Good morning! Announcing the arrival of two doelings! Dam is Henz&Houndz Mary Jane (aka Emmie) X Prodigy Farms Pelle (aka Flash). They are 92.2% New Hampshire line and granddaughters of the famous Felicity! I will keep them here for now. I know, it's blatantly very selfish! They are Bella Vita's Eclissi and Solare (Italian for Solar Eclipse).

Welcome to Spring! I'm loving my small herd. Each one is unique in personality and I am cherishing them. 2 bucks, Flash & Valentino. 1 adorable, sweet wether, Manolo & his dam, Molly. 3 adult New Hampshire line does: Emmie (due in 5 days), Charlotte & Pearl. The twins, Paolo & Perla, and the teenager, Veloce. I'm thankful for each and every one of them, and how they make me happy just watching them.

We've had 3 inches of rain in 3 days and more coming today. I'm so glad the goat pens are not as muddy as they would have been. We have stall mats in the right places and a French drain at a notoriously bad spot in the past. The goats all have their shelters and are mostly staying dry. It's all good, and a Happy Solstice!

Miss Pearl is due to have babies on 12/26. The suspense is building! She is getting wider!
She is the Herd Queen. She is 4 years old and was born here as one of triplets. So far she has had 3 sets of twins and one single.
What will she have this year? She sure is looking big...

Bella Vita’s San Clemente Island Goats

Located on the Central Coast of California, halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, we are a small family farm in a beautiful canyon 6 miles from the Pacific Ocean.

Our San Clemente Island Goats are a critically endangered livestock breed. There are less than 800 in existence. They ran feral on San Clemente Island for a over a century, and they offer rare and unique genes that are an important part of our agriculture heritage. They are small, deer-like, and have kind and gentle dispositions. We are conservation breeders. That means that we are trying to preserve the largest possible amount of variety in the gene pool, rather than breeding for specific traits, which is the opposite of that.

You can read more about them at the Livestock Conservancy website, click here.

They are registered with the International Goat, Sheep & Camel Registry (igscr.com). Our goats are CAE, CL and Johne's free.
