Pine Needle Farm

  (Kila, Montana)
The adventures of raising cashmere goats.

Busy, busy, busy

I've been busy lately, as have most farmers.  We are finally getting the rest of our 20 acres fenced.  We are down to the last side and the last roll of wire.  Today when I was pounding in the posts and rolling out the field fence, I saw a fairly fresh pile of bear doo-doo!  No wonder the dogs were going crazy last night!  The bear had come in fairly close to the goat pens.  Good thing we have Nellie, our Great Pyrenees!  She's keeping everything away. 

   The goats are going to be very fat and happy when they get out into the new area.  The vegetation is very nice and high.  Hopefully we will get a little more rain after they are in the new half, so the old half can grow back some.  Then I can rotate them between the two.

    I got approved to sell goat meat at the Farmers' Market in Kalispell now!!    I took in some packages of burger and a couple of roasts last week, and sold all but 1 package of burger and one roast.  So this is good.  People around here are finally eating something besides beef, pork and chicken.

   Well, that's it for now....
