The Dangers of Goats With Horns!

We just heard this on the radio today as we were coming back from helping a friend vaccinate calves.  I always knew horns were dangerous to the goats themselves having experienced them getting caught in fencing and feeders but this is the first I have heard of a human fatality.

Want a Kitten?


Tiny's kittens will be 5 weeks old this weekend so will be ready to go in a few more weeks.  They are beautiful  kittens and have their mother's friendly disposition.  Mom is a very good mouser too!  Free to good homes only.

The Best Butter!



We had lots of extra milk after milking our Jersey cow Daisy this morning so Drake and I decided to make some homemade butter to put on our cardamom bread.  Added a little sea salt and it was just so yummy!

Farm Visitors

We really enjoy it when people (kids especially) come to visit our farm and socialize with us and our assortment of critters.

Summer Babies








It was a good thing I had my helper Drake here this past week!  Domino kidded with triplets bucks sired by Percy and our Jersey heifer Daisy calved with a beautiful little heifer sired by our Limousin bull.  Tessa has named her Georgia.  Isn't she a beauty?  Oh, and don't let me forget ... our cat Tiny had quads!  These will be the last kids and calves born this year.

Graduation Day


Eric, my youngest stepson, just graduated from high school on May 28th.  We were very thankful his older brother Matt was able to be home on leave from duty in Iraq for a couple of weeks.  Pictured above from left to right are Matt and Eric's mom Gina, Eric, Matt, and Joe.
