UPDATE FROM THE FARM
as of Nov. 19th, 2009
It's now week 4 into our 2009 Breeding season. We are continuing to shear,
hoof trim, and worm the Does.
Some of our most incredible fleeces are coming from our oldest girls.
Today we sheared our Doe, "Monkey Tree". She will be 11 years
old this Spring and has a gorgeous grey, type B fleece.
This has been our best year yet for fleeces. We harvested them in
prime condition. So far we have sheared of 80 lbs of prime
Pygora fleece and we aren't done yet.
Terry and Susan from Rainbow Yarns NW came up to the farm last weekend and
bought all of our available fleeces. If you really want
excellent Pygora yarns and rovings, I highly recommend Rainbow Yarns NW.
Their website is:
www.rainbowyarnsnw.com
Next week we will be done with our 2009 Breeding
season. Our bucks will be returned to the "Boys" pasture and the bred
Does will be returned with the unbred Doe kids into their pasture.

UPDATE FROM THE FARM
as of Nov. 12th, 2009
Wow, has it been a busy and noisy time on the farm! We are going on
week 3 of our 2009 Breeding season. It is looking like the majority of
the Does have been bred and things are starting to quiet down, yeah!
Not only do we have extra added chores during
breeding season, but we are also shearing, hoof trimming, and de-worming.
We are going by breeding groups with the goal of finishing up by the end of
breeding season in 2 weeks. This should give plenty of time for
the goats to start growing back their fleeces before the colder winter
weather sets in.
Don't forget to check out Rainbow Yarns Northwest website at:
www.rainbowyarnsnw.com
for beautiful Pygora yarns and rovings for sale. |

UPDATE FROM THE FARM
as of Oct. 29th, 2009
Breeding season is now here. We just finished up
putting all our breeding groups together.
All pens and paddocks have been triple secured and will be home for each
group over the next 4 to 6 weeks. We like to keep them together
through 2 heat cycles incase they didn't take the first heat cycle.
We have put together 11 separate breeding pens this year. We are
adding 3 new sires to our breeding program.
We are excited about our new breeding bucks:
HMR Vitality, a son of our permanent grand champion doe, Divinity.
He has a beautiful light grey fleece and a body just like Divinity.
Wow! We are looking for him to add this big and stout body to his
offspring.
HMR Andy Jr, our AAGBA Angora buck. He is 1.5 years old and still has
a very fine fleece. We are looking to have him add some beautiful type
A fleeces.
HMR Good Nite Teddy, an outstanding buckling from our 2009 kids. His
dam is an AAGBA Angora Doe and sire is HMR Chester. Teddy is
exceptional in both beautiful fleece and nice thick stout conformation. |

George rolled in at 10pm
last night from his Northern cross-country delivery trip. We are glad
to know he is home safe and sound!
George travelled 1100 miles in one day yesterday. He totalled 6000
miles round trip.
Although our major delivery trips are done for this year, there is no time
to sit back and rest. Breeding season is now here.
We have carefully gone through each of our breeding Does and have selected
just the right Buck to produce the best quality kids for our 2010 kidding
season.

My Sweet boy, Clarence!
Clarence and his little buddy Z019, arrived at their new
home in Michigan 10/12/09.
Z019 is not sure about his new surroundings and sticks to
Clarence like glue while Clarence is enjoying a little treat
from Sue's hand. I will miss my sweet boy Clarence, but I know
he will get lots of love and attention at his new home.

UPDATE FROM THE FARM
as of Oct. 14th, 2009
10:45 am Pacific time:
George just finished his last delivery to Portsmouth,
New Hampshire. He have a very good trip. No truck or
trailer problems and all the animals did very well. George was on time
to all his deliveries. Good job George!
Comments from George about yesterdays adventures:
George got lost coming over the George Washington Bridge yesterday. He
ended up in the middle of New York City with the dually and trailer.
It took him almost 2 hours to get out of the town.
George spent the night in a travel plaza. He got a good nights sleep
now that the ram was no longer in the trailer.
Next year we may be going as far east as Portland, Maine.
Something we don't see very often back here on the west coast are toll
bridges. Starting in Illinois to New Hampshire, George spent over $200
on toll bridge fees. The most expensive one was the George Washington
Bridge at $38.

Kidding season is starting to wind down after a very busy last 2 weeks!
We are up to 97 babies with 15 more Does left to kid.
Although most of the babies are now born, the real work has just
begun. We have been busy tattooing ears, disbudding horns,
and banding wethers. We have disbudded 35 kids so far and
hope to get through the rest over the next week.
The weather has changed from rain to sunshine. With it
comes green pastures. The babies will soon be turned out
to the main pasture. I hope to take a video camera out
with me the day we open the gates to our big pasture. I
will be posting the video so stay tuned!

This is Little Bonnie's
first kidding. She was bred to herd sire, Charob's
Miracle. She wasn't quite sure what to think about
her babies at first. She thought they were little aliens.
After an hour or so, she bonded with them and they have been a
happy little family.

March 23rd,
2009:
Kidding season is here! We have 19 Pygora babies on the
ground so far.
The season is starting slow but by the looks of our Does, we are
expecting a population explosion any day now! This
is great as we should have lots of babies when the Golden Fleece
4H Club comes up to the farm for a "Hands-on Kidding day"
They will learn and actually participate in some of the daily
activities we go through when caring for a new born goat kid.
