Dairy Goats

Darla with her newborn baby boy. This is one of his first attempts to stand. She is still cleaning him up.

Moses a couple days after he was born. Moses is Tulip's baby boy.

Yesterday was the day when we sold our first two goats. It was exciting and sad. Both Tulips baby Moses and Darla’s baby boy, whom we had not named, were taken away.

They went to their new home together. That made me feel much better. At least they knew one another. The lady and her young son were very nice and I know they are in a good home.

I had been wondering what I was doing wrong, why our goats weren’t selling. I decided it is not a matter of what I am doing wrong, but a matter of reaching the right people. The lady who bought the goats saw the ad on Craigslist. I had not posted there prior to this year.

I still have three goats left for sale, all born last summer, two does and one wether. I would like to see them go as a trio.

Sugar's baby hiding underneath her tummy.

Born on July 28, 2010 to Sugar, this baby goat still needs a name. This has been a crazy summer and naming the goats has not been a top priority. He is up for sale, so that has been another reason why I have not chosen a name for him. Suggestions are welcome!

He is an alpine/nubian/angora cross.
