Goat kids are here!


Our dairy goat, Taffy, had two adorable kids April 4th! And she blessed us with two doelings! So we are really excited about getting to grow our dairy flock so nicely this year!


I dont think theres anything cuter than goat kids either! They launch themselfs off everything! Including me!


She's a wonderful dairy goat and especially for a first freshener. She is nursing not only her kids but 2 lambs as well! I put the lambs on her on the milk stand 3 times a day and then offer them a bottle afterwards. They rarely drink more than an ounce or two so shes supplying almost all their milk and all 4 of them are growing great!


We couldnt be more pleased with our first venture into having a dairy goat and cant wait to add a couple more!


I LOVE goats milk cheese so im really looking forwards to the kids and lambs being big enough that i can seperate them at night and milk for our table too.
