Goats!!!

As most of you know, Sullivan is supplimenting with goats milk. We have been getting it fresh from a local lady, and she recently decided to sell her goats, so we decided we would buy them! Fun! So we have been prepairing for them, and they came home yesterday! So now we have fresh goats milk right on hand! yesterday was my second time milking, and lets just say, it doesnt come naturally! i think it took right around a half hour! This morning went better though!
Mikayla seems to enjoy them as well, i can already see a bond forming in the short time we've had them!
Here is Launa, the baby, think she is around two months old! she is soo cute!




Here is there leanto, and on the other side is the milking shed.


This is my milking doe, her name is Fawn. She is so kind and paitent to let me milk her.





And here is Sullivan all geared up and ready to go out and watch me do some fencing!



and Sullivan on fathers day!

Awesome Lindsey!!!!!!!!!!! I pray the Lord will bless us with a small farm someday. We are blessed now, I'm grateful for what He provides, and it will be nice to have a homestead someday and live off most of our own resources. I need to be patient! He's been so good to us.

We supplemented with goats milk when Haley was a baby too. It wasn't local, so it was very expensive at the time. I did make my own baby food, which was a major step for me at the time. Congrats on Launa and Fawn, they look so sweet! Glad Mikayla is bonding with them too :) Will she try milking them too?
