I recently picked up 2 young bucklings, probably 2-4 weeks old. They are bottle babies...I had forgotten how you can't go far when you're bottle feeding goats 3x a day! I got them, knowing they would probably go for meat and would rather see them go to pet homes, so I am selling them! I'm asking $75obo for each of them. Contact me if you're interested :)

The top pic is a nubian/nigerian dwarf and the bottom pic is an alpine/nigerian dwarf.

The boys are doing well! I had forgotten how soon they have all kinds of energy and are out playing. They will be for sale and make great Chrismas presents ;) They'll be ready to go Jan 10th, unless you'd like to bottle feed them. $75 for a wether and $100 for a buck. They may be polled...we should know in a few days!

Stella had her babies (Thursday, Nov 15th)!!! She had 2 boys and was obviously bred by RM, our big alpine/pygmy/toggenburg/oberhasli buck (the waddles gave it away). This makes 6 bucks I've had this year. I was a little dissappointed they were both boys...but it'll be much easier to sell them both and not end up keeping them :)

Two of our spring bucklings are back at Little Bit Farm (the gold&white and buckskin). The buckskin wasn't doing well, after being fed too much sweet feed...it's causes Urinary Calculi (urinary stones in the bladder, which cause a blockage). This is very painful for bucks/wethers, so make sure if you're feeding them grain it's in moderation and never feed sweet feed! I brought him to the vet and he had a procedure done and was put on antibiotics and pain medicine. It's keeping him more comfortable than he was but he's still hurting :( Please keep him in your thoughts that he comes out of this, because as the vet said "He's not out of the woods yet."

Thank you to my pal Meredith and cousins Morgan & Autumn for your help getting him to the vet yesterday! I couldn't have done it without you!

Jamison got out of work early yesterday because of the storm and decided to go to the auction. He brought a bunch of roosters, so it seemed like a good idea...until he came home with 2 pigs! One is supposed to be for a family member, but if he doesn't take it Rosie will have 2 new friends. I don't mind having a "little bit" of a farm, but what did I get myself into?

We're still waiting for 4 does to kid...hoping Stella goes soon, I'm very anxious to see what she has!

We're preparing for a very busy weekend of carving pumpkins for the 2nd Annual Pumpkin Lighting on the Tucker Rd in Wayne. We did it last year, but didn't get much of a crowd. We've advertised a lot more this year and are hoping that Hurricane Sandy doesn't keep the crowd away again! It's a lot of work but a lot of fun to get a group together to carve all of these pumpkins...it's dissapointing when you've worked so hard to put on a good pumpkin lighting and the weather doesn't cooperate and people don't come out to see them. So let's hope it passes by us and we have a good turn out :)

If anyone is interested in carving contact me for more info: (207)320-1866. We're carving today through Tuesday. We'll have the pumpkins, carving tools, stencils and food for all carvers!

The 2nd Annual Pumpkin Lighting will be held Tuesday, October 30th & Wednesday, October 31st after dark. Please turn on your parking lights ONLY for the best view of the pumpkins. Have a Happy & safe Halloween ALL :)

The pig is doing well and has been named Rosie! We've decided to try and breed her when she's old enough to have piglets.

There isn't much else going on around here except we have Jamison's cousin's Nubian Doe, Lily, here to be bred by RM. Nothing exciting has happened yet...I don't think she's in heat, so we'll have to wait a few weeks and hopefully she leaves bred :)
