April 9th, double whammy at the farm!


Before I left for work this morning at 5:00am, I stopped by to check on Cookie who was due any day. I found Cookie by the barn, no calf yet , but I could tell she was close.
Well sure enough mom called later to say a bull calf was born and both were doing well. Here is the newest edition. Fast forward to around 8:50 pm, I went to check on a nubian nanny that was also round with kid, she was laying in the corner of the goat shed , but something was different, she was too quiet , and sure enough she was busy pushing out a kid. Then another , and another for a total of three doelings. Well I sure thought that was the end of the kids for this one, but no, when I went to check on them this morning I found another kid that she had aftyer we all left last night. So we set a new farm record last night , four kids from one goat....and I think Saucey , the mamma goat , set a personal best...........Oh the things you will see .

Hello From The Farm

Greetings all!!


Welcome to Southeast Texas and our little neck of the woods.

This will be the ongoing story of our family and the crazy farm things we do, what crazy things you ask? Well for example, stay up till all hours of the night waiting on goats to kid, working in the dead heat of the day putting up fence, that type stuff.... oh the list goes on and on, but you get the picture. More to come as events occur! Stay tuned!!
