Once again, much has happened since our last post. My excuse this time will have to be that I am finally feeling human again after suffering from walking pnuemonia for nearly two whole weeks (several of the little boys also suffered, but mine was the most severe. bleh!)
Anyhow, during the last few weeks we have had two new baby boys, mini-nubians, born to Sugar. We have decided to leave them with their mother and they are quite adorable.
We also had linear appraisals done on our goats, and they all did pretty well. I don’t know any exact numbers, but I think Andrina got the highest score and Sam scored highest for the Alpines.
In other news, we have been selling soap at the local farmer’s market and really enjoying it (not to mention selling a fair amount).
On another note, (and this has absolutely nothing to do with goats) a few of us went to see Prince Caspian yesterday and really enjoyed it. I especially liked the themes of faith and trust which were illustrated in it, though I didn’t really like the Caspian/Susan romance. The trees were pretty neat there at the end though.
Finally, we got our new memory verse for the month at church this morning. It is 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.” Therefore, go out and eat things that are healthy for you body. Like Goat Milk!
That ends my ramblings for the day. For some reason pictures aren’t currently loading to the blog. I’m not really sure why that is, but will try to figure it out.
I hope everyone has a lovely Sunday worshiping our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!
More Babies!

We have more babies!
At 4:45 this morning, Rainy, one of our lovely Alpines, presented us with beautiful twin doelings! Unfortunately, our home computer has crashed, so these lovely little girls are not yet on our website and won’t make it there until I have a computer which I can download our website building software to. In the meantime, enjoy the pictures here! Here are some more pics we took today of various goats, kids, etc. around the farmette:
New Goats!
March 2, 2008
We have two new goats! Lady and Sugar are mini-nubian sisters we bought from a lady up in Claremore, OK on Saturday. The both have blue eyes and are, as you can see, brightly colored. We look forward to using these girls to develop our mini-nubiand herd!
