dairy notes
Sweet Land Levi (Sugar Moon Kizzy x God's Love Farm James) sired quads this spring by Capsand Creamery Andromeda in Vermont. All female! Levi's daughter Capsand Creamery Milky Way (dam: Capsand Creamery Andromeda) kidded twin doelings this spring as a 2nd freshener. Andromeda is dam to our buck Capsand Creamery Walker. Christine says that Andromeda continues to impress with the longest lactation and top capacity in her herd. I'm seeing this trait passed on in offspring from Walker and Kizzy and James' offspring as well. Most of our does milked through the winter and are maintaining steady production on spring pasture. Solid capacity through extended lactations will continue to be one of our goals in future breedings.

snack time in the barn

| If it's too blustery for a walk, we bring the browse to them. Fresh trees in February - perfect winter snacking. Happy girls! |
farmstead cheese
Ash ripened aged goat cheese. I'm addicted to this stuff. Milk production is steady so the cheese cellar is being put to good use.

winter walk
video by Renee W.
Goats love their winter walks in the snow - Sweet Land Blue Willow, Ruby, Tiger Lily and their kids. Tiger Lily looks so much like her dam Trillium and her funny dancing-walk just like Trillium's. Beautiful goats!
Oh the weather outside is frightful....
.... But warm straw is so delightful. And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow.
Merry Christmas!
Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow.
Merry Christmas!
