Odds & Ends Updates!

Well, I can't say it's been an easy winter or spring.

On March 16 my Grandad (aka my best friend and my goat business partner) passed away. Anyone who knew him, knew how amazing he was. He had such a love for all animals, I am glad he has passed that onto me. He is very much missed and I will admit, it's been hard for me to keep going with the goats but also my life. Cancer is truly a terrible thing, but he fought long and hard and lived a great 15 months after being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in his brain, liver, lungs, and lymphnodes. He really was my hero and I miss him very much. Not a day goes by I don't think about him or miss him.

As for the goats, things have been doing alot better than the winter! Still no live babies though. And so far I've sold TreeFrog Pygmies Sugar Baby (back to her original owners) and they also took home Sycamore Creek Pygmies Nutmeg! Thank you Battigs! Hope your happy with them :)

I'm DOWNSIZING! I'm selling a buckling, several PET does, and 1 wether. :) Just too hard for mom and I to handle on our own.

On a side note, I'm welcoming a new show doe to the herd! She is my belated birthday present to myself! (using my b-day money to buy her!) She's a BEAUTIFUL light brown agouti with a bellyband! Her name is Billy Goat Co. Kellie! And she is *hopefully* bred to Miss Jill's handsome silver agouti buck, Burntwood Farms Deacon! :) Thank you SOOO much Jill for selling this gorgeous doe to me! :)

Seems like that's it for now! :) New pictures of everyone coming soon! :)
