RETURN TO OFFICE SALE
I have to reduce our herd significantly due to return to office requirements. My commute is 2+ hours/day so I have to part with goats that I would really prefer to keep in the herd. Yearlings, Does and bucks available. Will be adding more this week.

Unfortunately I have to reduce our herd significantly due to return to office requirements. Working from home has been a joy and has allowed much more time to care for the herd. The commute for me …

We didn't get to go to the Bluff Country show this weekend because our truck had transmission issues and we had to turn around and come home. 😭 But there is always work to be done so Clayton spent the evening mowing pastures.

We had a tree blow down last night. The goats were thrilled with their good fortune while Clayton and I spent the morning cutting and moving branches.

We have a few openings for weekly pick up of our fresh premium Nigerian Dwarf goat milk . Our Nigerian milk is so sweet and creamy that many people prefer it over cow’s milk. And if you are a cheese maker, you’ll find the higher protein content of Nigerian milk gives higher cheese yields than other dairy breeds.
$7/ half gallon.

It's raining outside so I'm the kitchen making cajeta (goat milk caramel sauce) today. Yum
