Goats of Blessed Fields

With a little over 3 acres of land, we have the perfect-size place for a goat farm. We have 4 milking does, all tested negative for CAE, so we are healthy. Though we don't sell our milk, we sometimes have enough to share with our friends.

Blossom, our doe with wattles (the skin hanging under her chin). She is a regestered half Nubian (from Mocha) and half LaMancha. She was born in April, 2011. We raised her on a bottle and just as sweet as she is pretty. We milk her twice a day.

Jill, our moonspotted doe.

Mocha is our oldest, best milker.

Additional animals

In addition to the productive animals, we also have other pets like emus, rabbits, and a horse that are mainly jut for fun. Our three Emus are what we call our "field ornaments". By that we mean they really don't do anything useful, but it is sure fun to watch them! They literally do somersaults in the field when they get too excited! An emu egg is so big, it is equvelint to 10-12 chicken eggs. We are hoping we have a couple girls among our 3 birds. To tell if they are male or female, you have to wait until they are a year old. Ours are just over year, so we will find out soon!

If you were to look in our field you would also see rabbits running loose. They have everything they need on our land, so they don't ever wander too far. There has been countless numbers of bunnies that have been born in our field. We sell most of them when they are old enough.

Missy is our pony-sized Caspian horse. We got her in 2013 and have been loving her ever since! Visitors sometimes get the privillage of riding her. Having a horse is yet another thing that catches the attention of those passing by.
