Shes the begining of our new herd.
I have had dairy goats in the past, but due to differant circumstances had to retire the herds despite the joy they had brought.
I am hopeing to re-start a dairy herd this coming spring. Peaches pictured above had been hurt while her previous owner had unintentionaly over trimed her hoofs.
The previous owner sold me two older Malancha does which I purchase for $100.00 dollars each.
They are in a nice permenant home with people that love and care for them, the folks who have added the Lamanchas to their herd are goat setting the little Saanen called Peaches until we return from the wife's eye surgeries here in Baltimore.
We hope to return home by spring.
The man in Tennessee that sold the Lamancha goats priced the little Saanen we now call Peaches for just $45.00 because of her injurys, I bought her on the spot.
Peaches has now healed and doing just fine.
When we get back home besides having a organic milk herd, we hope to be able to take in injured or retired goats as a place of refuge.
We have through the years developed an appreciation for the working goat and their service to humanity.
