These beauties are trucking right along. I am so incredibly proud of each and every one of them. 🙌

💔 Sadly I’ve decided to rehome a large chunk of my herd, so this is the last time some of these girls will show up on test. So grateful for the homes I’ve been able to move them to - their new owners are excited for the genetics and sweetness of their new babies. Frankly my heart is a bit broken, but hopefully this will help limit my overwhelm and give me more time with the goats I do have, and with my human family 💜

📣 ONE kid for BeauNana, and sadly he was DOA 💔

On April 11, 2026 my husband Dragoș asked me to come home from work at my parents’ farm store to assist with this delivery. “Nana” had been laboring since the day before, and as Dragoș was doing some work in the goat yard, she finally got serious. Unfortunately she had a bit of blood coming out and she was pushing hard, unsuccessfully. When he called me, I decided to jump in the car and make the 15/20min drive.

Upon arrival, Nana had made little progress. She was up and down with a series of hard pushing but no cigar, as they say. I monitored for a few minutes to get a read on the situation, and decided it was definitely time to glove up, l**e up, and feel around. I didn’t have to go far - there was a tail 😵‍💫 so I knew I was dealing with a breech baby.

Nana is a wide doe, though just a yearling, but this baby was stuck tight. Unfortunately with a breech delivery there is nothing to hang onto, so very, very slowly I inched the baby out by the hips. It was NOT easy and poor Nana was not enjoying this in the least bit, but she hung in there like the good little girl she is.

Finally got the kid out, and it had been dead a day or two already, sadly 💔 BUT Nana did great. She is totally a trooper! No issue with recovery.

Because she had a DOA single, she didn’t really come into much milk. She is producing some, and is being milked mostly for the practice. Her milk stand manners are impeccable - she is super patient - and she is easy to milk! Although she does holler a bit while waiting her turn 😅

We look forward to trying again next year with this super promising doe!

is out of the stunning GCH Primrose Hill U Rain-Beau 6*M, 7*D AR and sired by *B Wolfivan Broken Halos.

📣 TWIN BUCKS for Sky (First Freshener)

Our daughter Violeta’s special little goat:

⭐️Popa Farm K Sky Blue⭐️

delivered flashy twin bucklings late afternoon. We have big hopes for this pretty doe… her dam is one of our favorites - Primrose Hill CB Thistle 5*M AR - and her sire is none other than +*B CUAtLilRedBarn Kiegh VG88. Sky has nice capacity for a gangly yearling!

Sire to Sky’s bucks is:

⭐️*B Wings & Caprines Almanzo⭐️

and both of them were sold as pets 💜

📣 TRIPLETS for Havarti - but we missed it 🤣 Oops! (Back to Catching Up!)

When our kitchen light turns on in the morning, before dark, the goats start hollering for breakfast (you’re welcome, neighbors!). I had the baby monitor on overnight, but turned it off so the goats didn’t wake the kids. I had every intention of going directly out to the barn, but I am easily distracted and it took us almost an hour to get out there with the milking equipment. We knew Havarti was in labor, but when I had looked at the monitor, she was acting perfectly normal.

When we came out to the barn… WHOOPS! Triplets 🥰 Just like her Mama Euphoria used to do… no complaints here!

First thing after the sun came up on April 7, 2026 our sweet 5 year old doe:

⭐️CrookedCedar Farm RY Havarti 2*M AR⭐️

had an unassisted delivery of two bucks and a doe! Havarti is a beautiful doe, really coming into her own at 5 years old. She comes from slow-maturing lines, so it’s been exciting to watch her unfold. She is a smaller goat but has incredible capacity! The sire of these kids is none other than:

⭐️*B Wings & Caprines Almanzo⭐️

son of the stunning SGCH Wings & Caprines IR Red Hot 2*M EX91 and India Blue 22K’s Gold-N-Boy. Simply put, Almanzo’s pedigree is filled to the brim with gorgeous animals including several National Champions. It’s an honor to have this Stud Muffin on our farm & producing beautiful kids.

I’m really proud of these girls. They have been patient while we tweaked our feed/minerals over the past few years and it’s REALLY paying off! Iris still killin’ it at 10 years old, Thistle hanging in at 6 pounds as a 2F, Delphinium sitting right under 6 pounds at 76 days in milk… wow! And so many girls still doing over 5 and over 4 pounds a day.

I’m expecting these numbers to taper off a bit as they get further along in their lactations and as the weather becomes uncomfortably hot. Let’s see! I’m incredibly grateful for these hard working goats 💜

‼️We do have several doelings and a few does looking for new barns‼️

📣 TRIPLETS for Honeydew

On March 31, 2026 our children’s goat:

⭐️Popa Farm PHL Honeydew 3*M AR⭐️

had a textbook kidding, delivering two bucks and a doe right after 12noon. We are loving this doe - she kidded last year as a 13 month old and earned her milk star on her first lactation. This year she has much more capacity and we’re really excited to see what she can do. She comes from a slow-maturing dam line, so we expect her to keep getting better and better! The sire of the kids is:

⭐️*B Wings & Caprines Almanzo⭐️

who is such a hottie with a body, really coming into his own now as a 3 year old. This guy’s pedigree is looooaded and we are loving his daughters so far.

The doe kid is available 🎉

🙏 Thank you Ritzy Mama for a great lactation! 🥛🙌

Our girl Ritz completed her 5th lactation right after our March 17, 2026 milk test. What a girl!

⭐️ One Fine Acre Putn On The Ritz *M AR ⭐️

Ritz’s 5th lactation totals:
1110 lb Milk
79 lb Butterfat
50 lb Protein
345 DIM

She would have kept going, but with 19 currently in milk, I figured I’d give her a break. She will be bred to kid in Fall, and I’m hoping she’ll give me a pretty little keeper doe!

Ritz is not a goat with a huge peak: she peaked at a very respectable 4.6 pounds on her fourth test. What I love most about her is her CONSISTENCY. Look at these milk numbers on the 11 tests during her lactation:

4.0
3.8
4.3
4.6
3.1
3.5
3.2
3.2
3.4
3.1
2.7

She is steady! No big peak and no big drop. Just a perfectly reliable producer, with a gentle willingness to please, excellent manners on the milk stand, and the goofiest smile 🥰 Thank you Ritz for all your hard work this year 💜
