Christmas Parade

We had been in our quirky, down home, small town, Country Christmas Parade. We had so much fun. We brought three of our Boer goats, Daisy, Dahlia  Dandelion along with us. We had decorated our hay trailer with lights, garland & silver bells. We had also put antlers on the goats, they didn't hold up very well, next year we will have to buy sturdier ones.
The streets were lined with people, probably ten deep. All the floats would throw candy to all those watching, so we let our grandchildren throw the candy, they had a blast. The goats actually were very good, of course we had plenty of grain and all the hay they wanted. Will definitely do it again next year!!!!

Kikos

we got two more new goats, they are kiko. Kiko are another type of meat goat, they are a lot more parasite resistant then boer goats.
Their names are Jaalah, which means "wild goat" and let me tell you, it is the perfect name for her.  Jaalah is all white, and Jazmin which is almost as wild, but is more timid or afraid so she runs from us, and she is mostly light brown with some white.

they are not use to being in a pen, their barn was all open.















they are getting comfortable after
being there all day.















Today was their first day out in our field,
they were just checking everything out

Farm Visitors


We have been having a lot of farm visitors recently. Some are just  showing up  and others  drive by and see the goat out in the field and decide to stop. We welcome visitors so we always tell them to come on up the driveway  and see the goats! Most of the time they have children with them so we let them feed the goats!!! win win situation........ kids enjoy it and so do the goats....
