Angora Goats



They are all sheared now (although I don't want to humiliate them by showing their pictures after receiving bad haircuts). They are also sold, except for Emily. I will miss them, but at least they are local and I can go and visit. And I do still have Emily.



New Arrival!!!

After the angora goats left for their new home yesterday, I just had Emily left to shear so I went back out to finish that, when the kids noticed that Prism was pushing. Prism wasn't supposed to be bred this year, but we could tell several weeks ago that she was, although we had no idea when she was due. We only have one buck here, and Navigator did get into the doe pen a few times, so we do know who his daddy is. She presented us with a large, adorable, baby bucking. Isn't he cute? I love the color and I'm partial to wattles (the little dangly things he has hanging down from his chin). This would be a nice buck if anybody is interested.



Happy Birthday to Carol

Today is Carol's ninth birthday. We had a friend over and made homemade pizza. Everybody seemed to have a good time, and it was a pretty good party for a school night and everything. It's a little scary when your children's friends are taller than you though. hee hee



The Easter egg tree made it into the picture too.
