This is Snowflake and Cookie. They are one week old Lamancha doelings (girl baby goats). They are living in our home (well, basement). Anthony created an awesome pen for them to live in complete with white rail fence, pine shavings and sweet bermuda hay. They also are enjoying four bottles of formula/goat's milk per day which Stella has been totally helping with. Simon stands outside the "fence" staring in and giggling. We gotta whole lotta cute in our basement right now.
In a few weeks our Nubians (still living with their mama...different farmer) will be joining them, hopefully out in the barn. We'll have a total of 3 does and 1 wethered (neutered) buck. I think once they're in the milk, we could be getting like three gallons a day. Another wholesome and delicious farm product to offer vendors, friends and future customers.
