Scale

very exciting, we are really starting to get some of the things we will need to have for the goats.
Today we bought a walk-on scale. (who would ever think I would be excited about buying a scale.) We have already bought our microscope, hoof trimmers, some pails, suringes and needles, gloves, etc...
We bought a special "blue" pail for our granddaughter, Adriana- 6yrs old ( blue is her favorite color), because she can't wait to help with the goats, so that will be her pail to use when she feeds the goats!!!

In case you don't know what "JADA" stands for, it is our initials John Alfano Dawn Alfano......Well Adriana has another idea, SHE says what it really stands for is: John, Adriana, Dawn Alfano. She says she works when she is here to help us and so her name should be in it too!!! Kids (two legged ones) gotta love 'em!!!!

Well can't wait for the scale to arrive, will be watching for the UPS truck!!! :)

Barn

We are about 100 days away from starting our barn. It really all depends on how the winter goes. We have everything lined up, so it's all up to mother nature. As much as I like the snow, I am hoping for a short winter!!!!!

Winter 2010


It is the middle of the winter and we have had a decent amount of snow so far. This past month has been very cold here in the Catskill Mtns in upstate N.Y. We seem to have had a little bit of a warming trend the past couple of days, temps. reached 32 degrees!

We are on a countdown for Spring, this is when we will start to build our Barn. So for now we are getting everything lined up and ready for that to happen.

We will need lots of supplies to fill the barn along with the GOATS of course!!!!!

We are very excited for all of this to happen!!!!

If you have any Ideas or comments on something that you found to really work for you, please post it, we are always willing to learn something new!
