Happy New Year !

We're off and running into the new year. A time for new plans and change on the farm. We have sold off all our four Boer/meat goats and some of our Pygmys to make room for Zebu cattle. We purchase a trio of two heifers and a cute little bull. We won't be expecting babies for a couple of years so we may be adding a few bred cows as the year progresses.

Our show season kicks off soon...January 27th to be exact, at the FPGA Super Bowl of Pygmy Goats show at the Swafford's home in Wellborn. It will be a two shows in one day event and it should be quite fun. The pizza and storytelling the night before is always the highlight of my trip.

Our babies are almost all on the ground now. Just two more does to kid. We had some disappointments and heartaches, as usual, but for the most part the kiddings went great. Too many bucks to does though. Two of the best little ones so far is a little buck and a doe kid out of Gunsmoke and Dream Catcher Total Eclipse+. I expect him to be following in the hoofprints of his half brother, PGCH Oak Haven Farm Quinton, and the little doeling to be as competitive in ring and in the kidding pen as her mom.

If you are looking for a nicely confirmed buck kid out of Gunsmoke or out of HBF Primal Attitude, we have several great looking little studly bucklings to choose from. The light caramal guys from Primal Attitude will turn heads in the ring. I am going to wether very late this season to see how the different bucklings progress. PGCH Quinton took a while before he came into his own.

I hope the new year brings you great kids. More soon.
