This is our miscellaneous photo gallery of our goats and other critters and our farm!
How do you warm baby goats born on a frosty winter's morn? You put them in your coat and snuggle them! This pair of doelings chose a very cold and stormy morning to enter the world. Somehow, the first born made her way ourtside the barn where Susan found her curled up in a ball. We named her FrostY Morning. We're not sure how mom Destiny got out of her pen to either kid outside or close to the door, but she made it back into her warm pen in time to give birth to the second doeling, Stormy Sunrise. Both doelings are doing well! Their parents are Sugarfield Destiny and ACR Lightning. Talk about tough babies!
Group photo of some of our girls. The tall one is 75% Boer, 25% La Mancha, the white one is a Genemaster and the one in front is a fullblooded Boer.
This is our first Boer buck, Patdale The Inventor.
We hate it when it is time for the boys to have a change of employment! We miss this gentle giant but are happy he is doing well and is happy in his new job.
Aussie. What can we say. He's gorgeous and such a good boy. He is proof God never forgets our dreams even when we have given up on them. Susan was born a horse nut and her favourite breeds were Paints and the Belgian Draft horse. She long ago gave up on the dream of ever owning a horse, but God didn't. He found Susan a Belgian/paint cross. How perfect is that! At 36 yrs old, Susan started to ride for the first time. Aussie was a green 3 yr old and Susan was a not so green 36 yr old. They learned together and successfully competed Hunter Jumper where Aussie often saved Susan's butt! He became a point and jump horse who only needed to be told which jump was next! They also competed in Dressage. What a sight! The big fuzzy draft horse who sometimes sported a mustache! Lol despite that, he always came home with plenty of ribbons!
Gabe loves all our animals. He and our Minature Pot Belly Pig, Beans, are great friends.
