Today Jake and I brought home two Nubians, who we have named Tulip and Juniper. They are little, little babies, not even two weeks old yet. After we picked them out from about 15 cute babies, the breeder took them to be disbudded, and five minutes later, they were ready to go home with us. After a two-hour drive in the back of the van, we arrived in Seven Valleys. They will be kept separate from the rest of the herd for about a week in case either one of them turns up sick; and first thing on Monday, they will go visit the vet for any shots as needed and just a general check up. My name is Jeanne. For years, I had dreamed of living on a farm in the country and being a dairy goat farmer and cheesemaker. Now that I've moved into a 130-year old home, complete with it's own mill, in the country and rounded up some dairy goats, I plan to chronicle my life learning how to live with nature, with various critters, and all the amenities of rural life on two acres down in the valley. Come take a look-see.
