Acorn and Apple

The end of winter is drawing near and soon the warm coats will shed. I am going to try to save as much of the hair as I can. Last spring, their coats had burrs and berry stains; this season I did my best to keep them as clean as possible. I am hoping to find someone who will want to use it.

Time to trim hooves. I am dreading that. I don't relish the idea of messing with strong, horned goats who think they are the boss of all that is around them. This job will take at least two strong adults.

Yankee (Doodle Dandee)

A Year and a Half in Brief

Things have really changed since 2009. We no longer have Turnip. He succumbed to urinary calculi. It was a very sad time for us. He was the sweetest and most friendly of the three goats.

We have an addition to our "herd". Yankee, who is actually the son of our goat Juniper. Juniper went to live on a farm to join 4-H; as did Ginger, Clover, and Juniper's sister, Tulip.

Yankee is a sweet Nubian wether who gets bossed around in a big way by the two Nigerian dwarf goats.
