So we finally seem to have the website up and running! I found a way to update visitor without having to spend a ton of time on the computer, which will definitely make this easier. So what has been going on around here, SweatP had triplets 2 weeks ago, 2 does and 1 buck, all three are doing wonderfully! We collected our first egg this week from one of the chickens inside, which means I have to get the lights out in the coop so the others will lay. And, sadly, we sold our Kiko buck Whitey to a good home (only down the road), since we have no use for him with our minis.
I went to a craft show yesterday in Mt. Airy, and had a great time, I sold my dog biscuits and dog coats. I met a woman who make soap from her goats milk so I am looking forward to going out to her farm and looking around and learning as much as I can.
Here are some pictures of the new babies!
This is Jasper, he looks white, but is going to end up being a cream color. He has wonderful markings down his back and on his face and knees. We are planning to sell him, as a buck or a wither.
Next we have Pumpkin (thank you ashley for the name), she is a chocolate brown with black legs and a stripe down her back. She has some white markings on her face and frosted ears, not sure if she will be for sale yet, still need to decide!
Last but not least, we have Lilly, she is so far the favorite among family. She is half white, and half chocolate, with black legs. She also has some white markings on her brown face. We are not sure about selling her, but most likely she will be retained.
Well thats about all for now, I have 2 more does expecting and hopefully more eggs to come soon as well! Thanks for stopping by!

Ran across your web site off of your craigslist posting. Lilly is adorable! I have her male couterpart, Rudy, who was a bottle baby last spring. He has the same funky markings but is tan/white. Maybe we should let them meet . . . There is a picture of him on my web site www.poplarhollarboers.com under OTHER ANIMALS.
Like you, we started off with taking in discarded animals and bottle babies. We are now up to 25 goats, a mini-donk, 6 dogs, one foster dog right now, and lots of cats. Looking for a home for some ferals - altered and UTD on all shots but WILD kitties, if you know of anybody.
Thanks
Bonnie
