Vera's naughty 2020 kids - Twins sired by 4MFVT Sunny Jewels Bandit. 

Vera is a beautiful Mini Saanen. She has pretty good attachments and milks down to nothing. Her teats are easily hand milked and machine milked. Her milk is absolutely delicious. She is a standoff-ish type goat, much preferring her own space from the herd and people. Occasionally she will accept scratches and love but for the most part she is happy to be fed and milked, then put away with no fuss.   

We have retired Vera with my mother just up the road in May of 2023. Vera deserves a long life of enjoying grass and sun and just being spoiled. We would keep her here, but our barn is only so big and I feel that Vera often gets bullied by our much bigger Alpine does. She also LOVES to be pregnant so if she is near a buck in rut she will just be miserable if I don't allow her to breed. Sending her to my mother's will eliminate that and let her just focus on the life of luxury that she deserves. <3 She will live with two miniature horses named Pixie and Ivy. 
Thank you to everyone who has ownership of any of her kids! They are all cherished and loved and I am SO grateful for that. Vera is too, even if she can't understand it. She loves her kids forever and has always been a proud and excellent mother!

Freya is a wonderful and very solid doe. She has excellent udder attachment and capacity - consistently milking over six pounds per day. She is the first in the barn and loves loves loves her pets and grain. She is a light of joy in our barn and her kids promise to be the same. Freya's only true fault is that her teats are on the small side and more pointed out than down during her first freshening. We are hopeful that her second freshening helps her develop a stronger medial to pull everything back into place! Freya's strength is definitely in her deep, long and very dairy body. 

Freya's 2F year has indeed shown a tightened up medial! Her teats have come to a decent position and have also lengthened quite a bit! She could now be hand milked and is still putting it in the pail!

Dam to Topolino Divo Mint Julep and Topolino Divo Prosecco 2023

Eagle is a well bred and very leggy little girl. She carries Sage Farm's incredible production capacity and lovely udder conformation in her genetics. Her dam was an incredible producer although a bit less hardy than our Pike Farm descendants. Eagle will be given an extra year to mature and will freshen for the first time as a 3 year old with kids from a Munchin' Hill buckling. Fingers crossed!

An extra year has done wonders for Eagle! She is a sturdy girl and will have a long life producing many kids! 

Thank you, Aching Back Acres!

Rest in Peace my little Dove. Please read about Dove's passing on our blog. She contracted rabies, which is very rare for goats. Her post has a lot of information that might help you identify rabies and protect your herd. Morning Dove - Rabies Story Blog

Dove is a well built doeling with a jokester personality. She is always up to something and knows absolutely that she is adorable and going to get away with whatever she's doing. Dove will be hitting some shows in 2021 with Apache and Eagle. She is expected to mature into a lovely doe.

RIP 8/17/2020
Squall passed from what we assume is an overload of parasites. She was not as hardy as the rest of the herd or she brought them to us and was overloaded before she arrived. The stress of moving while pregnant and giving birth/raising kids while trying to find her place in the herd may have added up to be too much. She was absolutely lovely and did fight alongside us until the very end. Her doeling, White Eagle, carries many hopes for a brighter future within our herd. 
Squall is a super sweet girl even though she can be a bit ditzy. She is attentive to her kids and will let anyone nurse from her if they are persistent enough. Squall and her doeling are an exciting addition of new genetics to our small herd.

Barnabas passed away quickly during one of the worst heat waves we've had in NH. 

Barnabas throws strong kids with a tendency toward doelings whose udders are vastly improved over their dam. Barnabas loves to play and is excited to woo all the ladies. He loves his scratches and gets along well with other bucks. He is a BIG boy and very strong.

Barn cats are people too.... Just as treasured as the rest of the farm. Molly was not afraid of anything at all. Her favorite past times were to roam the neighborhood looking for pets and snuggles. She enjoyed hanging out at the bottom of the driveway and saying hello to the children that walked by and to our letter carrier. 

Molly passed peacefully in her sleep over the winter of 2020. She was not wounded or ill, it was just her time. She was nearly 15 years old. Pretty good for a well loved barn cat.
