New ladies came to the Farm yesterday! See more about them on the Fainting Goats & Co. page!!! We are very excited to have more does for our breeding program that are from different bloodlines!

These two 7 week old sisters are our new Great Pyrenees Livestock Guardian Dogs. Intimidating, aren't they? Grrrrrrrrr! Sure, they're cute balls of fuzz right now, but they'll grow into huge and fuzzy monsters in no time flat - we hope. They're starting out in a kennel inside the goat pen with their own dog house and we are turning them out several times a day with the goats while we can supervise. As time goes on and they begin to mature a little bit and have learned some manners (don't chase the babies), they will make their homes permanently free in the goat pens to protect their family - our fainters. After a friend of a friend recently lost most of her 2011 kids to a coyote attack, we decided that an ounce (or 80 pounds or so) of prevention would be worth the cost of dog food and some space in our hearts. We're still thinking of names for these fuzzy heart-thieves and will update when we've made a decision! |
