Kerry’s little girl has a name.
Meet Echo. We gave her this name because she echos Moms spot. Also she takes her name seriously and echos her spot on both sides.

(Brigette took this photo of Sassy last week.)
Sassy, short for Sassafras, was born March 16 with a severe cleft palate. She was challenged from the beginning, being unable to nurse. We knew that her odds weren’t all that great.

Guy is such a Momma’s boy
Goats love trees, and we love to give them trees. But as folks around town trim their fruit trees, it’s worth noting that the leaves of stone fruit trees such as peaches, plums, and apricots can be toxic to goats.

We tried bottle feeding Willow last night and she chewed on the the nipple a little. I think she was to upset because we had put her in with the other kids. A couple kids started picking on her because she is new and younger. We decided to put her and Sassy in a separate space. Sassy doesn’t [...]
