Meet the newest members of our farm family.

| Brad built a nice little goat pen along one side of the milking area. |
These lovely girls arrived on February 23rd. They belong to
Welbian Farms. Donna and Glen Pearce are loaning them to us until the goats we plan to buy from them kid.
Why goats you may be asking. Well Dorothy is 18 months into her lactation and is due to calve in late May, so we needed to dry her off. We needed a supply of milk during her dry period. And since I have wanted goats since I was 9 years old, and specifically Oberhaslis for the past 3 years, we decided to get some. We contacted Donna Pearce - a well known Oberhasli breeder to see what she had available. She did not have any Oberhaslis that would be in milk as soon as we needed them, but she kindly offered to loan us 2 lactating goats until her Oberhaslis kidded.
We are loving the goats and the milk. I have to say, I think I like goats milk better than cows milk, but shhhhhhhhhhh don't tell
Dorothy, she'd be upset.
