More babies! Nina, Lizzie & Piglet

I have been very busy with no time on the computer really!

On Wednesday, the 14th, The Bowles Nina (a Toggenburg doe) kidded to twins, buckling & doeling. They were sired by a Saanen buck. Unfortunately, the buckling didn't make it, but the doeling is doing great and is one spunky little girl!

Then on Friday, the 16th, Spirit Earth Lizzie (Nubian/Alpine experimental doe) kidded to twin bucklings! Both big and healthy, and hungry! Their sire is PawPawNin Junior Mint, a Mini-Nubian buck, as he was just to get the job done. So no special boys here, unless you'd like a cart wether or an unregistered buck with great milking genetics. One has already gone to his new home.

And last but not least, Good Goats JM Piglet kidded to twin doelings on Saturday, the 17th! BEAUTIFUL twin doelings! Their sire is PawPawNin Quiet Wyatt. One is polled, and both are extremely nice and colorful, great ears too. We are retaining the polled one and the other one is most likely already spoken for.

I'm hoping to update the website soon with pictures and all... but been really busy! OK, have a good night ya'll!

Mo kidded!

Mo kidded today to twin bucklings, about 3 hours ago or so. Kidding went easy, Mo is doing good and so are the babies (hungry little guys!). They are both black with white ears and crown, and one has white markings on his legs and belly. I'll hopefully get pictures later or tomorrow and post them when I can ;). Oh and their sire is PawPawNin Quiet Wyatt so they are third generation bucklings.

Have a great evening!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Been busy with all kinds of things like caring for the whole Ranch while some of my family was on vacation, kids, auctions, etc... but had a chance to post.

Dream Weaver's MoReen (F2) is the next doe due... TODAY! She always either goes on her due date or a day or two later, so my guess is tomorrow or the next day. We'll see. She is bred to PawPawNin Quiet Wyatt for third generation kids. I'll post ASAP after the kids are born!

Other things going on at the Ranch are, the house and stalls are finally sprayed with the foam insulation so we can actually keep warm now! Praise the Lord! We *highly* recommend it! The company that did it for us is Ozark Foaming located in Arkansas and Missouri. Great company with a great product!

Goodnight!

More kids born the 17th!

Icthus VML Champagne Kiss kidded to adorable buckling/doeling twins on December 17th! Their sire is Dreamy-Hollow Parker - these are his first kids and I am very pleased with them! The picture is of all the kids... Maggie's are in the middle and the other two are Kiss'!

Purebred Mini Nubian buck & first kids of the year born!

First off, we are now the owners of a Purebred Mini Nubian buckling - Faithful Acres Benjamin!! We are very thankful to Linda Finn of Faithful Acres Farm in Linden, TN for this beautiful future herdsire! Benjamin is a very nice buckling... everything you could ask for in a Purebred Mini Nubian! Thank you, Linda! I will hopefully get some better pictures taken of him soon.

Also, the first kids of kidding season have been born! PawPawNin Maglio Tartuffini (we call her "Maggie") kidded on the evening of Tuesday, December 16th to adorable, tiny little buckling/doeling twins. They are both so small - about 3 lbs each :)! They are very colorful and so far look like some nice F2's! Pictures will be up hopefully tomorrow, if I have the time.

Goodnight!

Oh, one more thing ;). I am doing my cousin's website - Diamond M Livestock. Just started with it, check it out - www.diamondmlivestock.net

Down Syndrome book published!

Hello,

My older sister and mom have been righting a book about Down Syndrome for probably over a year now. There were some complications in getting it published, and with the move, finishing it was set back some. So it is very exciting to finally have it published and done! It has a wealth of information in it about Down Syndrome, and many parents of children with DS wish they could have had a book like this when their child was born. So, if you know of anyone that could benefit from this, here is the link,

Incase you do not know, my youngest brother has Down Syndrome. He is such a blessing and is a big joy in our lives!

Suriyah, sister to 10 siblings

Here are a few pictures. Euchalata (aka, "Eucha"), one of our llamas, is the one with the halter one. The other one is Ranger. And is just the wild ranging guardian, LOL. And the kid is one of our F1 Mini Nubian doelings from this February, Good Goats Lotsa Dots.

So, I have not posted in a while now. There are 14 does bred, the first ones are due December 22nd and 23rd, and the last one due so far is due March 24th. There are still 8 dairy does left to breed. . . so next year I'll be milking probably 22 does! We have 2 milk stands right now, but are (Lord willing), going to make a milk room. The room is already built, but we have to cement the floor and we are going to build a 6 doe metal milking stand. When that is all done, I'll be sure to post pictures for ya'll! We have to have it done before December ;).

We're in Oklahoma now!!

We are now in Oklahoma! We moved and got here in early July. We have been here for about 2 months now. I just have not had the time to post until now. But anyway, we are here and like it so much! It is very green and beautiful - just the perfect amount of pasture and forest for the goats. We have 44 acres here. Here are a few pictures - more later!
