Before I post anything, I need to say sorry to all of my followers!  I haven't posted anything for a while as you can see :) Anyway, I decided to make some soft cheese the other night and thought I'd post some directions on how to do it. Soft Goat Cheese (EASY to make!) 1.  Pour 1 gallon of milk in a good size pot  2.  Turn the stove top on High  3.  Set your thermometer to 180 degrees  4.

I know it's kinda late to post this...........but I'll do it anyway :) Cloudy, one of our does had a very complicated delivery on 04/02/10, Sat night. We thought we were going to lose her and her kids for sure!  Her cervix was tilted off to the side & the uterus was tilted or twisted, so we were sure she wouldn't make it.  I called some friends & we posted the situation to all kinds of goat

Well, we've been working on some stuff around here this week.  Me and my younger brother (Josiah) built 3 raised garden beds and made a mound of dirt for the corn.  Here are some pics of it During the building of the first corn mound  Me covering the sides of the mounds with Cypress mulch.  That helps the mounds stay together after it rains Josiah sifting the dirt (it's SUPER rocky)  Here are

Well, we got 2 new goats, Sunshine (a Mini Mancha Doe that's pregnant)  and a LaMancha Buck.  Here are some pics:Here's Sunshine: She's pregnant in this picHere's the Buck.  He's an Experimental Mini Mancha:We got them on the 20th of January, 2010.  On the 27th, Sunshine went into labor.  She was very quiet during the whole birth and just grunted.  She usually throws bucks, and very few does.

Frozen Water + 3 1/2" of ice = Broken broom handle   Oh well :-)  Yesterday, I listed Twister, our big goat on Craigslist.  She's pestering our other pregnant goat and slamming her stomach into the fence.  Not good!!

Well, Cloudy, our little white doe is for sure pregnant!  I bred her to my friends mini Nubian buck on 11/7/09.  She has not gone back into heat again since then :-)  Praise God!  This will be her 2nd Freshening.  Our big Nubian Cross doe is the dominant one in the pen.  She has been bossing Cloudy around and slamming her stomach up against the fence.  She could kill Cloudy's kids.  She does it

Stormy Stormy is a Purebred Nubian doeling. She was bred in late march, so she should be kidding any time. She is very bouncy and happy all of the time! This is going to be her first freshening!
