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 cuddly and so dependant upon you. Then they begin to grow and become more independant and even test their limits like children do. We have had such fun over the past months with our baby goats. They still enthusiastically greet us at their gate, but now their play is a bit rougher and entering their yard holds its risks, though minor. Little horn buds have become fairly large horns, and our little goats have learned that they can make a point with those horns. (We have come to find that those horns are great back-scratchers, also!)
Here are Myrtle's twins (Sissy on the left and YoSkip on the right)
Forrest is the largest of our babies and still remains such a sweetheart...gentle and kind.
- What To Do With T. Donald?
Well of all the goat babies born this spring we are left with only one:T. Donald. We originally called him The Donald because of his white spot on the top of his head,that looked like a major "comb over".He has become T. Donald, or just Donald. Donald...

It is mating season here on the farm. The other morning, Becky and I did a bit of rearranging and paired up bucks and does for mating. None of the does wanted to leave their pen, so we had to move everyone together and then remove the ones who were not...
- 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...

Missy is pregnant with twins!! This is especially good news for the farm. About a month ago we did pregnancy checks on the three female goats that were bred this Fall. Myrtle and Jill both had babies on board, but we could find no evidence of fetuses...

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...

Our Babies Keep Growing!

Smoochie is growing to be quite the handsome fellow and will make a beautiful breeding buck.
Two of our goat babies remain For Sale....Yo Skip (fainting goat) pictured above and our little tricolor Dwarf Nigerian buck named Darryl... 
Both goats are available as full bucks (and would make terrific breeders), or we will neuter them for you. They need to go to a home with other goats as these fellows are quite sociable and will need company. Unless, of course, you wish to adopt them both! If you are interested....email us!
