Meet Sugar

Sugar

Some friends gave us another doe. She is a Registered Saanen. Her registered name is Sugar. She is giving us about a gallon of milk a day right now. She came to us bred to a purebred Saanen and is due in April. She is three years old. She was a little shy at first but is now fitting in nicely with our herd. That brings our goat total to eight goats six does and two bucks. We are hoping that five of our does are bred. The first one is due the last week in January.

I have been breeding lionhead rabbits. Over the summer they kept getting out or should we say the goats where letting them out by breaking into the hutches to get their grain. Well the male disappeared, in late summer. The mother got out again but we left the top of her cage open. Not paying much mind to what was going on until we found three month old babies in there one day. Seeing how I lost my buck I was hoping one of  them would be a buck and luckily a little gray one is and he has nice long fur.

Alejandro our Junior registered Lamancha Stud

The Deer Path Duck Flock

After a busy crazy summer with work and searching craigslist for good deals on animals, I am back at least for this post. My duck flock now consists of five hens and one drake the hens where freebies I found on craigslist. They look to be call crosses. They enjoy flying around and fighting with one of the neighbors flock of twenty full sized ducks . We now have eight goats, two bucks and 6 does. Five of the does are bred four of them to proven lamancha stud Jasper. One a saanen  was given to us bred to a registered saanen buck. We bought Alejandro to bring new blood in and so we could raise registered Lamanchas. Jasper is currently being rented by HarlequinFarm.blogspot.com. We also acquired a pair of blue slate heritage breed turkeys. I sold some of my rabbits chickens but I also picked up two delaware hens a breed of chicken I have loved working with.
