Goats, devouring sumac berries. 

This fruit is just about the only high-nutrient consumable left in Midwestern forests by this time of year. Many animals use these berries to sustain themselves through the bitterness of winter.

Well Nikki decided to drop all her fiber at once this year! It took about 3 days doing one hour sessions to comb this all out but it's nice to be done! I got a nice thirteen gallon trashbag worth of fleece off of her, wich for it's size is only 10.2 ounces of fleece! So next time you look at cashmere and think damn thats expensive just remember that the average cashmere goat only produces around 5oz in a year (also localy produced fiber is always a better buy ;)) So good job Nikki! I'm excited to process this to sell this year, though I'm not sure if i should process it fully into yarn or leave it as cloud for others to spin. Lots of decisions! I have four other goats to comb out and I'm excited to see how their fleeces turn out this year since Nikki's is looking so lovely!

Currently looking forward to spring very much. Not sure if anybody will be stotting or pronking this year, but we'll give it our best shot.

A few weeks ago, a treasured friend visited to meet the goats. This is one of the pictures she got. Pluto meeting her at the gate, because of course he did. He's adorable.

You might think that climbing a mountain is half the battle, only to find out that the mountain goats who live at the top are vicious, and heavily armed.

Some pics of the goaties! They are getting big! North American cashmere goats are not a huge breed, and does only get up to around 100-150 lbs. Goats reach full grown at four years old so my gals goat a ways to go since they are mainly one and a half except for Ophelia who is 2.5 years old.

   My all-time favorite goat. A GOAT goat, if you will. She had stripes, spots, patches, splashes, and a friendly (if highly assertive) attitude. Four, count ‘em, FOUR colors: black, brown, tan and white. Half Nubian and half Toggenburg breeds. Had beautiful, colorful kids and gave good milk. Her name was Bramble. I miss her.
