Twins move to Goat House and family pics of Concert, bandaid, pinewood derby, style show, skiing, and new green pasture
Skippy has moved the twins from the Guinea house to the goat house. It took the twins a while to jump into the house, and their rambunctious arrival caused a mass exit of the other goats. Hopefully, they will all get along. Below are pictures of the the unnamed twins at the Guinea house before…

Demie makes a friend, Fishing, trail cams
Felipe and Tracy visited the farm. Although the new twins were held, Demie was the most comfortable resting in Tracy’s arms. Look how much Demie has grown in just ten days. Below: Trip was catching fish in Grand Isle, and Felipe was fly fishing at the farm. I think they both enjoyed their fishing trips.…

Carrots are sprouting and Demie can get through the fence.
Our carrots were planted two weeks ago. They still have quite a ways to go before harvest, but everything has to start somewhere. Below: Here is the fake owl we put the help protect the fruit trees and blueberries from birds. Hope it works. (We have real owls in the area, but they are not…

Skippy has twins! (And now we have 3 kids)
The 3 minute video below summarizes the first 1.5 hours after the twins were born. It takes a little while for them to walk, but they already have the instinct to nurse. Skippy has never nursed and kept backing away from the twins. Finally, the twins and I backed Skippy into a corner, where Skippy…

The new Kid is named Demie! (Female for half)

Finally getting to the plumbing in the Well house and beyond after the freeze.
As you may recall, we are switching over to well water for the plants and the goats. The recent freeze burst pipes in the well house and down the line. Below: Repairing the plumbing seemed easy-but we forgot to glue a joint! Maybe our future as a plumber is in jeopardy! Below: Picture on the…

New Kid, trail cameras, blueberries and family pictures
The new kid weighs about one pound. She is about 7 inches tall. Most of what you see is her coat because her body is very tiny. As you saw from yesterday, the new kid is learning to hop. Most kids are very playful and hop like bunnies to keep up with their mom or…

Where’s Waldo?
Bruce looked for the new kid for 45 minutes before discovering the hiding place. Can you spot the hiding place? Einstein has bonded with her kid. No need to “lock them up” to force the issue. Lettuce planted before the freeze is sprouting. Please share our blog on your social media. http://CCPygmygoats.com

Sunflowers, Goats, Traveling, and Skiing
When the leaves were removed from the dead sunflower, we were surprised to see new growth. Guess this plant will return after the freeze! Below: We purchased a new smelling Jolly ball for the goats since the green Jolly ball was such a hit. This ball smells like blueberries. It may take the goats a while to decide if…
