When you make a quick trip to Universal Studios with your 10 year old, and bring home a birthday goat for yourself!
We are pleased to welcome Erinwood's Fiddle to her new home. There is a story behind this one, and I am so happy to have her here. She is the littermate sister to Erinwood's Marin, who I got as a birthday goat in 2021 at just a few days old. Marin was one of my top 3 faves here. She had a great personality--quirky, funny, sweet, playful (would intentionally play with the Pyrenees, and despite me trying to break that, they were besties and we loved to watch them both get the zoomies together almost every morning). Plus, she was beautiful. I lost her in 2023 at 20 days prior to her due date, after an accident on the milk stand while I had her up for her CDT, Bo-Se and a quick hoof trim. She slipped and fell, and I observed her and thought she was okay, but the next day, she was not. I was devastated, and very heart broken, especially because I blamed myself. I reached out to Jennifer Dachton to let her know my awful news, and let her know that I would love something from her with a similar breedinf, or if she ever decided to move Fiddle, that I would love to be considered. Fiddle did well at Nationals that year
Well, fast forward to very recently, Jenn reached out to see if I was possibly still interested in Fiddle. Thanks to Korinne, for temporarily housing her until I could get to Florida, we made the pieces work, and Fiddle made her way home to Thistlewood Acres. I feel honored that Jenn reached out, and she is already very well loved here. She has already impressed all 4 of our children, as they take turns walking with her, helping milk her, and making her comfortable here. I've let her spend time not in with Malina, but she might just have the 'dog pal' gene that Marin had. She will go out of her way to watch Malina. So funny!
We are a small, family farm located in Sharpsburg, GA
