Our newest dairy goat, Hazel. She is a Nigerian Dwarf, born this past June.

She is beautiful!

I can't wait to get some goats. I got a bunch of cheese-making equipment from Santa, but will have to practice with purchased milk for now ;(

Well you know, we had a Jersey ow all lined up to be delivered here, and it fell through. I think she had Johne's disease, so it is for the best. I did write a story about how I ended up with goats, and laughed at the fact that with all of my dairy sheep and dairy goats, I would have been better off just getting a cow! It is a funny place to be, coming from the city, to say getting a cow would have been easier than what I have done.

Do you have someone near you where you can get raw milk to make stuff with?

I'll tell you what, I never thought I would get goats, had planned on the cow, but now that I have them I am so glad we got them. I just love them dearly; they are like dogs, they are so sweet.

So good to see you! You'll have to keep me posted on the cheese making, I haven't done it yet.
