Spent some time with Muriel and the babies today. After almost an hour trying to get decent individual pictures, I gave up and took a short video. They’re growing like weeds and have the silkiest hair already. 🩷💙

I am totally smitten with these Muriel x Kelvin babies! Little boy was disbudded this am and acted like he barely noticed. These are some stout and hairy littles! Really getting their legs under them now.

With all my horseback riding, goat shows & travel this year, I haven’t posted much to the farm page or website. So - get ready for some serious catch-up over the next few weeks.

We just finished a winter health round on the doe herd - toes, debugged, brush-out on the silkies and worming/copper bolus as needed. Everyone is healthy and happy.

We have made a significant cut-back to both our Myo and Mini Silky herds, redefining our mission and refining our genetics to better match it. More details to come, including breedings!

In the meantime, here’s a few photos I took today of several of the girls. 🩷

Muriel is an anxious & protective first-time mama so it was impossible to get many pics of the babies today. I did get some snuggle time so grabbed a couple shots. They are both almost solid chocolate! The boy has about 5 white hairs on his forehead. The girl has a white tip on her tail. At least I’ll be able to tell them apart!! They are so soft and hairy and have the nicest heads and earsets. 💙🩷

This girl! Amarys, aka “Pigpen” or “Piggy”. She walks around looking like a total mess, always with hay, straw & other debris everywhere in her hair - head to toe She just had her spa day - toes, brushout, topical to avoid bugs, assessment for worming - and within an hour she looked like her nickname again! 🤣🤣

This crazy cat isn’t happy unless he’s helping me with chores. He loves riding in and on the machine to help me feed and patrol for gophers.

It’s always something on the farm. Something that ruins your plans for the day and sometimes an entire weekend. Last weekend Bob and I spent two partial days and HOURS on a broken auto-waterer heater. Top priority since it was below freezing! Turns out that it was the thermal regulator-which we learned only after rush ordering and installing a new heat pad, taking down and puttint backnup the fencing twice.

Today it was a heavy overnight wind that tried to blow off the metal chicken coop roof! Ugh. Bob was gone, so with more winds expected I had to pull out the ladder and roofing screws and fix it myself. But…I GOT IT DONE!!

Now to see what tomorrow brings. 😳

Patsy and Dwight “helping” the LGD’s. This is what they do pretty much every day. All day. Waylon & Mayzie don’t seem to mind.

Thanks to PV-TEC for inviting me to present to two Veterinary Tech classes this week! Of course the topic was Goats!! So much fun and the students were so interactive. While I raise Mini Myotonics and Mini Silky Fainters, we discuss most other breeds, goat uses/functions, diseases & testing, herd management, predators and protection strategies, etc. Often the 2 hours is not enough to get through it all!!

My Goat Embassadors for the week were Polly Pocket, Amarys and little Tiramisu. They were angels. 🩷 I didn’t get pics of the sessions since I was busy presenting, but will add some if they send them.

Today is PUMPKIN DAY!! I went and picked a truckload of pumpkins out of the field for the animals! Here are some pics of the goats enjoying them! Thanks to Wendy Swore of Swore Farms!

Dwight caught a mouse yesterday! I was starting to wonder if he was just gonna freeload his life away! He was so proud of himself. He played with it for HOURS. 🤣🤣
