A visit to the goat farm!



Goats, goats and more goats! I was in hog heaven....or GOAT heaven last Sunday as I stopped by the goat farm for a short visit.

I am glad that I did too as I was able to select which baby kid goats hair I will buy from for the fall clipping. I'll be putting a deposit down on 5 kids, a yearling and sweet ole Lucy.

This is the yearling:



And one of the baby kids. I believe this is Lucy's offspring. Lucy has always had amazing hair, even as a 5 yr old but she has not produced many kids. This year, she gave twin baby kids and I'm claiming both their shearings!


There is Lucy with one of her kids:

Look at that sweet face!

And look! The farm had a late bloomer! This baby kid was just 2 weeks old:

And I've staked claim to this little loves fiber in the fall.

The fall will be here before we know it!
