Before I start today's post I must thank you for all of your sweet comments on yesterday's post.It is good sometimes to take a trip back into the past for those of you who have joined our fun recently.I started this blog 5...
- What About Horns?
It seems that those interested in purchasing/raising goats seem to have a preference as to whether their goats have horns. Not all goats have horns. Occasionally one will be what we call "polled" or hornless by nature. For the most part, though goats...
- Our Babies Keep Growing!
Isn't that always the case? No matter how hard we try to freeze our children at certain ages and keep them small, they always grow up...well before we are ready for it! And so it is the same with farm babies. When they are small, they are warm and...
- Our Kids Are Growing Up!
Sadly, we all know that babies don't stay babies forever. This is the most recent photo of one of our favorite kids, Forrest. Forrest has been featured quite a bit here due to the fact that he was the first born. Know, he is as tall as O'Malley...

It's Spring!
As the world around us has a make over...
from dull winter brown to vibrant spring green,
I thought I would tell you about our very own makeover special.
For a limited time
we are offering free makeovers.
You can start out like this...
and end up like this....
or look like this before....
and this after....
Although these "after" pictures have the girls posing like shrinking violets,
they are undeniably much happier having shed their winter coats.
Hickory runs and plays like a puppy since her haircut.
And Maddie is full of life after losing about 10 pounds of winter fur.
I clip the girls myself.
Even Hubbs gets his haircuts at home.
So, if you think you could use a makeover...
just let me know.
I'd be happy to help you out.
(please note, however, I only do one style!)
PS: The baby goats continue to grow more each day.
Their mamas have their hand full...
as these little ones are totally unruly.
Right after I snapped this picture,
Spot (black and white) jumped onto his Mama's (Myrtle's)
back and then kicked up his heels and leaped off.
Dear Myrtle...she is so patient with these little ones.
O'Malley's twins still show no signs of growing horns.
It looks as though we may end up with two poled (hornless) goats.
Poling is a dominant trait, so statistically we should end up having
50% of O'Malley's kids being poled.
Last year's twins, Sally and Fred, both have horns.
So perhaps these two will not.
Happy Easter from all of us
to
all of you, our friends.
See you next week for more Tails from the Farm.
