New Buckling!

Meet our newest addition to the herd! We reserved a buckling from Castle Rock Farm late last year and he was born (we even had two to choose from!)

Stay Tuned!

It was suggested by someone visiting our "farm" in the city that I write a book about small-scale goat-keeping. . . Instead of tackling a book at this time, I figured it'd be easier to put together a series of articles on managing goats in an urban setting.

Putting my thoughts together on this subject now. . . so if you are a "city-dweller" wondering if keeping goats will work for you - stay tuned for some helpful information, photos, and tips!

On another note, I am working on putting together herbal tinctures, salves, and supplements for pets (goats included!) I hope to have these available for sale later this spring. I will be using them with our own animals first and let you know of the results! :)

Loco for Lotion! :)

I am so excited with the new line of Goat's Milk Lotions and Body B'Udders I've recently developed! It took a few batches to get it right but I'm very pleased with the latest creations!

I've already received the first order. :) Last night I felt like playing around after making up Rose Body B'Udder, so I decided to add some high-end Chocolate fragrant oil to the Rose - it smells soooo gooood!!!!! One of these jars will be staying with me. :)

If anyone is interested in trying this out, I have some sample size containers of the Roses N Chocolate blend and also Lemongrass Essential. I'd love to hear feedback on it!

So far, my mom has used the Simply Milk (unscented) on her face every night and tells me she LOVES it. My cat scratched me good the other night (she didn't mean to, the dog scared her). Anyways, the scratches were burning and kind of itching and I just decided to try and put some of the Body B'Udder on it - in a matter of seconds, the burning/itch was gone! Haven't even noticed it hurting since then. . .

Goat's milk is naturally high in protein, triglycerides, and packed with absorbable Vitamins A, B6, B12, and E, making it an excellent natural moisturizer! I also use skin-loving oils of Jojoba, Avocado, Soy, and Rice Bran blended with Aloe and Mango Butter.

Anyways, just wanted to share!

New Additions!

We are thrilled to have added two gorgeous Rosasharn does to our herd!

Both of these does are very sweet and friendly. Quite correct too! They are in need of some TLC, which we are lavishing them with! I will get photos as soon as they are looking better. We will be taking them to a couple shows next year and they will be included in Linear Appraisal. We're excited to see how they do! :)
