Goats, chickens, cows....OH MY!
(Modena, Wisconsin)

Kidding season is upon us!

We had our last doe kid yesterday with two great looking kids. My-Kind Lilly is the proud mother of Miriam and Aaron. We name all of the kids born on our farm with Biblical names. It actually is a lot of fun. We got to name our first two doelings, their names are Hannah and Ruth. So to date we have: Naomi, Samuel, Moses, Zippora, Ester, Phoebe. The others that were not born here are LGR SF Ranger Walker, My-Kind Star Flower and My-Kind Lilly. We are starting to get quite the herd of goats. I had to invest in a automatic waterer because they kept running out of water in their tub and then they would take it. Goats are a lot of fun to watch and to interact with. Anyone considering milking an animal by hand to supply your family with their own milk really should be looking at getting a couple of goats. They are great animals and don't require all the land a cow does. Whatever you have heard about goat's milk tasting odd - put that out of your head because I have had a raw milk tasting test with my children and they couldn't pick it out. Yes, goat's milk can taste just as good as cow's milk with a little extra care.

Will write more later - I have to head to town for supplies.
