So the windy and stormy season is upon us! So far we have only one down branch that the goats are thoroughly enjoying. My clean-up crew is very efficient! This breeding season has started already even though we have not officially finished with kidding season for this one yet. Our older girl, Dutchess, is pregnant and due mid-December. We are hoping for an easy and successful kidding. Then she will go on DHI milk test but unforunately will probably not be able to earn her milk star due to her age. I have a special affinity to Miss Dutchess being an older mom myself. Regardless, she will be put on milk test for my own knowledge and growth as a goat dairy farmer. We have a lot of exciting projects coming this next year. Most notably, I will be starting my own goat milk soap line and hopefully selling it here soon.
We will also be participating in linear appraisal this year with the ADGA. We will be heading over to my good friend, Carol's farm who will be hosting. Hopefully we will come home with some good marks and learn a lot from it. Everyday is a learning experience on our farm and we feel fortunate to be able to have it. Stay dry and warm this season. Best wishes!
