First Pics Of Gracie, Cookie, and Genevieve

The weather is amazing outside right now!!! I'm sure the goats love it! I was looking at my other pictures on my blog trying to figure out which of the goats I hadn't posted pictures of. I found a few...so here they are! Genevieve, Cookie and Gracie. Gracie (first), Cookie (second) and Genevieve (third)

Introductions to A Few Of The Goats

This is Essie who is white with brownish red markings (a doe we bought along with Valorie at an auction) and this is Arthur with his shiny redish brown hair, who was our first boer baby buck born to Cassidy in late February 2009...aren't they adorable?!

These are pictures of a couple of our 2009 summer babies! Cocoa and Brownie...they are cuties!

This is Valorie whom we bought at an auction last summer. She is very sweet and has a daughter who was born in February 2009.

Cassidy

This is Cassidy!!

~Introducing My Goat Farm~

I can't imagine life without my goats! They are all so sweet, loving, and cute! I have 12 goat "babies" on our farm right now...with more on the way! We started out about 4 years ago with just three pygmy goats. My dad had gotten them to keep the grass down in our lagoon (believe me... it works!), but when one of our pygmies became pregnant and had our first baby...that's when life with raising goats really began! We bought them for the lagoon, but then they became our "babies" and they haven't been in the lagoon very much since.:) We have had quite a few babies born since our first. Stardust, Comet, Starlight, Jeffrey, Joey, Skylar, Katrina, Annaliese, Genevieve, Charlotte, and Arthur are all babies our goats have birthed during the past couple years. Stardust and Starlight parted from us due to an aweful dog attack in April 2008. It was a horrific nightmare and my heart still aches for them to this day. On a lighter note, however, early last spring we began a new trend by adding a couple boer goats to our herd. We loved them so much that we bought some more that June! Since then, last month Charlotte and Arthur became our first baby boer goats...and I can't tell you how much we adore them! Both of them are from two different mothers but they are with each other a lot, so most people would think they are twins. Joey and Jeffrey also left us in October due to the fact that they were bucks and we didn't need anymore. They were sold and are hopefully in good homes. My goats mean so much to me...life would not be the same without them. :) :) :)...
