Bee Haven Acres is proud to present the newest members of our family! Meet Star and Ash. They are Dwarf Nigerian Goats and they are pregnant!! Dwarf Nigerian goats are a small goat breed that make excellent milk goats. They originate from.....Nigeria, Africa, of course. They are much more athletic than the fainting goats. These two girls were bottle fed kids so they are quite wonderfully socialized. They love climbing as you can see by the pictures of them on top of their houses. They are extremely curious and seem to enjoy watching the farm goings-on from that vantage point. Ash has the small white spot on her forehead and Star has a larger spot on hers. Star also has white markings on her side.
Here are a few pictures of the newcomers.....

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...
