Meet the Animals
Axel
ADGA AB2349798
He has been a great addition and has been busy adding some very nice resilient genetics. We love his robustness and his ease of keeping weight even through rut. On top of that he's very well mannered. We're expecting 2 sets of kids from him this year.
The Goats
Billy
ADGA AB2279919
He has been a great herdsire. He is currently for sale, however. We have two does out of him we've kept. Iris is the first and she's gorgeous and is developing as a milker very nicely. I love the udder he put on her. Ruby from this year is the second and she is also gorgeous. With the nice udder he seems to throw on top of the gorgeous udder Gem already has, we're excited to see how she turns out next season.
Daisy
ADGA AB2279920
Daisy has been a great doe. She had twins last season and gave us a lot of delicious milk. We're taking guesses and think she might be carrying twins again. Hopefully she has girls! She was due to release the hostages December 24th. We're still waiting 4 days later.
Iris
ADGA AB2357082
Iris is out of Daisy and Billy last year. She made weight right before breeding season so we were able to include her in this year's season. She's gorgeous and I'm liking how she is developing as a milker so far. She kidded two polled bucklings December 22nd. Both are for sale on the sale page. Nice easy birth and healthy babies.
Gem
ADGA AB2349796
We bought Gem along with Axel and Buddy. We didn't breed her last year as she wasn't quite big enough. She is going to be coming on 2 years this year for her first time. She just kidded on December 10th and gave us one pretty little polled doeling. She has some great genetics and we are absolutely loving how she is developing as a milker. She's up to a gallon a day already and has a gorgeous udder that's very easy to milk.
Ruby
ADGA AB2418187
Gem x Billy born December 10th 2024. They gave us one perfect, gorgeous, firecracker of a doeling. And she's polled on top of it. She is definitely here to stay! Seeing the udder Billy put on Iris and Gem's gorgeous udder, we're very excited to see how she does next season if she makes weight.

ADGA
Daisy x Axel born January 5th 2025. They gave us one gigantic 10lb 6 oz polled doeling. She is definitely here to stay! We can't wait to see how she develops over the year. Hopefully she makes weight for breeding season.
Buddy
He is Gem's full sibling and they share a sire with Axel. He is wethered per previous owner's request. We got him to keep anyone company that would otherwise be by themself. He's a sweetheart and will probably have a permanent place with us being everyone's buddy.
Horses
Spot
Spot has been around awhile. I've had him since he was 3. He is going to be 23 this year. He's so good around the kids. I look forward to him being their first riding teacher and hope he'll be around for many more years. We've volunteered in therapy riding and he's perfect for it. He's semi retired for the moment and will just be helping me start Tik-Tak and going on short rides here and there as his body holds up for it.
Tik-Tak
This stunning coming 3 year old is probably the most intelligent horse I've ever met. She is an Akhal-Teke which is a pretty rare and amazing breed. She's very good for her age and sweet as can be. I'm looking forward to start ground driving her this year in preparation for riding in 2026.
Bunnies and Chickens
Chickens
We do have a bunch of chickens. We let them out as much as we can until they start getting in trouble. We usually have a surplus of eggs.
Bunnies
This is one of our 2 does. We bred them and have brand new kits, now. These are mini rex. Only one successfully became a mom. They're only out for this picture, she has them tucked up in their nest all cozy and warm.
Monster
This is Monster. I found him as an abandoned kitten and bottle fed him. It was supposed to be until I could find him a home, but here we are. He is very happy being outside and comes and goes from his room as he pleases. Always happy for a pet, he follows us everywhere when we're outside. He does a pretty good job catching rodents.
