We have decided on a name for our new buckling (formerly Boots)...Sparky! He's gotten a lot more friendly and has become friends with my 2 doelings, Pepperanne and Little Girl <3

I learned the hard way that heat lamps are great for keeping baby goats warm, but they are SO dangerous! I almost burned my house down yesterday, after a heat lamp fell on a pile of hay and started smoldering. It was very scary, but I quickly got it out. I'm SO thankful I found it before I left for my Dr's appointment!!!

It's SO cold and windy in Maine today! We got a new little buckling over the weekend from This Olde Farm in Livermore, who I've yet to get pictures of because it's been SO cold and he's still a little shy. He's very handsome and will make a great stud on our farm! We also visited Lady and her 2 bucklings...super cute! I believe they are both polled and 1 has blue eyes. We also visited Old Homestead Farm in Hiram to start our Lowline Angus adventure (my husband's hobby, I do goats). It's been a busy weekend with lots of farm adventures! I'll post pics as soon as my computer allows me (gotta love technology).

Blizzard Nemo 2013
I was too chicken to go out and snap pics, so here are a few from my window :)
 A view of my back yard covered in white.
 Prego Peachy and Pan Dee braving the blizzard. And, yes, that's a sled covering the roof of their little house :)
RM, also braving the blizzard...can you see him?

Lady finally had her kids, 3 bucklings (1 didn't make it). They appear to be our stud, RM's, so they have cute little waddles. I'm going to see them tomorrow, so I'll post pics when we get home :)

Pepperanne and Little Girl are doing well! They are SO cute in their little sweaters ♥ Everyone has a warm house and plenty of hay with this nor'easter we're getting. We're still waiting on Peachy to kid...with our luck, she'll probably decide to have them in this storm.

And, I may just have found my new nigerian dwarf buck...we'll go look at him tomorrow and decide for sure :) He's black with white markings (almost like a belty cow) and frosted ears. He's just turning 8 weeks old. He has to be disbudded this week and then we can bring him home!
