Five Sweeties sold!

9/9/2013

After 13 years of keeping Angora goats without selling very many animals, this has been a most unusual year.  I have had three independent inquiries about the mysteries and drama of beginning a goat farm.  One family has already purchased 5 of my sweeties!  I couldn't have asked for a better family to take care of them--they have a secluded, well-fenced, lush pasture, a large family with daughters who have lots of time to lavish attention on the goats, and they live close enough to me that I can come and visit them!  I had some separation anxiety because I sold them Sweet Pea, who was the first kid born into my goat family, 12 years ago.  And I sold Isabelle, who was my first bottle baby and is very affectionate.  And also Stormy, who is Izzy's first baby.  Just those three represent a lot of firsts and a lot of memories, but I knew that the Garners were the right family to treasure them as much as I do.  I also let Rufous go--he was the kid born brown last year. It was such a surprise that he expressed that recessive gene for the colored Angoras!  And I also sold them Samson.  He has always been a shy boy and he was very attached to his mother, who died last year during the terrible winter.  Their new family have actually tamed him enough to get him to come up to them for treats and petting!

I am so happy they have found a new home!

    Thank you, Lord, for my garden, my home, and goats!
