Fall 2020 Breeding Season Has Started!
Our Fall 2020 breeding season began here on Labor Day in September. We should be expecting kids starting in early February 2021. I will be updating our latest breeding schedule here bery soon. We should be having some very nice kids this next kidding season once again! Please message us if you'd like to be added to our waiting list for babies. Thanks!
Cute Kids!
Some of our 2020 keeper doelings are pictured here. They are growing very well!
Great News!!!!
We just got our biosecurity blood testing results back! As expected, everyone is again NEGATIVE for CAE, CL, and Johne's!
Also, Carmel is indeed pregnant, so our kidding season is not over yet! Babies should hopefully be here soon!

Sold Out! - No More Babies!?
Hello!
At this time we do not have anymore babies available. All babies from this year have already been placed into their new homes, or deposits have been received and they will be heading home very soon. I may have 2 more does that could surprise us with babies sometime this month or next month, but as of right now I cannot confirm. I will be having a pregnancy test done on them again, to see what's going on.
Our kidding season went rather quickly this year, and babies were snatched up pretty much instantaneously, some before I even had the opportunity to advertise them. I wish I had enough babies to be able to provide them to everyone who has inquired, but unfortunately I do not this year.
Moving forward, I believe I will be starting a waiting list for interested buyers, and contact them when babies become available and they are next on the list. I hope this clears everything up for everyone, and makes it a little easier. I appreciate all the interest we've had this year, and hope to be able to offer more babies to everyone next season. If you are interested in being added to our waiting list, please message us!
I can tell you that we will begin breeding again in September, and babies will be due starting in January of 2021. We breed once a year here for early spring babies.
Also, if you are interested, we will be going through our current herd roster and parting with some adult does here very soon. Ages from 1-10. Registered and grade. Most will still be good for breeding, but some will be better suited as pets. Prices will vary depending on the doe and her situation. I will also be offering our Nubian wether up for an amazing pet home if anyone is interested.
When I have decided on who all we will be selling (probably this weekend), I will list them on our Sales page on our website. So check back there soon if you are interested.
If you have anymore questions, please feel free to ask!
Finally, I just want to thank all of you for your interest in our business and our goats, and a huge thank you to our buyers of our 2020 crop of kids!! It was a pleasure talking to and meeting with all of you on pick-up day.
Stay safe everyone!!

Babies Have Arrived!
Kidding season has begun and is in full swing! Please check back often for new babies!
Happy New Year!
We look forward to a very exciting 2020 here on the farm. We are expecting kids to hit the ground any day from our new herd sire, Clark. I have high hopes for them, with his great pedigree being contributed to them. We will be bottle raising kids this year as much as possible to ensure that they are very friendly, as well as begin our milking journey here on the farm. We'll also be offering another registered doeling raffle as babies start arriving! Look for more details on that to come soon. Exciting stuff!
Babies Are Coming!
Great news! 10 of 13 are confirmed bred? We will check the other 3 again next month to see if Clark gets the job done. Babies due starting in January 2020!
Just So Ya' Know!
Our Beloved Trixie
It is a sad day here on the farm, as we've lost a very special girl. Trixie was one of our original goats that we started out with. She was always a sweetheart, and would come running when you called for her by name. She will always have a special place in our hearts, and we are blessed to have been graced with her presence over the years that she lived here with us. She gifted us with many beautiful babies, and became a friend to all of us. We love you Trixie! Take it easy up there, and I hope you are enjoying all the cookies and crackers you could ever want. ❤🐐
That's a Wrap!
We just received the results on our last possibly bred doe for the year, and she is open. So, with that, our 2019 Kidding Season has officially ended!
Here is what we ended with:
57 kids total born from 19 of our Does.
29 Bucklings (25 living)
28 Doelings (20 living)
45 total kids living
12 unfortunate losses, most were still born from larger litters, the runts.
We want to thank everyone who has purchased, inquired, or followed our page over this season, and we hope to see and hear from you again during our 2020 kidding season!
We have a few still available on our Sale Barn page, check them out!

New Purchase "Rules", please read!
I hate to be "Negative Nancy" on a beautiful day like today, but a few 'bad apples' have caused us to change the way we do things around here. Please read our new "rules" below, if you are purchasing goats from us, or plan to in the future.
Baby goats are now starting to become old enough to leave. They are fully weaned, vaccinated, castrated if needed, etc. Ready to go home! I know I have told many that I've spoken with that we are for the most part only available to show/send goats home on Saturdays, and that still holds true. As the babies reach their "Go-Home" age, we expect them to be either picked up the following Saturday when we are available, or for further arrangements to be made and a date set as to when they will be picked up and taken home. WE ARE NOT A BOARDING FACILITY! We expect the babies to be picked up when they are ready to leave. As much as we love these babies, we do not want to feed, house, and care for them for an extra month plus, and then you come and pick them up when it is conveniant for you. Emergent circumstances will suffice for a delayed pick-up, but it is to be expected that you are to come get your goats at a certain time or date that I will now be more clearly disclosing to you at the time of when you place your non-refundable deposit on them. You will have up to a 3 month notice as to when it will be time for the goats to leave. That should be plenty of time to set up arrangements. Also, we will notify you 1 week prior to "Pick-up Day" to remind you. If you cannot come on the specific date I give you (the first Saturday after they are "Ready to Go"), please let me know! But, for every extra day that a goat stays here with us in our care, you will be charged a $5 PER DAY PER GOAT boarding fee until they are picked up. This covers their feed, hay, bedding, housing, medical care if needed, and maintenance of them that we are providing them that we no longer would have to be doing if they were picked up on time.
Also, if we cannot get a hold of you, or a response from you at that 1 week prior notice/reminder of "Pick-Up Day", we will assume that you are coming on the arranged "Pick-Up Day" at a disclosed time. If we do not hear from you, and you are a "No Show", we will give you another 7 days to respond to us. If after 7 days of no response from you, you will have then voided your purchase agreement of buying the goat, and the goat will immediately be put back up for sale. Deposits are non-refundable as I disclosed in the beginning, so they will not be returned. And starting the day after "Pick-Up Day", the $5 PER DAY PER GOAT boarding fee will be applied to any goat left here either during that 7 day "No Show" period for current purchaser (not expected to be paid by new purchaser if we get to that point), or for any other goat that buyer needs more time to pick the goats up, unless as stated before, an emergent circumstance.
For those who are purchasing multiple goats from us, and waiting until the youngest are ready to leave, to bring everyone home at the same time, that is FINE still, if we've already arranged that (you are 'grandfathered' in), but moving forward, we will still offer keeping them here until younger ones can leave with the older ones you've also purchased, but you will be charged the $5 PER DAY PER GOAT boarding fee until they are picked up with the younger goats.
That is all, at this time. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding our new "rules", or regarding goats that you are currently purchasing.
We hope that you all have a beautiful weekend, and that the weather stays nice for everyone!
Thank you!

Tree Trimmings
We cut a tree down on our farm yesterday to use as this year's Christmas tree. We trimmed some of the branches to get it to fit into our living room, and gave the scraps to the goats. They LOVED them!
