to not retain both! Dam is pictured last.
If you have any interest in a mini nubian buckling from fantastic lines, reach out!

These two gorgeous gals are doelings from Jesta Farms Hannah of Hampton and sired by Hops N Lops Out of the Ashes.
The one in front is Taconic Mtn Roanan's Blush (pending and sold), and the one in back , Taconic Mtn Raven's Brew (also pending) is being retained.
So far I am loving the length Cody (sire's barn name) is throwing on his kids, and the nice top lines 👌 👏 Excited to see how they grow!

It's been a long week, so glad kidding season is done for the year. We had 2 sets of triplets and 2 sets of twins. Total 5 bucks and 5 does. Pictured is Toffee minutes after giving birth to her buck doe twins.

9 days fresh, mini nubian Poppy, evening milking. Not bad for just getting over an illness! While she isn't putting it in the pail like her sister, it's certainly commendable! (Half gallon jar. Yes, I have huge hands 😅)

I'm so excited! Poppy has been "off" for almost a week. She had a couple things going on. 1. She had just kidded a week ...

I'm so excited! Poppy has been "off" for almost a week. She had a couple things going on. 1. She had just kidded a week ago, which left her compromised. 2. She got pneumonia from this crazy weather. 3. She got a touch of frostbite on her teat tip, so we are dealing with that.

Tonight, she ate her grain AND jumped on the gate again!! For those of you that know goats, I'm sure you know how great this made me feel. I was able to keep her rumen functioning and keep her milk flowing without her getting ketosis or going down! If you know goats, you know how touchy that can be. It took dark beer and karo drenches, bcomplex shots, extra BOSS, probiotics, antibiotics and painkiller with anti inflammatory properties. So happy my vet was willing to supply banamine and I was able to procure some Peng from TSC. Also so happy I made the right decision on course of action to take. Sometimes we win! 💪 This is one farmer doing a happy dance tonight 🥳

Tall Pine Acres Lil Rusty Bucket is a handsome boy, wouldn't you say?

These Jesta Farms girls are so awesome, Thanks @ Sue Veilleux ! I am extremely excited to see them freshen between this year and next.

This year is Jesta Farms Hannah of Hampton and Jesta Farms Saltwater Toffee. Both are bred to Hops N Lops Out of the Ashes (a buck from Lakeshore Midsummer Nights Dream).
This fall will be 4 more Jesta Farms girls. Stay tuned!
