New Addition to the Herd!





Meet Abraham



Last Sunday found us near Grants Pass, Oregon, at Fir Meadows Farm, picking up my daughter's long awaited new herd sire, "Abraham." Abraham is a pure bred Lamancha from excellent dairy lines. He's only two weeks old in this picture. Yep, he's a big one.


Since we have no goats yet born on our farm we also picked up a companion to keep Abraham company. Meet "Boomer," an active, cuddly, pure bred Toggenburg wether aka neutered male.





Here's Cat, the owner of Fir Meadow's Farm surrounded by some of her beautiful and friendly dairy does.



Back home in our barn, here's Abraham getting snuggled after his morning bottle



Not be left out, Boomer soon crawled up onto Justine's lap too. Fortunately there's still room, for now.
