About an hour ago, I suggested to Sterling that he go out to the shop to see if the mama goat I have in there had any kids yet. He came back shortly to report that, yes, there was a single brown baby! We grabbed Ginger and ran out to check - sure enough, we have witnessed the miracle of life on the farm! The Angora mama that we bought on Tuesday now has a little brown kid. From the rolling sides of the mama, we figure there is another one coming in shortly. Good times. The Angoras have proven to be a bit shy (a real dissappointment to our kids) so having some little babies that we can handle and grow up tame will be a lot of fun for them. Good times!

Wow Joe--sounds like you've got some amazing stuff going on.
Lots of fun, but we need more visitors. Anxiously awaiting your (and Clyde's) first visit to the farm.
I know that you and Jessica were anxiuos for more babies... These little guys-goats will keep you busy as well. The good news is that your human kiddos will be the best helpers ever.
Hey, not that you're (not) interesting but with two new babies in the Ashurst family, of course I'm on my way!
