Hero our three legged goat

admin — Thu, 29 Dec 2016 19:44:31 +0000

How Hero came to us is a small tale in itself. I was at the auction by myself for the first time. Now this was quite a feat for me, I find they talk so fast that I either try to bid to soon or to late. Yet here I was taking on the ‘fear’ of bidding at an auction alone. I stayed to almost the very end when this little guy came out. He had broken his leg while unloading at the auction house. I felt so sorry for him that I bided and of course got him. If you know goats they can go down quickly. I mean quickly. I told myself that if this goat was going to pass on I would give it a comfortable place to go not in a trailer with a lot of other goats pressing against his leg and causing him unknown pain. We set his leg and than reset it a couple of days later. Six weeks after that I checked it. He had re broke it. I started him on antibiotics and reset it. In a few days I knew he needed to go to the vet. Well the vet was good to us and amputated his leg. ( still unsure if he would survive ) He did and wonderfully.

If you are wondering why he is called Hero Every day I would go out to him and say, ” You are my Hero, keep trying “

Hero has taken to Ziva with a passion wanting her attention over mine.

When you look at these pictures you will see he still has the sticker from the auction and it has been three months. They must use some awesome glue.

Pictures of our GOATS on a Summer day

Here are some fun pictures of our goats on this fun filled summer day, July 11, 2016. This summer seems to be flying by.

Psalm 18:1 KJV I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

Everyone Welcome Atticus

We had a very unique Dairy goat Buck born here on the farm March 22, 2016. He is named Atticus after a very special young man. His sister named him after her brother said he sounded just like him. LOL.

Well Atticus here is your goat named after you. Just as special as you and just as unique. We are super proud of you both.

This is such a handsome goat. He is light brown and white with a charcoal color mixed in.

“I have for many years endeavored to make this vital truth clear; and still people marvel when I tell them that I am happy. They imagine that my limitations weigh heavily upon my spirit, and chain me to the rock of despair. Yet, it seems to me, happiness has very little to do with the senses. If we make up our minds that this is a drab and purposeless universe, it will be that, and nothing else. On the other hand, if we believe that the earth is ours, and that the sun and moon hang in the sky for our delight, there will be joy upon the hills and gladness in the fields because the Artist in our souls glorifies creation. Surely, it gives dignity to life to believe that we are born into this world for noble ends, and that we have a higher destiny than can be accomplished within the narrow limits of this physical life.” ~ Helen Keller

Ziva and Fred (the baby goat)

admin — Sat, 12 Mar 2016 13:42:17 +0000

We had some baby goats born here at the farm on March 9, 2016. I can not tell you how happy Ziva is that there are babies again. For such a young pup ( 4 months old) she absolutely loves her baby goats. She goes each time to feed them and even howls when she sees the bottles being made because it is taking to long.(in her opinion)( big smile)

Romans 1:17 NIV For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

New Babies to the Homestead :)

admin — Tue, 20 Jan 2015 22:20:35 +0000

We have a few new additions to the homestead. First off we have a lovely New Zealand Rabbit named Sweetie. She was expecting and has had a few babies . No pictures of them yet and they are still very fragile. We will leave mommy rabbit and babies alone for now. Pictures of babies will be later.

We also had two lovely baby goats born (it was a full day of babies here on the Farm). They were born a Kinko-Boer mix and Rose is their mother. She has a lovely boy and girl. We will be keeping the girl who I have named Dixie. Both are healthy and strong. A wonderful blessing. Dixie is light colored goat.

We have two more goats that are about to have babies. We are really excited here at our farm so keep checking back for updates.

Our scripture quotation for this post comes from NIV New International Version Study Bible

Proverb 3:9-10

” Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.”
