Due to a series of delays, distractions, poor timing, etc, it didnt seem like we were ever going to get any babies this year. But, finally, we were able to get a couple of the goats bred, and our wonderful doe Blue had some babies the other day. Better yet, they were both girls! This […]
Hangin’ out in the pasture
Not much to say other than I got some pictures of the goats the other day in between some rain showers. This time of year those sunbreaks are few and far between, and luckily the goats were all outside during one of the them. In the background you can see the water in the lower […]
Brand new baby goats
Spitfire, had her first babies the other day. We call her a first freshener, the first time a doe has given birth (kidded). She gave birth to three little ones, a very large buckling, and two doelings. One of the doelings was very small and we had to keep a very close eye on her […]
Baby Goat Videos
Go ahead, waste a few minutes and watch a couple videos of some baby goats just being silly. Sorry for the little bucklings being, well, like little bucklings. Some of them start trying to “mate” in the first couple days, and at three weeks they are clearly trying to figure it out. Silly boys! All […]
Baby Goats on the farm
Yes, it has finally happened, there are little bundles of baby goat joy here on the farm! The moms were huge, I referred to them as double-wides, and they were truly in need of an escort vehicle anytime they waddled around the barn. According to our breeding records they could have started kidding anytime this […]
Goats are so cute
Not much to say, other than share a brief video of our goofy goats. That’s Spitfire scratching her belly. She is such a good girl, one of our favorites. Who am I kidding, they’re all our favorites! Til next time, Michael

Does it Feel Like Spring?
No, really. Does it feel like Spring where you are? It doesn’t from where I sit. In case you haven’t heard, this has been a bad Fall and Winter for Oregon. So much so, I’ve entertained the thought of moving back to southern California. Let’s start off with October. McMinnville and Salem both set records […]
Climbing on Mom
Just some fun pictures of Brown Sugar’s now one-week old buckling. He has certainly found his legs. All done. I’m so cute, I can get away with anything. It’s a good thing a mother’s love is so strong and they are so lightweight at this age. Hope this put a smile on your face, Karen
And Then There Are Eight
From two babies to eight. Here is how it happened. Wednesday was a busy day for our family. We all had appointments and thus were gone from late morning until mid-afternoon. We knew we had four goats with expected due dates this week so we checked on them before we left home. We have been […]
Upgrades in the Barn
Michael took some time off during the Christmas Season. Did he rest and relax? Nope. He made some wonderful upgrades to the barn. He is such a type A. Usually I’m a type A as well, but having to deal with a lengthy recovery from surgery my type A has been forced to rest. Thank goodness […]
