This fall we have decided to add a pair of Nubian dairy goats to our small homestead. One is already producing milk and the younger doe is ready to be bred this winter. We purchased them from a local retired couple who share the same passion for self sufficiency and small family farming. We will be blessed with two does, Belle and her baby Cailin. We look forward to bringing them home later this month.

Last week we began to construct our new shed/barn to house the goats and the rabbits in the winter months. We have gotten a lot accomplished in only a week. We hope to have the bulk of the building completed this weekend and then we can start on the pens and the fenced in yard.
