Things have been busy around here and our lives have just taken a new turn. Meet the newest edition to our little herd... Dance Hall (I did not name her that - she came with the name!). A sweet Nigerian Dwarf doe who is already giving us milk! I just got her Saturday, so this quick picture is all I have for now, but hopefully I'll have more soon. I think she'll be a nice addition to our homestead and a good fit for us so we can learn how to milk regularly. She stands perfectly while being milked, even without a stanchion. Such a little lady!

Well, I don't know what happened, but when I tried to go to Kendra's site - New Life on a Homestead, a screen comes up saying it is an attack site! This has never happened before! Kinda scary! Is it just on my end, or is anyone else having this trouble?

I try to contribute to the barn hop but can't always do so. However, I love that it is here for all of us to read, learn and enjoy each others blogs. Thanks for making this possible!
ReplyDeleteOh, Dance Hall is such a cutie :) :) It made me smile to hear that she has ladylike manners while she's being milked :) :) :) It's totally quiet at my house, but I'll be thankful for that :) Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather :)
