Farm Updates

We will post major farm updates (such as the purchase of a new goat) here, but to keep up-to-date on other things (such as each time a kid is born, and other everyday type things) join our Yahoo group.

July 20th 2010 - Green Gables did very well in in MDGA's Summer 2010 Virtual Show!  Lots of first place wins and GCH titles...

 

Emma took GCH, BEST DOE IN SHOW and BUB in ring 1 with Molly taking RsCH, while Molly took BEST DOE IN SHOW, BEST UDDER IN SHOW, GCH, and BUB in ring 2 with Emma taking RsCH. 

 

Allie took Jr. GCH in ring 1 with Jasmine taking Rsch.  In ring 2, Polly took RsCH. 

 

The bucks also did well with MoonBeam earning his first -V-CH leg by taking GCH in ring 1.  In ring 2, both GCH and RsCH bucks were originally from our herd - congratulations to Susan Dove who owns these beautiful bucks!  Complete V-show results can be seen here.

 

 

May 30th 2010 - We have added another buck to the farm!  Many thanks to Sally of Beloved Farms for letting us bring this beautiful moonspotted buckskin buck home.

 

December 2009 - Our first year of Milk Testing is over.  Wow, what a learning experience! We are very happy with the results!  Most of our milkers earned their milk stars this year.  Some of the younger does will have to wait for next year.  Results of the testing are posted below (bold indicates where milk star was awarded):
