The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life, sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all together.

Kids and Kids

(Pictured: Tumbleweed and M)
The boys are getting to know our new goats.

Lilo (not pictured) is a 1/4 Alpine, 1/4 Boar, 1/2 Nubian. She is about 2 years old and is due to kid in the middle of March.

Tumbleweed is almost 100% Boar. She is only 9 months old. We met her when she was just 24 hours old. Our friend, Sarah, brought Tumbleweed to our house for a few days when she and her daughter had a horse conference in Redmond.

We will keep these girls as our breeding stock. We will breed them to a Boar buck in the fall and sell the babies as butcher babies. My goal is to have babies ready to sell by Easter so that we can capitalize on the Hispanic community's desire for goat meat for Easter.
