These are some members of the "crew".  There were 13 kids born in 2009, only four of them
females.  I have lots of wethers!  This year, there are eleven does that are pregnant, due starting
on March 22nd.   I'll be posting new pictures in April.
If you need some land cleared, goats are the way to get it done!  They love brush, knapweed,
and thistles.  They have done a wonderful job of opening our forest up.  We can see through
the trees now!
They make good pets, too.  Very friendly, and they love to see what is happening all the time.   
If you want a dual purpose animal, cashmere goats are good.  They are great weed-eaters that
just happen to have that luxurious cashmere fiber all over them!

The herd in June, no fleece!  They look so
different with no cashmere.  They start growing
it again the end of June.  By August, they are
fuzzy again.

That's her fleece in the bucket.  She
looks much better now!  Feels better,
too.
