It has been in the plans for Bee Haven Acres to begin raising Fainting Goats. In the past few weeks we have gotten e-mail notice from Becky's friend, Nancy (of Critter Pines Fainting Goats in Reno), that our new babies have been born. It will take 8 weeks until they can be separated from their mothers and make their long trip across the country to Pennsylvania.
Here is a sneak peak at one of the little kids. Nancy is sending us 6 baby goats....4 females to breed, one buck and one wether (to keep the buck company). We are all so excited. This week has been a busy one. We took deliver on a goat barn and new fences are being constructed to house these playful little creatures. It is our hope to breed these kids next year and begin selling fainting goats!
