A Visit to Diji Farm

Halle Berry was born at Diji Farm. It is a wonderful farm just about 20 minutes from us. Carol is the owner/breeder/Nigerian Dwarf goat aficionado.

We arrived smack in the middle of kidding. They have quite a large barn and have kidding stalls for the goats. Probably seven stalls with either a doe and her new babies or a doe that will be kidding soon.

Here is one stall with two does and their babies.

This is one of Halle Berry’s daughters and I believe this was her first freshening.

Babies, lots of babies.

These babies were born last night and are only one pound each. They are in the house on a heating pad and are being bottle fed. Those are socks they are wearing to keep warm. They are getting stronger and look like they will make it.

This is the mamma and siblings of the two little ones above.

Here is a doe that is due any day. She is convinced that the best hay is in the middle.

I wanted to visit Diji Farm not only to meet Carol but to ask her about Halle. Sure enough she said that you really won’t know that Halle is pregnant until she lies down and a kid pops out. Historically she has one kid and it is always a girl. Oh, and apparently she is very loud when kidding. Screams in anticipation of a contraction. Screams during contractions. Oh well, we all handle pain differently.

Here is Prenup. My friend Bryn brought him back to Diji Farm. She is downsizing her herd. He also originated from Diji. Handsome guy.

He fit right in with Carol’s 13 other bucks.

Wonderful lady, wonderful farm, and wonderful goats.

Enjoy the day,
Karen
