Grey, brown, and black

 Well it is official...a deposit was made on my pretty Pearl.

 All adult ewes that I can part with this year are spoken for...leaving me with an even dozen adult ewes for breeding season.  I still have some really beautiful lambs for sale: Black and White F2 rams, Fawn Katmoget rams, Mooirt ewes pictured below, and black F2 ewe lambs a few of which are also pictured below.

What has got your goat?

 Whistle and Watson have twin kids that are beautiful, one buck and one doe.  The Saanens are all registered or registrable.

 Lilly is 100% Nubain but has registered parents but has never been registered.  She has been exposed to Watson all spring but I never saw him have any interest in her.  However, there is a possibility she is bred for fall kids.  As you can see her dehorning was not quite successful at a few days old. LILLY IS SOLD!

 Hoping my vet had better luck nipping the kids horns in the bud, literally.  I am afraid I get quite uncomfortable holding them while she does it so will take the blame for Lilly.  This time I tried not to show it as much so maybe she had better luck and didn't stop too soon.

As I explained in a recent comment, and many of you know from the past.  I have always been on the fence about the goats.  I would like only a pair...if any.  I would like Whistle and her doeling to stay or Whistle and Watson to stay, OR I would like them all to go together as a group.  However I have to clear all goat decisions with DH, since all sustainable living animals are "his".  The horses and sheep are "hers".  As someone said to me recently, "but you are the boss of the barn."  Well I like to think so but maybe that is why I don't like goats, they challenge my authority.  :)  If you are interested any or all of my goats, give me a shout!

Flock Starter Packages Available

Over the past few years my flock has grown.  I have keep lambs.  I have gathered sheep from a variety of states and brought in UK genetics with Neville.  I really love the results I got this lambing season.  Now I am faced with an interesting problem.  I like too many and I have too many.  So I am letting sheep go that I never would have imagined I would part with and offering some of the best lambs ever born here for sale.  I simply need to simplify.  I take care of all the critters here pretty much all myself, with the occasional fencing/tractor work or jobs that really require more than one person.  I have a few little helpers that help on occasion but really it comes down to just me.  I actually moved 4 rams the other day by myself.  Not the smartest idea, but they are all good boys.  I just got tired of waiting for help and they really wanted back outside.  As I have said with this many sheep, not having a herding dog is problematic.  I am allergic to most herding dogs.  SO...it is time to downsize.  I have pups still left to sell as well.  A goat about to have her kids.  Spring sports season in full swing.  A garden to think about planting if it ever stops raining.  Working part time.  Would love to get my horses in shape and ride a little more often, maybe even go to a show. And yes don't even get me started talking about how behind on the laundry I have found myself again.  I guess I am just feeling the pressure of it all.  So that is good for you.  I am offering deep discounts on starter flocks if you buy 3 or more sheep. Please check the Sales tab at the top of this page.  Inquire for details and pricing.  Speaking of all that, I better get working.  I will leave with a few photos my sister took while she was visiting.

Lilly is still looking for a new home.  Whistle's kids are due at any moment.

Dairy Goat for sale

I am keeping Lilly.  So Glory is for sale, available at weaning.  She is a total sweetheart but not easy to milk and needs someone more experienced than us to milk her or someone that has a machine set up.  She would also make an excellent brood doe for someone looking to add to their breeding stock.  She singled this year but has had quads in the past and is a good mom.  Great with other goats, sheep, dogs, cats, chickens, and loves attention. CAE and Johnes negative.  Tested twice in the last 6 months with two different testing instruments.   I am asking $200 or best offer.  To a good home only.  She a registered Nubian but I have not recieved her papers from her former owner, but I can pursue it it you are interested.  Inquire for more information.  Glory is returning home to her former owner! :)  Life is good for Glory!
