Black Beauty's Burrow We are a farm based in Russellville, AR area. Our main focus is rabbits: Silvers & English Angoras. Our main duck breed is Muscovy.

We also focus on goats: Nigerian Dwarf and a variety of other diary breeds. We have a variety of other species as well.

They have arrived!
1 buck, 1 doe. 1 appears polled but I'll know more later on. I also don't know moonspots yet.
They have already had their first replacement feeding and the doeling took it like a champ! The buck is working on it 🙈.

Likely these are their names (pending official decision on paperwork)
Buck - clean black/white - "Lucky Pickens True Love". He has a heart on his back 🙈
Doe: scattered black/white - "Lucky Pickens Stars Align" or " Lucky Pickens When Stars Align"
Lucky Pickens SM Destiny Moon x Lucky Pickens RM Tickle Tickle

Both of these are being retained for time being.

It's very peaceful to lay out with the white saanens.
But someone should have told me I bought a land shark and a alpaca 🙈.
My 3 that just came out of quarintine took some time and rubbed fences. So instead of white, they are gray 🤣. But, a bit of time on the mineral buffet will fix that.
What's crazier is the fact that Eleanor came to us so far underweight yet we've not wormed her yet and she's put so much back on!
We are waiting on more Herbal wormer to come in the mail and then we will do a chemical/herbal wormer cycle on the girls. The boys and babies are already done. We just ran out of Herbals because I miscalculated 🙈 .
But the eyes I've checked so far show the white saanens to be very parasite resistant. That is part of why I got more after the first one (Leai) won my heart.

Well, it took a while but the 3 new white saanens finally got their results back!!
Negative for CAE and Johnes. We don't blood test for CL.
So now they get to spend the night exploring the herd and pasture (and picking fights with Eleanor 🙈)
Here's Flopsy (barn name). She is 10 yrs old and we are waiting on her papers to see if she is a AM or a RG.
They also aren't pregnant 🤷‍♀️. That's why we were waiting on papers. But since I don't have to worry about breeding memos, that simplifies things quite a bit.

The countdown has begun. I don't think she will have them today but we are getting close and I would rather do a little extra cleaning on our pen over her having them in the mud.

I've got someone checking on her at lunch since I'll need to give them colostrum (I prefer replacer start to finish for peace of mind regardless of testing results)

🤞 for a healthy kidding

Our last kidding of the season is officially approaching. We are around 2 weeks out.
Close Enuff Vera Wang was bred to an external buck. But her kids will carry our farm name. She was accidently exposed to 2 bucks about 5 days apart so until they are born or until I run DNA tests, I won't know which buck.

I'm so ready to be done this year. With having 2 does so far after the rest, it's made it difficult and I've had to switch my kidding stalls to a stall in my rabbit barn.
But we're almost there!

And in a few months, we restart the breedings 🤦‍♀️. But, at least we will finally get to do a complete deworming of the herd since all of our pregnancy tests on the saanens and the newer ND came back negative!

Perks of this pairing: Blue eyes, extensive white, possibly polled (depends on buck)

Happy Birthday Black Beauty!!
12 yrs old. What a feat.
You may have started showing your age this last year but I think we've still got a few more years left! 🤞 for good years.
In a couple of months, we will celebrate your gotcha day. If someone would have told me 12 years ago that my first rabbit would see me through not only all of Middle School, or High School, but College too, I would have called them crazy. But here we are. Graduation at the end of the year (orginally was supposed to be May 2025 but I decided to take extra classes), and you're still here. You changed my life in many more ways than one and you are still my everything.
You may have to have meloxicam (anti inflammatory and pain med) more often now due to arthritis, but I think you've definitely earned it. Hopefully your eye drops completely heal your current coronary ulcer (right eye) 🤞.

Here's to another good year of minimal health issues.

Officially under 2 weeks out for our 2nd registered goat litter of the year.
We're almost done yall! (pending some pregnancy tests on newish additions. Could be up to 5 more 🤦‍♀️)
This little girl is Lucky Pickens SM Destiny Moon. She was bred to Lucky Pickens RM Tickle Tickle.
These babies will not be carrying my herd name as I purchased her bred.
Hoping for moonspots, blue eyes, and possibly extensive white! They also have a chance at being polled.
Also hoping Destiny's udder looks as nice as it did when she was drying up 🤞.

All kids will be pulled at birth and fed replacer per our policy on our registered kids. Even though we test, this gives us a peace of mind.

🤞 for some females 🙈

Introduction #2!
We are doing these from youngest to oldest.
Meet Drag'N Dairy Goats Ohana. Aka 'Puppy'.
This is our 100% PB Nubian Buckling.
DOB: 4-2-2025
This boy is my everything.
We are waiting for his papers to come back from ADGA. They are sitting in the office with 5 others.
Once all our paperwork is caught up, we will be sending off DNA testing.

We got a weight on our Mozerella, finally 🙈.

On the weekends, we take all the extra milk out of our fridge except any that has been prearranged to be sold/delivered.
In other words, if you want milk, let us know before the weekend or be willing to wait a few days 🙈.
We then pasturize it and get it ready to make cheese.
This week, that was 4 gallons of milk. This only leaves a gallon, which is technically pending Pickup, and about a half gallon for personal/family use.

We made almost 4 lbs of mozerella with our 4 gallons of Goat milk!
We do plan on making other cheeses but currently only have cultures for Chevre and didn't need anymore of that right now.

I think it is high time for some introductions.
These 2 were from a breeding we announced but we never announced their birth 🙈.
DOB: 5-3-2025
Dam: Viney Creek Is Golden Sky Indi
Sire: Content Valley Vance
These are our first registered goats that carry our herd name! And they can be registered in ADGA and/or AGS!
Meet BB's Burrow Ghost and BB's Burrow Dracula!
Ghost is the cream/white guy.
Dracula is the black/white guy.

Ghost will be staying here. He was first born and he is our greatly desired white color.
Dracula can stay or go.
They are both on bottles. Both have been disbudded.

You have to excuse their less than ideal poses. Bottle babies never get far enough away from me for good pictures so they have to learn the leash 🤦‍♀️

How many saanens can we fit in a car?
I don't know but it was a minimum of 3!

I think it is safe to say we have been bit by the saanen bug 🙈.
These big girls may be old (8, 9, & 10) but they are THICK.

Well, when it's raining, make cheese 🙈.
I had to make more mozerella because I have already almost finished off what I made yesterday's.

So this is 3 gallons worth of Goat milk. I meant to get weights on the cheeses but forgot to measure the bowls before I filled them. I'll get it one of these days.

2 gallons worth of Mozeralla.
1 gallon worth of Chevre.

Cherve is a cheese that has a flavor similar to a mix of cottage cheese, sour cream, and cream cheese.

I would have made more but I'm down to a gallon of milk in the fridge 🙈.
We dumped a lot (5 gallons or more) due to some personal issues. Then, that same day, I decided to go ahead make cheese I'm regretting that decision now. Luckily my birds are making great use of the mix of milk, whey, corn, and eggs. Should be great for them!

I think I need more milk goats 🙈. Cindy is drying up and will be dried up completely once Destiny freshens in 3 ish weeks. She's been going since January!
Then Vera is due to freshen 9 days after.
So I'll have a bunch more milk, in theory!

We decided this year that all future kids will recieve colostrum replacer and milk replacer to prevent any possible diseases. While we test our herd, we prefer this due to the peace of mind it offers.
