Winter in the Heartland and meet the new goats!
Winter came to us late this year but there is no doubt that it is here. Although we have not had an abundance of snow, the temperature has been cold. But it is winter in the Midwest and so far we have only lost power once--not too bad. Just to let everyone know that our December storm made headlines on the Weather Channel and Fox News. Wow! People in a small nearby town spent the night on snowmobiles rescuing people stuck on the highway. I was told that those stranded were housed in local churches and in the fire department. This is a good place to live. The people here are good.
We have been here for about 13 years and are still considered "the new folks."
This Christmas I received two wonderful new goat bucks. One is a registered Nubian. He has been raised by the kindest people and is a real cutie--very friendly and personable. His barn name is Augie and he is so sweet and gentle; everyone just loves him!
Meet Augie!
I looked around for a good Nubian Buck because the Nubian milk is often compared to the milk from Jersey Dairy cows. If you have ever had the good fortune to drink fresh Jersey milk you will know why this was my goal. One of my does is a Nubian/Sanaan cross,one is Toggenburg and one is a Toggenburg/Nubian cross.
The goal is to have sufficient volume and quality.
Meet Indy!
Indy is our new registered Boer Buck. So sweet, and yes our grown kids love him. He, too, has a wonderful personality. He will be with us for many years.
