Bad Cat, the kitten formerly known as Bremmer, waiting to attack any human or 4 legged creature that dares to walk by her new, super sneaky hiding spot. 🤦🏼‍♀️😁

Silkies!

These are high quality birds that will be an asset to any breeding program. No disqualifications. Good wings, feet, cushion, etc..

Selling in trios ONLY. I will not split them up.

NPIP. Our 2023 testing is on 11/6. They can leave after that.

Please note, they have been outside, and are molting, so they’re a mess right now.

Photos are old! Updated photos to come. Buffs & black were only 3 months old in the photo.

The puppy’s favorite game? Poke the bear. Or more appropriately, lick the bear. 👅🐻🤣

Ricotta for lasagna next week— it’s a wonderful use for whey!

Cream cheese for pie—first attempt, I used MM100 starter. Buttermilk starter should be here this week, I’m curious to see if the taste difference will be noticeable.

Pretty accurate description of our house this morning. 🤦🏼‍♀️ 🤢 The designers of these things must not have pets—or they’d make them come apart like legos, and dishwasher safe!

Suspected it was Kir (aka Trouble) who opened the gate for the all night raves of late. I bet her party trick is tying cherry stems into knots with her tongue. 🍒👅

Fernie is turning out to be a mini-me of her dam, CA BlackBerry’s WP Katmai. Long, level, and wide. She could use more neck, but it occurs to me, looking at her from the side—there could be a little more neck hiding under all that padding. 😆 6 months old, almost 80 pounds.

It was a lovely day to take the little girls on a walk. They couldn’t get enough of the potato chips (dried leaves lol)!

I do believe this is what some might consider “over conditioned”. Here, we like to think of it as more to love.🥰 Never thought we’d have “fat” Nubians, but look at us overachieving LOL.

One lone goat who never makes a sound, outside in the dark, calling out for the boys all (seriously, ALL) night long. I finally paid Miss Barbie a visit at 3am to explain how proper, good girls should behave. Well, that lasted a hot 5 minutes.🤦🏼‍♀️

Happy fall, y’all! 🍂🐐🎃

Goshen, NH. PM to setup a pickup time.

We are swimming in goat milk! Raw milk from our Nubian girls. No goaty flavor, high butterfat, very creamy.

$12 - 5L bag. Our easy pour milk bags are freezable.

Big day on the farm— Dr. Lauren from
Henniker Vetrinary Clinic examined our
17 goats, and vaccinated them against rabies. Clean bill of health for all, and perfect Famacha scores. (Yay!) Shots for a little dog, and a couple of cats, too. We’re all exhausted!

Bee, my son’s Boston, came to stay for a few days. (Far right.) He was excellent with the goats and chickens, and with puppy Dixie too. The dogs ran and played all day, everyday. They should sleep for a week!

This is Kir. Kir is our monkey face, earless goat. (Lamancha) Kir doesn’t believe in boundaries, particularly when it comes to food. Kir, jumps out of her pen over and over and over, especially while we’re milking. Kir is the reason the kid pen can’t have any climbing toys or hay feeders—aka launching pads, inside the pens. Kir is also the reason our kid pen fencing is reaching zoo heights. Kir is a very bad goat.

See the Nubian kids in the background? Notice the look of awe on their faces. Jumping out of the pen has never occurred to them. They aren’t quite sure that it’s allowed, or that it’s even a good idea. So, they stay put. Bug, Screech and Fern are very good goats.

How can something so ornery—be so freaking cute?! 🤣 Love that goofy girl.

Exciting day for the milking girls… A fresh batch of 2nd cut alfalfa!

We had a great day at the N. Haverhill NH show today! Fern (4mths), Bug (3mths), Surprise (2yrs), and Sparky (2yrs) had top 5 placings, with Fern and Bug 2nd and 3rd in the last round of judging. Not so bad considering it was only our (and their) 2nd show ever!

Thanks to the judges, the kind young woman who handled our 3rd goat in the 2 year old classes, and the Fox's Pride Dairy Goats family for all of their help and support—especially the kiddos for entertaining 3 dogs and a puppy—who would have been terribly bored, if not for them!

Not so fun coming home to find the goat shed gate unlatched, and all of the new fruit trees on their side and girdled by goats. They also ate my hydrangea, and finished off a tiny bit of shredded beet in the garage while
on their bender. So far all is okay. Hopefully they will be none the worse for the wear come morning.

Beware of this scam…This page tags your page in a post. It shows up for you to review. If you click on the link, it takes you to a redirected page—not a FB page. There they want you to click on another link, probably a phishing scam. (I didn’t go further to investigate)

If you get a ”message” saying your page is restricted—make sure it isn’t just someone tagging you in a post. If it is, block and report them!

For those who don’t have a Vet for goat fecals, there are good mail in options. We do have a Vet, but they weren’t sure a Baermann Test had been run on Lucky’s sample. I decided to try a mail-in lab—I used https://meadowmistlabservice.com/ and was happy with their service. The results matched both mine, and our Vet’s for Lucky. (Not Lucy, but that would be a great goat name! LOL) It’s a great option for those needing to check their herd’s worm counts, but no access to a Vet.

Hantop 6L Milking Machine—Rechargeable. 💲1️⃣2️⃣5️⃣

Used only once, it’s as good as new. Pulsating machine with adjustable suction/speed. The cups should work great for Nigerians or other smaller goats. They worked on our Nubians, but I would’ve liked them to fit closer to the udder.

Shaving goats can be like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’ll get! Mocha hiding under all that black fur, now her body matches her face stripe.

3 1/2 month old keeper doe, Fern. There is a lot to like about this girl—but I think we know who has been winning the race at the milk bucket. 🤣

Goshen, NH

3 year old India Blue Peac**k available.

He and our other IB male fertilized 100% of the eggs our girls laid the past two years. They’re starting to drop their tail feathers, so breeding season is over for the year.

Not mean/aggressive at all, but not sit on your lap tame either. He will occasionally take blueberries from your hand when offered.

Never been housed with chickens. He’s also never been free ranged.

We are rehoming him to make room for other colors to join the flock. Peafowl can be noisy, roam for miles, and be destructive—please do your research beforehand, they may or may not be the right fit for your property.

In only 2 weeks, UltraCruz Show & Wellness has done what BOSS, Replamin, and Zinc couldn’t do in 3 months. The shine in their coat is amazing! UC S&W is pricey, but it seems to be exactly what our girls needed. If only they’d get a job to help out with buying all their extras. 🤣

There is a before/after pic of Skip because she has the most dramatic change, and she hasn’t been shaved down.

Orion (NH Funny Farm BT Orions Ember) is the only buckling we kept from our breedings this year. We couldn’t be more pleased with how he is turning out! Bittersweet day, this was his last walk with the girls. He moved in with the older bucklings tonight. They grow up too fast. 😭
